In Joel 2:28, God promises that in the last days, He will pour out His Spirit on all flesh, and the young will see visions. This prophetic word highlights the unique and powerful role young, Spirit-filled believers are called to play in God’s end-time plan. Unlike dreams, which often reveal God’s fixed purposes, visions are calls to action, experienced by the awake and alert. Young believers are characterized by energy, boldness, and a readiness to move—and God intends to use that strength to fulfill His purposes. Just as Peter and Paul received visions that launched them into action, today’s youth are invited to ask: “Lord, where is my vision?” The older generation has its role—like Gamaliel, they offer wisdom, stability, and understanding of the past. They are to dream dreams that confirm God's will and teach the younger generation the truths of salvation, unity, and the power of the name of Jesus. Yet it is the youth who will see the fresh visions, initiate new movements, and answer the urgent calls of the Spirit. Today’s young believers are uniquely positioned to reach the world through new tools—digital evangelism, creative arts, and innovative ministries. Like David before Goliath, they may be seen as reckless, but their zeal is precisely what is needed for the Great Commission. Unity across generations is vital—the wisdom of the elders must support the vision of the young. God is doing a new thing (Isaiah 43:19), and He is calling young people to respond with boldness and urgency. The last days are not a time of retreat, but a time of revival. This is a divine invitation for young believers to be history makers. God is waiting for your yes—step into your vision and let the Spirit work mightily through you.

The sermon “The Waters of Salvation: Finding the Life Within” explores the deep biblical significance of water as a symbol and medium of spiritual renewal, cleansing, and divine transformation. Water, covering most of the earth, represents more than physical life—it mirrors the mysteries of salvation found in Jesus Christ. Just as creation began when the Spirit moved upon the waters in Genesis, so spiritual rebirth begins with the waters of baptism, as Jesus affirmed to Nicodemus in John 3:5. Baptism isn’t just symbolic; it is a sacred entry into the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. The Ethiopian eunuch's eager question in Acts 8:36, “What doth hinder me to be baptized?” reflects how water becomes a moment of divine opportunity—an open invitation to eternal life. Biblical stories such as Naaman’s healing in the Jordan, the parting of the Red Sea, Jonah’s deliverance, and Noah’s preservation all reinforce water’s role as a medium of both judgment and grace. In each account, water responds to God’s command and becomes a vessel of salvation for those who obey. Romans 6:4 teaches that baptism unites us with Christ’s death so we may rise in new life, while Galatians 3:27 reveals that the baptized are clothed in Christ. This divine transformation is not achieved by human effort but by faith and the power of Jesus’ resurrection. The call to baptism is urgent; nothing should hinder one from responding. As Peter declared in 1 Peter 3:20-21, baptism saves—not by washing the body, but by appealing to God with a clean conscience. The waters are ready, holy, and responsive. To step into them is to enter into Christ, receive His Spirit, and begin a victorious, transformed life. Today, the waters still call—offering salvation to all who believe and obey.

The love of Christ is beyond human comprehension, as expressed in Ephesians 3:17–19. Paul prays that believers might grasp its breadth, length, depth, and height—even though it surpasses knowledge. Christ’s love is not a concept to merely understand intellectually; it is a divine reality meant to be experienced. The breadth of His love embraces all people—regardless of race, status, or past—reaching out to sinners, outcasts, and even enemies. It is a love that welcomes the prodigal, seeks the lost, and forgives the undeserving. The length of Christ’s love endures forever; it existed before time and stretches into eternity. He loved us even when we were unfaithful and continues to draw us with unchanging mercy. From Peter’s restoration to Israel’s repeated forgiveness, His enduring love remains steadfast and unconditional. The depth of His love is revealed in the extent of His suffering. Christ descended into human brokenness—leaving heavenly glory to take on suffering, shame, and even death—for our redemption. He bore the wrath of God on the cross and entered the grave to lift us out of sin’s depths. But His love does not stop there; it lifts us up to heavenly places. Though we were once dead in sin, He has raised us with Him, made us part of God’s family, and given us a place in His eternal kingdom. This love transforms our destiny—turning slaves into sons, strangers into heirs, and sinners into saints. Such a love compels a response. We love because He first loved us, and that love should shape our entire lives—how we worship God, treat others, and live each day. Rooted and grounded in His love, we become living witnesses of His grace, drawing others to the One whose love truly defies comprehension.
