Do You Have Compassion for Others?

Growing in Grace This report shows you how the Lord is using the Growing in Grace program to reach people we could never reach otherwise. It features some of our pastor partners in Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Zambia, and Ghana who are touching many souls.

In Matthew 20, Jesus tells the story of a landowner who hired workers throughout the day but paid them all the same reward. Through this powerful parable, Rev. Chris reminds us that God’s grace is not earned by effort or time, but freely given out of His goodness. The Lord does not deal with us according to who we are, but according to who He is. No matter when we come to Him, there is a place for each of us in His vineyard.

In this message, Rev. Steve reminds us that being led by the Spirit is the true mark of a believer. The Spirit's leading must come before feelings, pressure, or personal reasoning. When we move without His direction, we open the door for frustration and give the enemy room to work. Every word, action, and response should reflect the Spirit of God within you. If you are truly following Jesus, your life will reflect His nature, demonstrating mercy, patience, and obedience even in the face of pressure and temptation.

Rev. Chris and Rev. Steve give Bible answers to questions submitted by members and partners.

Heaven is a real, glorious place beyond anything we can imagine, but the most important question is this: Are you going? The Bible makes it clear that good deeds cannot open Heaven's gates (Titus 3:5). Only a heart cleansed by the blood of Jesus can enter in. You must know without a doubt that Christ lives in your heart, because without Jesus, there is no salvation and no Heaven. God's mercy reaches every soul, no matter the past, but you must be born again. Heaven is prepared for the redeemed. Are you ready for that glorious place?

We have a real enemy, but God has not left us defenseless. Through His Word, His grace, and the authority of Christ, we are fully equipped to stand our ground. Stay rooted in Scripture, resist the enemy, and walk in the victory the Lord has already secured. “Be sober, be vigilant because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8)
