The Great Commission

Episode 3: Signs and Wonders

A Church with Worship

It was another glorious Sunday morning at House of Grace. The chairs were no longer empty—the small church was growing. People from different backgrounds came with expectation, knowing that God was moving in this place.

David stood at the front with a smile on his face. Today was special because, for the first time, the church had singers. A small group of five young men and women had volunteered to lead worship. They stood together, holding microphones, their hearts ready to sing for the Lord.

The Worship Begins

As David stepped onto the altar, he lifted his hands and spoke with joy.

📖 "Brothers and sisters, before we hear the Word, let us worship our King! The Bible says in Psalm 95:1—‘Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation!’"

The worship team began to sing, their voices blending in harmony.

🎶 "You are Alpha and Omega, we worship You, our Lord, You are worthy to be praised!" 🎶

🎶 "What shall I render to Jehovah, for He has done so very much for me?" 🎶

The church came alive. Some lifted their hands, others knelt, and a few wept in God’s presence. The power of worship filled the atmosphere.

David took the microphone, closed his eyes, and declared:

📖 "Lord, let Your presence dwell among us today! Let every chain be broken! Let every heart be restored in Jesus' name!"

David’s Preaching

After the powerful worship, David opened his Bible and began to preach.

📖 "Brothers and sisters, today we are reading from Mark 10:46-52, the story of Blind Bartimaeus. The Bible says that Bartimaeus was sitting by the roadside, begging, but when he heard that Jesus was passing by, he shouted, ‘Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!’"

David paused and looked at the congregation.

📖 "Some of you here today are like Bartimaeus. You have been waiting for a miracle. You have been waiting for a breakthrough. But I tell you today, your miracle is coming! Do not be silent! Cry out to Jesus, and He will answer you!"

The crowd responded with ‘Amen!’

📖 "Jesus told Bartimaeus, ‘Your faith has healed you.’ And immediately, Bartimaeus received his sight! I declare to you today—if you have faith, you will see the hand of God move in your life!"

Testimony Time

David then invited people to share their testimonies.

🔹 A young woman came forward, smiling.

📖 "Praise the Lord! Last week, I came here with no job. Pastor David prayed for me, and this week, I got a new job! God is faithful!"

🔹 An elderly man stepped forward.

📖 "For many years, I could not sleep well at night because of sickness. But after last Sunday’s prayer, I have slept peacefully every night! Jesus has healed me!"

The church clapped and praised God as more people testified of God’s goodness.

Healing a Blind Man

As the testimonies ended, a woman walked into the church, leading an elderly blind man by the hand.

📖 "Pastor, this is my father. He has been blind for many years. We heard that miracles are happening here. Please, pray for him!"

The church fell silent. Everyone watched as David stepped forward with confidence.

📖 "Sir, do you believe that Jesus can heal you?"

The old man nodded. "Yes, I believe!"

David placed his hands on the man’s eyes and prayed with power.

🙏 "Father, in the name of Jesus, I command these blind eyes to open! Let Your healing power flow! In Jesus' name, receive your sight!"

The church shouted "Amen!"

For a moment, nothing happened. Then suddenly, the old man staggered back, blinking.

📖 "I can see!" he cried out. "I CAN SEE!"

The church erupted in praise! Some people fell to their knees, crying. Others jumped and clapped, celebrating the power of God.

David lifted his hands and declared:

📖 "Our God is still a God of miracles! What He has done for this man, He can do for you!"

Offering Time

After the miracles, David announced:

📖 "Now, let us give our offerings to the Lord with a joyful heart!"

The ushers passed around baskets, and the people gave generously. Afterward, David lifted the offering and prayed.

🙏 "Lord, bless every hand that has given today. Multiply their finances. Open doors for them. Let them never lack in Jesus' name. Amen!"

Sharing the Grace

As the service came to an end, David led the congregation in the grace.

📖 "May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us now and forevermore. Amen!"

The people responded "Amen!"

David Announces a Program for Tomorrow

Before dismissing the people, David picked up the microphone and announced:

📖 "Before you leave, I have an important announcement. Tomorrow, we are having a special program—A Night of Worship and Deliverance! If you need healing, if you need freedom, if you need a fresh encounter with God, do not miss it! Come and invite others!"

The church clapped and cheered.

David smiled, knowing that this was just the beginning of something great.
