SUMMARY:Seeing Christ in the Passover: A Night of Worship at Torch Community Church
DESCRIPTION:This year\, Torch Community Church is gathering for a special evening of worship and reflection through a Messianic Passover Seder\, and I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to lead the teaching. By the grace of God\, I’ve had the privilege of walking through this powerful biblical object lesson for more than 20 years\, and it never grows old. Each time\, the beauty of the gospel shines a little brighter as we see how the Passover ultimately points us to Jesus. \nThe heart of the evening is not ceremony — it’s worship. As Hebrews reminds us\, we come “fixing our eyes on Jesus\, the author and perfecter of our faith” (Hebrews 12:2). Every element of the Passover narrative — the lamb\, the blood\, the deliverance — serves as a vivid picture preparing God’s people to recognize the true and better Lamb who was to come. When we walk through the Seder\, we’re not simply remembering Israel’s deliverance from Egypt. We’re celebrating the far greater deliverance accomplished through the cross. Just as the Passover lamb was sacrificed so judgment would pass over the people\, so Christ\, our Passover Lamb\, was sacrificed for us (1 Corinthians 5:7). \nIt’s important to remember that this evening isn’t about perfectly reproducing every historical or cultural detail. The goal is not precision in ritual but clarity in proclamation. The Passover itself was always meant to teach — a God-given object lesson pointing forward to redemption. Jesus Himself reframed the Passover meal on the night He was betrayed\, revealing its fulfillment in the new covenant:“This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood” (Luke 22:20). Through this lens\, the Seder becomes a beautiful visual sermon. Every symbol whispers the same message: God rescues His people through the sacrifice of a substitute. That story reaches its climax in the person and work of Jesus Christ. \nLiving in the New Covenant\nAs believers\, we participate in this evening not as those under the law\, but as those redeemed by grace. Scripture is clear that we are not under the old covenant but under the new\, established through Christ’s finished work (Romans 6:14; Hebrews 8:6–13). That truth frees us to celebrate the Passover not as an obligation\, but as an opportunity — a way to rejoice in the fulfillment of God’s promises. We look back at the shadows and rejoice because we know the substance. The symbols point us to the Savior\, and the story leads us to the cross. \nA Night Centered on the Gospel\nMy prayer for this gathering is simple: that hearts would be stirred with fresh wonder at the beauty of the gospel. Whether someone is experiencing a Messianic Seder for the first time or has attended many\, the goal is the same — to see Jesus more clearly\, love Him more deeply\, and worship Him more fully. \nBecause in the end\, the Passover finds its true meaning in Him.He is the Lamb without blemish.His is the blood that saves.He is the Deliverer who brings us from slavery to freedom. \nAnd so we gather not merely to remember a story\, but to celebrate a Savior.

SUMMARY:Evangelism Training for Emmaus University Students
DESCRIPTION:I’m thankful for the opportunity to spend time with students at Emmaus University on April 14 for a focused witnessing training designed to equip and encourage believers to confidently share the gospel. \nCollege is a season filled with learning\, growth\, and important decisions—but it’s also a season rich with gospel opportunity. Campuses are full of conversations about meaning\, truth\, identity\, and purpose. Scripture reminds us that “you are the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14)\, and God has strategically placed His people exactly where they are for His purposes. \nThis training is designed to help students see evangelism not as a pressure-filled activity\, but as a natural overflow of a life transformed by Christ. Jesus did not call His followers to be silent believers\, but faithful witnesses: “You will be My witnesses” (Acts 1:8). Sharing the gospel is not reserved for experts—it is the joyful calling of every Christian. \nDuring this time together\, we’ll focus on: \n\n\nGaining confidence in the message of the gospel \n\n\nLearning how to start spiritual conversations naturally \n\n\nUnderstanding how Scripture speaks to the human conscience \n\n\nTrusting God with the results of our witness \n\n\nThe apostle Paul wrote\, “We are ambassadors for Christ\, God making His appeal through us” (2 Corinthians 5:20). That truth shapes how we approach evangelism—with humility\, clarity\, and dependence on God rather than ourselves. Students will be encouraged to see that evangelism is not about winning arguments or forcing outcomes. It’s about faithfully proclaiming Christ and trusting the Holy Spirit to open hearts. As Scripture teaches\, “Faith comes from hearing\, and hearing through the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17). \nMy prayer for this training is that students would leave: \n\n\nStrengthened in their confidence in God’s Word \n\n\nEncouraged to live out a lifestyle of evangelism \n\n\nMotivated to boldly but graciously share Christ on campus and beyond \n\n\nPlease pray for this time—that God would prepare hearts\, grant boldness\, and use His Word to bear lasting fruit. “The gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16)\, and we trust Him to work mightily through faithful obedience. I’m grateful for the chance to invest in the next generation of gospel witnesses and look forward to seeing how God uses this training for His glory.

SUMMARY:Inspiring Students to the Adventure of Evangelism at Emmaus University
DESCRIPTION:I’m grateful and excited for the opportunity to speak in chapel at Emmaus University on April 15. College campuses are places where worldviews are shaped\, convictions are tested\, and life trajectories are often set. It’s a privilege to open God’s Word with students during such a formative season of life. My prayer for this time is simple but weighty: that students would be equipped and inspired to embrace a lifestyle of evangelism—not as a temporary activity\, but as a joyful\, lifelong calling flowing from their love for Christ. \nJesus did not call His followers to occasional witness\, but to faithful obedience: “You will be My witnesses” (Acts 1:8). Evangelism is not merely something we do; it is part of who we are as those who have been redeemed by grace. When the gospel truly grips our hearts\, we cannot help but want others to hear the good news of Jesus Christ. \nCollege students stand at a crossroads. Career paths are being considered. Dreams are forming. Plans are taking shape. Scripture reminds us\, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart… and He will make straight your paths” (Proverbs 3:5–6). My hope is to encourage students to think deeply—not only about what they will do for a living\, but about how their lives will be used for eternal purposes. Some students may be called to faithfully witness in the workplace\, the classroom\, or their local communities. Others may sense God stirring their hearts toward full-time ministry\, missions\, or vocational gospel work. Jesus said\, “The harvest is plentiful\, but the laborers are few” (Matthew 9:37). We desperately need men and women who are willing to give their lives to the proclamation of Christ—wherever He sends them. \nPaul’s words to Timothy ring especially true for this generation: “Do the work of an evangelist\, fulfill your ministry” (2 Timothy 4:5). Whether one’s calling leads to the marketplace or the mission field\, every believer is entrusted with the gospel and called to steward it faithfully. This upcoming time at Emmaus University is about lifting up Christ\, grounding students in Scripture\, and reminding them that the gospel is the power of God for salvation (Romans 1:16). It’s about inspiring courage\, faithfulness\, and obedience in a world that desperately needs truth. \nPlease pray with me: \n\n\nThat students would grow in confidence in the gospel \n\n\nThat God would ignite a lasting passion for evangelism \n\n\nThat some would prayerfully consider full-time ministry \n\n\nThat Christ would be exalted and His Word would bear fruit \n\n\nI’m thankful for the opportunity to invest in the next generation of gospel witnesses and laborers. May God use this time to shape lives\, clarify callings\, and advance His kingdom—for His glory alone.

SUMMARY:Taking the Gospel to the Streets of Madison\, Wisconsin
DESCRIPTION:I’m thankful for the opportunity to join a group of Emmaus University students on an upcoming witnessing trip to Madison\, Wisconsin\, where we’ll be taking the gospel to the streets and engaging people with the good news of Jesus Christ. \nThere is something profoundly biblical about stepping into public spaces to proclaim Christ. Jesus Himself often taught and interacted with people in open\, everyday settings—by roadsides\, marketplaces\, and city streets. Scripture reminds us\, “How are they to hear without someone preaching?” (Romans 10:14). Our desire on this trip is simply to be faithful messengers\, trusting God to do what only He can do in the hearts of those we encounter. \nThis outreach is not only about sharing the gospel—it’s also about training and discipling students through real-world experience. I’ll be walking alongside the students\, coaching them as they engage in conversations\, offering feedback\, and mentoring them in biblical faithfulness\, clarity\, and love. Evangelism is best learned not only in the classroom\, but in the context of obedience. \nJesus didn’t merely teach His disciples and send them away; He walked with them\, corrected them\, encouraged them\, and shaped them over time. In the same way\, this trip is designed to help students grow in confidence\, discernment\, and reliance on the Holy Spirit. As we head into the streets of Madison\, we do so prayerfully\, knowing that the gospel is offensive to some and life-giving to others. Our responsibility is not to produce results\, but to faithfully proclaim Christ with humility and courage. \nPlease pray: \n\n\nThat God would open hearts and grant repentance and faith \n\n\nThat students would grow in boldness and compassion \n\n\nThat Christ would be honored in every interaction \n\n\nThis trip is an exciting opportunity to invest in the next generation of gospel witnesses while proclaiming the unchanging message of salvation through Jesus Christ alone. We trust that God will use these moments—both seen and unseen—for His glory and for eternal good. Thank you for praying for us as we go\, coach\, mentor\, and proclaim Christ in Madison.
