#71: Chip Arnold

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! . . . Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! . . . There will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes. . . . You will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. . . . Then the King will say . . . , ‘Come, you blessed of My father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.” Jesus speaks passionately in Matthew 23, 24, and 25.   Last March Chip Arnold, a Nashville actor who has played Paul, Jesus, and King Saul as well as Willy Loman (in “Death of a Salesman”), Henrik Ibsen, Henry Potter (in “It’s a Wonderful Life”), and many others, presented The Sermon on the Mount to us at NCS.   This Thursday Chip will present Jesus’s powerful words in three chapters at the end of Matthew. Chip says, “The words I memorized and speak are true. Most important, the words reveal the One who was and is the true source of power and life. I am not the same man.”     By the way, if you want to hear Chip’s presentation of the Sermon on the Mount, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X6LL8ZMghs&t=11s
