The second day of the Victory-2011 conference, the evening: Mikel French about the Glory of God in us

The first part of the evening service – worship – was prepared by the youth. They could fill the hall with the fire of emotion, energy, and joy. Then the theatrical dancing ministry "Jesus Dance" and the drama club "Impulse" showed how they could devote their talents to the glory of the Lord and serve Him. Then there was a première of the music video of the duet "Twice born." Many members of the church helped to create it.

Before Mikel French began his sermon, the senior pastor of the Victory Church Henry Madava invited to watch a video about the prison ministry, the ministry called "Life without chains," and the ministry to homeless people. The pastor paid attention to the signer ministry and said: "We have a special school for signers, and our trained professionals can help the deaf to understand the Word of God."

Mikel French continued a theme about God’s Glory in his sermon. He began with the verse "the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations… which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory" (Colossians 1:26-27). He said that the world religions all told about the mystery and means of gaining knowledge. But only Christianity, speaking about the mystery, revealed this truth: the mystery is Christ, and He is in us.

"In the Books of the Old Testament there are three fundamental prophesies, which are important for the people of the New Testament," the preacher developed his idea. The first is that we are the seed of the woman which will crush the serpent head (Genesis 3:15). The second is that we are Abraham's children (Gal. 3:7-8), “in whom all nations will be blessed.” Our mission is to bless people. The third is the Old Testament prophecy indicating that through Jesus we are the offsprings of David, "a man after God’s heart." God wants to have person's heart and to heal it, so that it could become God’s throne.

After the sermon brother Mikel asked everybody who wanted God to bless the people of the Earth through them to come upfront to the stage and to join their hands and pray together with him liberating God’s Glory. Almost everybody did it.
