In this episode of From the Heart, Pastor Erton Köhler, president of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, explores a powerful truth: Our physical presence may seem small, yet our choices reshape the world every day. In God’s hands, we were made for something greater. From the beginning, Scripture names our purpose with clarity: "Let them have dominion" (Genesis 1:26), stewardship, not status. Jesus brings the mandate close to our daily life: "You are the light of the world" (Matthew 5:14). Light is not a spectator; it enters the room and alters what it touches.
Pastor Köhler shares the powerful story of Papua New Guinea's 2024 baptism, where tens of thousands responded to the gospel across mountains, towns, and coasts. Every soul is as fully known to Jesus as if he were the only one for whom the Saviour died. God has not asked you to be famous. He asked you to be faithful. He has not asked you to be everywhere. He has asked you to be present where He has placed you. Light travels farther than height. Influence reaches deeper than space. About the series From the Heart is a weekly devotional series in which Pastor Köhler reflects on what it means to be grounded in the Bible and focused on the mission, collectively and individually. Each episode is grounded in the four pillars of the Seventh-day Adventist Church strategic plan: Communion with God, Identity in Christ, Unity through the Holy Spirit, and Mission for All.
