Pastor Van began by expressing gratitude for the congregation's presence and shared updates about the church's expansion and ministry growth, citing a scriptural foundation from Isaiah 54 about enlarging their community. He highlighted the recent successes during Easter weekend, including over 4,000 attendees and 401 individuals expressing a desire to start a relationship with Jesus, emphasizing the importance of prayer and seeking God both privately and publicly. The pastor encouraged the congregation to engage in spiritual disciplines, stretch their faith, and regularly attend gatherings and small groups to strengthen their relationship with God.
