Worship Service Highlights Sept 4

Dr. Phillip Bishop (Alabama,Kinesiology) spoke on Friday, Sept 4 about reasons for hope.

Bishop talked about those who have mentored him in academia, as well as those he has mentored, both as graduate students and as young faculty. Over time he realized that he would not be the greatest instructor at the University of Alabama, nor the most prolific writer, though he did win recognition from the university for both during his career.

Phil encouraged people within the university to look for ways to show grace to students, particularly in this difficult environment. And, he added, to recognize our calling: “From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked” (Luke 12:48) The university, he said, is a place of tremendous possibilities and one way to help others is to extend the grace that Christ has shown us to others.
