The urgency of the Great Commission: With billions still unreached with the gospel, the Church needs to unite and work together to fulfill Christ's command. The importance of personal spiritual health: Before we can effectively impact the world for Christ, we need to address our own spiritual needs and walk in freedom. The power of confession: Confessing our sins and struggles to God and trusted others breaks the enemy's power and leads to healing and wholeness. Highlights: Jennie's journey from IF:Gathering to the birth of Gather25, inspired by a dream and a desire to mobilize the global Church. The importance of unity and collaboration among Christians despite differing viewpoints on secondary issues. The need for urgency in fulfilling the Great Commission, recognizing that many are perishing without Christ. The role of technology and organizations like illumiNations in reaching the unreached with the gospel. Jennie's emphasis on her own "ordinariness" and the fact that God can use anyone who is willing to say "yes" to Him. A guided exercise in confession and reflection, emphasizing the importance of recognizing our need for God and sharing our struggles with others. Call to Action: Participate in Gather25: Join the global Church on February 28th and March 1st, 2025 for this unifying event.

Rather than fostering criticism, they will invite you to become part of the solution and make a meaningful impact in the lives of young people.Main Points Key Takeaways: Gen Z is open to the gospel: Despite the trends of young people leaving the church, Jennie has witnessed firsthand their hunger for hope and willingness to embrace Jesus.

The Church's role in discipleship: Events like IF:Gathering and Unite can introduce people to Christ, but the local church plays a vital role in providing ongoing discipleship and spiritual formation for the next generation.

Want to become great in God’s eyes? In this message, you’ll learn why sacrifice and greatness go hand in hand.Main Points Introduction: Pondering the Power of “Sacrifice” Great sacrifices, even in movies, art, music, or athletics produce a profound and almost inexplicable emotional and spiritual response. We admire those who make great sacrifices. We enshrine those who make great sacrifices. We honor those who make great sacrifices. We reward those who make great sacrifices. We seek to emulate those who make great sacrifices. Why? – What is this mystical union and soul connection we subconsciously make when we witness a great sacrifice for a noble cause, or a personal relationship? Answer – Sacrifice is the clearest and greatest evidence of the extent of one’s love and devotion toward a person, a cause, or a thing. --John 15:13 In short, sacrifice is “the arrow” that points toward who or what we worship (ascribe worth, importance, value to). I. Understanding Biblical sacrifice and worship: Lessons from Leviticus: Chapters 1-10 Lessons from the life of Abraham: Genesis 22 Lessons from the teachings of Jesus: Luke 14:25-35 Lessons from the Apostle Paul: Romans 12:1 II. What motivates great Christians to make great sacrifices? They grasp God’s unconditional love. They embrace God’s relational economy. They trust God’s eternal goodness. They recognize God’s sovereign ownership. III. Next steps to becoming great in God’s eyes: Have you surrendered your whole life to Christ as a living and holy sacrifice? Are you growing in loving God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength? Conclusion – Sacrifice is merely “love with clothes on.” Where there is great love there will always be great sacrifices.
