"He is a God of many dimensions, while we see in only one. Our flat minds trace His edges, but never His fullness. So He speaks beyond our sight— Spirit to spirit— and only the Spirit teaches us how to hear Him." #TheGospelTrail at pgn.church

Part II of The Most Important Question Ever Asked

History has recorded the rise and fall of empires...

Philosophers have asked deep questions…

Scientists have probed the universe…

But no question has ever shaken earth and eternity like the one Jesus asked in Caesarea Philippi.---

Our mission as ministers is to engage in deep, meaningful growth through biblical discipleship that equips and empowers believers for impactful Christian living. Faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ Romans 10:17#Disciple #⁠Christianpodcast⁠ #⁠churchgrowth ⁠#⁠Jesusteachings⁠ #⁠worship #FaithRevival #GodsMovement #ChristianRevolution #DivineAwakening #PureGospelNetwork #TheGospelTrail Website: is pgn.church⁠

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ! As followers of the risen Savior, we are not called to keep the light of the Gospel hidden within the comfort of our church walls. Jesus Himself commissioned us: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19). The Great Commission is not a suggestion—it’s our marching orders! The world outside these four walls is full of people longing for hope, truth, and the transforming power of the Good News. Now is the time for our church to rise up, step out in faith, and carry the message of salvation to those who need it most.

One beautiful way we can do this together is by reaching those who are often overlooked: our shut-ins, those unable to attend our gatherings due to health, mobility, distance, or other circumstances. These precious souls are part of the body of Christ, and they deserve to hear and experience the life-giving Word just as much as anyone.

We have an exciting opportunity to extend the ministry of our church right into their homes. Please help us spread the Good News by sharing our new video series with someone you know who fits this description—a friend, family member, neighbor, or loved one who can’t join us in person but whose heart is open to God’s truth.

Our weekly Bible study series, The Gospel Trail, is designed to walk through the transformative message of the Gospel in a fresh, engaging way—exploring the path Jesus walked, the truths He taught, and the hope He offers to all. The very first episode of a new series will be released and published next Thursday!

Imagine the joy of someone isolated or far away discovering (or rediscovering) the wonders of God’s grace through these teachings. Your simple act of sharing could be the spark that reignites their faith, draws them closer to Jesus, and even connects them to our ongoing weekly Bible Study community.

Would you prayerfully consider these steps today?

1. Think of one (or more) people in your life who might be encouraged, comforted, or challenged by this series.

2. Share the video link with them personally—perhaps through a text, email, phone call, or social media message—with a warm note from your heart.

3. Pray earnestly that the Holy Spirit would soften their hearts, incline them toward the truth, and lead them to join us as we journey together on The Gospel Trail.

Let us be a church that refuses to stay comfortable inside our buildings. Let us be a people who passionately proclaim the Good News beyond our doors—starting with those closest to us who are waiting to hear it. The Great Commission can start with a Text: Share The Gospel Trail today.

May the Lord multiply our efforts as we obey His call. To Him be the glory!

In His service and love,

Rev. Kevin Raihala

Mark Chapter 5 : 21-43 Jesus Heals in Response to Faith 😂

Church, I want you to see something today that is easy to miss if you read this passage too quickly. These are not just miracle stories. These are revelations of the heart of God.

Jesus steps out of the boat, and immediately the crowd gathers. They always do. Wherever Jesus is, need shows up. Broken bodies. Broken families. Broken hope. Jesus Heals them all!

“My prayer each day is: ‘Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow.’” Psalm 25:4 (NLT)

Pray. Pray. Pray.

Church, hear me with an open heart.

We are standing at the edge of new days. One season is closing behind us, and another is stepping toward us. Some of you feel anticipation. Some feel hope. Some feel unease you can’t quite put into words. That’s not accidental. That’s discernment stirring.

And in the midst of it all, the Spirit of the Lord is speaking. Not with confusion. Not with complexity. But with clarity.

God says: Pray. Pray. Pray.

Rev. Kevin Raihala

Church, if there has ever been a time when we needed to re-center our lives on Christ, it is now. The world is loud… distractions are many… and our hearts can drift without us even noticing. The believers in Colossae faced the same challenge. False teachings, cultural pressure, and spiritual confusion surrounded them.

How Does This Fit into the Debate? Are YOU saved? Will I see you in Heaven?

1. What shows that someone has been born anew?

A transformed relationship with God. The Bible describes new birth as something that changes desires, behavior, and direction. This inner change is the evidence, not the outward step.

2. Does the altar call save anyone?

No. The altar call is not the source of salvation. Christ is. Faith is the channel. An altar call is simply a setting where someone acknowledges what Christ is doing in them.

3. How does this address the Lutheran concern about grace?

It shows that the altar call is not a work. The act does not produce salvation. Grace produces salvation. The altar call just reveals someone’s response to grace already moving inside them.

4. Where does this align with the teachings of Jesus?

Jesus often called people publicly, but the call was not the saving event. The saving event was meeting Him, trusting Him, and following Him. The outward step simply made that inner faith visible.

5. Why is this important for the debate?

It separates symbol from substance.

– Substance: Christ saves by grace through faith.

– Symbol: A person steps forward to confess or acknowledge what Christ is doing.

That distinction removes the charge of “works” and keeps the focus where it belongs: on grace, faith, and the living relationship that follows.

Are YOU born anew?

When someone is “born anew,” the true evidence is a living relationship with God, not the physical act of responding to an altar call. New birth produces a change in desire, direction, and behavior that shows Christ’s grace at work in the heart. “An altar call may introduce a person to the message of Christ, but it does not save them. It simply points them to the person of Christ, and He is the one who saves.” Salvation comes through grace received by faith, and the outward step simply reveals what is already happening inwardly. This removes the idea that an altar call is a work that competes with grace. It keeps the focus on Christ as the source of salvation and on the transformed life that follows as the sign of genuine new birth.
