09-15-2025 PART 2: Fellowship on the Hill and Daily Devotion

Section 1

Eric called in to share a testimony of his recent trip to Athens, where he went with one simple goal: to sit on Mars Hill, where Paul once preached, and read Acts 17 aloud. Though he intended it for himself, God used it to reach others. As Eric read, a couple nearby noticed and were moved, telling him how beautiful it was to hear the Word spoken there. He then read the passage again with them, creating a powerful moment of fellowship—communion without bread or wine, but rich in unity through Christ. This showed how God often takes our personal devotion and multiplies it into ministry that blesses others.

Section 2

Reflecting on this, the message emphasized that such experiences are not coincidences but orchestrated by the Lord. Just as Paul once looked out at temples and idols, Eric looked out at ruins now replaced with crosses—reminders of Christ’s lasting kingdom. These encounters affirm that God draws His children into deeper communion, creating powerful memories that testify to His presence. Believers are called to bring praise reports and testimonies, not for their own spotlight, but because it glorifies God. As Isaiah 43:7 teaches, we were created for His glory, and as Romans 8:14 reminds us, those led by His Spirit are His children.

Section 3

The teaching then circled back to the ministry’s DNA: D for drawing closer to the Lord daily, N for never being ashamed of Jesus or His words, and A for always being ready to serve. Jesus Himself modeled cutting away distractions to spend time with the Father, showing us the necessity of daily fellowship. In a culture hostile to the gospel, Christians must stand bold, unashamed, and grounded in truth. Service flows from this posture, remembering that faith is not a solo act but a shared journey. Together, believers are to live out love, testify of Christ, and keep eternity in view—knowing their names are on His list and their destiny is forever with Him.
