Growing In Grace - Mission Reports

God can stir the heart of anyone to accomplish His purpose. In the Book of Ezra, King Cyrus was moved by God to make a powerful decree allowing the people of Israel to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the Temple. In this message, Rev. Steve Millar reminds us that God is still stirring hearts today. He can place a burden, a desire, or a calling within us that leads us to do His will and accomplish something greater than ourselves.

Are you being stirred by God? When He moves on your heart, will you respond and allow Him to use your life for His purpose?

In this service, members and partners share testimonies about what God has done in their lives.

What does it mean that Jesus is seated at the right hand of power? It means the One who walked in our flesh, felt our pain, endured rejection, and died on the cross is now exalted in victory. He is not distant—He sees you, hears you, and intercedes for you.

The enemy wants you to forget who is on the throne. But when you lift your eyes and remember where Jesus is, your faith rises. He is far above every power, every principality, every fear, and every storm.

He is seated because the work is finished, and because He is seated, you can stand.

If the world could only read your life, what would it say about Jesus?
Your life is a letter, an epistle being read by those around you. But you were never meant to be the author. The Holy Spirit is the One who writes Christ upon your heart, revealing His love, mercy, faith, and power through your life.

You cannot make yourself more like Jesus through human effort. The flesh profits nothing; the power is not in the vessel, but in the treasure within. When we stop striving and surrender to the Spirit, even our weakness becomes an opportunity for the strength of Christ to be revealed.

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 from Burundi, Kenya, Ghana, the Philippines, Nigeria, and Bangladesh who are touching many souls.

What truly identifies a life changed by Christ? It’s not simply how much we know, but how much we love. The love of God working through us is the greatest witness we can give. Through the Holy Spirit, that love grows within us, gives us strength, breaks sin’s power, and carries us through every trial. When everything else fails, God’s love never fails.
