The Holy Spirit has fueled gospel witness through the ages, Heitzig tells European leaders

At the recent European Congress on Evangelism in Berlin, Rev. Skip Heitzig emphasized the vital and ongoing role of the Holy Spirit in empowering gospel proclamation, drawing parallels between the early church’s explosive growth and the Church’s present-day mission. Citing passages from the book of Acts, Heitzig challenged Christian leaders not to rely on programs or personal effort alone, but to seek the same spiritual empowerment that transformed timid disciples into bold evangelists.

  • The need for justice, mercy, and humility

    How should followers of Jesus respond in a time of political turmoil and cultural fragmentation, when the loudest voices often drown out the wisest? We don't need to guess. God has revealed what the Lord requires of us, and Jesus demonstrated the practicalities of it. God's people must keep justice, loving mercy, and humility at the forefront of our ethics as a compass to guide us.

  • Gratitude is a power that can change everything

    Gratitude is powerful medicine. It is like oxygen for the soul. We don’t thrive without it. We are hard-wired to say "thank you". Psychologists now confirm what scripture has always taught: grateful people are happier, healthier and more hopeful. In contexts of rising conflict, gratitude is a healthier way forward. Ask the Holy Spirit to form that fruit in you for your benefit and those around you.
