David Yeager is introduced as the chapel speaker (0:56-2:10). Yeager reads Scripture from Matthew 4:1-11 (2:11-4:13).

His first observation is that some things are more important than next week’s paycheck, meaning that one must teach what Scripture says even if it is offensive to the congregation (7:19-10:30). Yeager’s second observation is that one doesn’t score many points by quoting Scripture to God, meaning that one cannot force God to conform to how a person understands Scripture (10:31-13:38).
