欧博体育 Chapel, Week of January 5th, 2026

Good Afternoon Saints,

For tomorrow's chapel, we will be learning about one of the most intimate names of God: the Aramaic word "Abba."

"Abba" means "Dear Father"—a word that beautifully combines intimacy and honor. It communicates that we can relate to God not as a distant, far-away ruler, but as a loving and affectionate Father. Because God is our Abba, He is never far away. He is always near—within arm's reach—because we are His children, and He is always accessible to us.

When we go through difficult times, Abba is near us. When we are confused or discouraged, Abba is with us. When we don't know what to do and we feel all alone, Abba is with us.

"Abba" is a term of reverential endearment—it speaks of a Father who is both loving and holy, who knows everything about us and yet loves us anyway.

Our main text will be Mark 14:36, where we see Jesus Himself cry out, "Abba, Father," and we will also look at a couple of passages from Paul's letters that show us that, through Jesus, we are invited into this same relationship with God.

May the Lord bless our time together tomorrow.

With the Love of Christ,
