Pastor Daniel Stevens’ sermon emphasizes God’s plan for growth and expansion in our faith and communities. Reflecting on Philippians 1:3-6, he highlights how the Apostle Paul’s journey mirrors our calling to believe for “more to come.” Pastor Stevens reiterates Good Hope Church's vision—“Reach Up, Rise Up, Reach Out”—and explores Core Value #4: fostering Spirit-filled, life-giving churches in every community. This aligns with the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) and the transformative power of Acts 1:8. Churches must not become stagnant or toxic but instead embrace their role in spreading hope.
He encourages believers to adopt a “YES until no” attitude, prioritize God’s long-term plan over personal attachments, and identify their unique role in advancing this mission—whether through going, giving, praying, or staying. Sacrifices, like Jesus leaving Heaven for humanity, are necessary but eternally rewarding. Together, we can empower the faithful to embrace the value of reaching the “one” while strengthening the “99.”
