2022 Grace Conference

In the morning session, Pastor Chris focused on Exodus 3:1-10 and invited the students to ponder on the question: “Are you listening to God?” He encouraged the students not to try to find their identity in church, home, or culture, but in God alone – to listen to what God says about what they are in His eyes. He concluded the message with, “You are so much more than what you are trying to be.” Several students were moved to tears.

The theme of the evening session was “Living out the chosen generation.” Pastor Willian gave a vivid example of how, just as when we were kids and played games with our friends, the team leader would pick the players, so God himself had chosen each of us. In Christ, we are (1) chosen (2) cleansed (3) sanctified (4) connected. In the end, students sang together: Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe, sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow.
