New Year Conference 2025
We are living in an epoch-defining moment, especially when viewed through the lens of the Spirit and the Word. Amid the geo-politics, end-time prophecies, and competing voices, it’s crucial to focus on what the Spirit is saying. What is the Lord’s attention on? That should be our focus.
Scripture reveals His primary concern is His covenant people—Israel and the Church. Of the promised land, it says, “a land that the LORD your God cares for. The eyes of the LORD your God are always upon it…” (Deut 11:12). Regarding Zion, the Lord declares: “Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.” (Is 49:16). If He does not ignore His land, neither should we.
So, what is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob saying about Israel and the Church now? This is the focus of our conference. Both the Jewish people and the Church need to awaken spiritually to today’s realities. Anti-Semitism is pressuring Jewish communities to consider returning to their homeland. Meanwhile, as anti-Christian ideologies rise in the West, the Church must awaken and ‘grow up’ into Christ, the head (Eph 4:15).
The Church and Israel share parallel priorities: wake up, go up, and grow up. These themes guide our 2025 New Year conference.
