World Olivet Churches Celebrate Faith and Family Day on May 27th

Faith and Family 2017

The 16th Anniversary of the Faith and Family Ministry was celebrated around the world on May 27th, 2017. Churches in all regions held special services to give thanks to God for blessing their families and celebrate biblical family traditions. Churches in New York, Berlin, London, Los Angeles, and all over the world recognized this day in order to continue the tradition of building a strong foundation of the family upon the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

In New York, a wonderful presentation prepared by the children was performed in front of all the gathered families. To the delight of their parents and peers, each age group from Kindergarten to 7th grade choreographed a special dance to a worship song. The performance was very graceful and showed how God is working through the next generation to raise up young people who love and worship him sincerely. 

In Los Angeles, California the special service encourages families to give thanks to God for establishing and setting them up in faith. Several testimonies were given about how God has blessed each family and shown them amazing grace through the love they have come to share with one another. There was a time of fellowship after the service where families could take photos together. In Berlin and London, families attended together and held services that instructed families to remember how God has provided for setting up the family strongly in the Word of God. 

Families across the world were reminded to remember Ephesians 5:22-23, "Wives should treat their husbands as Christ loved his Father in Heaven. Husbands should love their wives as Christ loved the church, sacrificing everything. This kind of sacrifice and love should be imitated within the family; this is the kind of standard we should desire to model our lives after." Thank God for establishing the family and for blessing so many in the church through raising them up.

God’s Gift and Our Response: The Cycle of Grace, Gratitude, and Worship

The Christian faith is marked by a unique and profound rhythm: grace, gratitude, and praise. At the core of this faith lies the unmerited favor of God, a gift so freely given that it defies human understanding. Scripture declares, "For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace" (John 1:16, ESV). This

Called to Make Disciples in All Nations

In His Great Commission, Jesus commands us to make disciples-not simply to inspire a single moment of conversion but to lead others into a committed, lifelong walk with Him. As Reformed theologian R.C. Sproul wisely reminds us, "Jesus' lordship encompasses all of life."

The Power Within: Embracing the Holy Spirit's Work

In the journey of faith, we often find ourselves eagerly seeking to fulfill the Great Commission, to spread the gospel to the ends of the earth, just as Jesus commanded his disciples. However, in our fervor to carry out this mission, let us not overlook a crucial commandment given by our Lord Himself.
