The past seven years have been full of crises and unprecedented change. How did we, as Seventh-day Adventists, manage to keep our eyes on the mission? By keeping our eyes on Jesus, by focusing on the blessed hope of His soon return, and by being His hands and feet in our local communities we managed to rise above the challenges and recommit ourselves to our special calling. As we gather together at the 61st #GCSession in St.Louis, Missouri, we pause to reflect on how we have arrived here and what makes this Session so unique. After having to be postponed, having to move venues, and balance ongoing Covid-19 restrictions, God has allowed us to meet using a hybrid model and taking advantage of our digital space by introducing Virtual Exhibit Halls. Be inspired as you hear the story of Dr.Anthony Kent and Dr.Torben Berglund, two men who felt the calling to go above and beyond to reach the world. They decided to join the “I Will Ride” movement and spread the message of hope, healing, and freedom found in Jesus as they rode their bikes more than 1,000 miles from Washington, D.C. to St.Louis, MO. Tune in to ANN to see how God has not only inspired us, but empowered us to finish His end-time work. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBr_1g2JdcA

Don’t you wish we had a YouTube video clip of Jesus praying? In Luke Chapter 11, in response to His disciples asking Him to teach them to pray, Jesus gave them the Lord’s Prayer. Immediately after this, He continues to teach them the lesson of persistent prayer. What would happen if we petitioned God for the Holy Spirit daily? What if we were daily baptized with the Holy Spirit? How different would our lives look? Given the tragic shape our world is in this morning, isn’t it high time God’s people display some of this “shameless audacity” Jesus calls for?
Listen in as Pastor Dwight Nelson encourages us to seek the presence of the Holy Spirit, not just during special occasions, but as a regular practice in his message titled, “Shameless Audacity.” The Seventh-day Adventist Church has been an established denomination since 1863. It is a global Christian family with over 21 million members who hold the Bible as the ultimate authority. We are believers who promise to help people understand the Bible and find freedom, healing, and hope in Jesus. Want to learn more about the Seventh-day Adventist Church?

We’ve waited seven years for the 61st General Conference Session, moved venues, and even moved cities. Originally scheduled to be held in Indianapolis in 2020, GC Session was postponed twice due to the coronavirus pandemic and relocated due to availability. How did we get here? What other unique circumstances have played a part in our church history, and how have our GC Sessions changed over the years? Tune into ANN for a brief overview of GC Session history and planning.
