   Called Out of Darkness, Sent Into the City | Ron Brown

   God did not transform alumni just so they could have a better life. He transformed them to become kingdom servants, kingdom warriors, and living signs of His power. At the Spiritual Emphasis Alumni Luncheon, Ron Brown spoke from Psalm 71 and reminded alumni that they are “miraculous signs” to many. Their lives tell the world that God still heals broken hearts, sets captives free, delivers the oppressed, and restores what others thought was finished. “You are a miraculous sign,” Ron said. He also declared, “God doesn’t do miracles just to do miracles, but He always has a purpose for a miracle.” This message looks back to the original vision of Teen Challenge in Los Angeles and looks forward to what Ron called Mission LA, a renewed call for alumni to pray, serve, and believe God for revival in the greater Los Angeles area. With millions in California still battling addiction and many never accessing help, Ron challenged alumni to ask what God may want to do through the testimony, wisdom, and spiritual authority He has placed in their lives. The call is not to abandon what God has already placed in their hands, but to listen for the prophetic invitation of Jesus. Like Peter stepping onto the water, alumni are called to keep their eyes on the Lord and move beyond comfort into mission. The application is simple: continue in Jesus, keep your life filled with praise, let your testimony show forth the splendor of God, and ask, “Lord, what is my part?” There is more to be done, more darkness to push back, and more lives waiting to see the awe and wonder of God through miraculous signs who are still standing.

   When You Come Down the Mountain | Mike Conway

   After powerful worship, preaching, and altar moments, the question becomes simple: how do we walk this out tomorrow? Mike Conway preached from Colossians 3 and gave students a practical word for coming down the mountain and returning home with clarity. Victory is not sustained by hype, human effort, or trying harder. It is sustained by a clear vision of Christ, seated at the right hand of God, and the truth that we have already been raised with Him. “There’s victory with clear vision,” Mike said. He also reminded students, “The miracle is already yours.” This message calls us to set our hearts and minds on things above. Our old desires, false beliefs, destructive patterns, and earthly attachments no longer have the final word. The old life is dead, and our lives are now hidden with Christ in God. When old thoughts, temptations, anger, lies, and desires try to rise again, we do not have to believe them or return to them. We can see them for what they are and put them to death. Mike reminded students that freedom is not merely changed behavior. It is a transformed mind, a renewed heart, and a restored identity. God is making us image bearers again, people who reflect the Creator through love, patience, forgiveness, truth, and obedience. The application is simple: keep your eyes on the throne room. Set your heart on Christ. Set your mind on what is above. Put off the old self, put on the new self, and walk out the victory Jesus has already won.

   The Power of a Testimony | Jonathan Skiles

   A transformed life is one of the clearest displays of victory in Jesus. Jonathan Skiles preached from 1 John 1 and reminded students that the Christian life is not built on theory alone. It is built on what we have seen, heard, received, and experienced through the power of Jesus Christ. Our testimony becomes evidence that the gospel is still the power of God unto salvation. Jonathan connected 1 Corinthians 15:57 with Revelation 12:11, showing that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. The testimony does not exist apart from the blood of Jesus. It is the blood of Christ that saves, cleanses, heals, restores, and gives us something worth declaring. “We don’t have a testimony without the blood of Jesus,” Jonathan said. He also declared, “The power that saved me is the power that keeps me.” Through personal stories of salvation, healing, prison ministry, and God’s faithfulness in moments of great need, this message reminds us that Jesus is not weak, distant, or limited. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His power still saves. His power still heals. His power still delivers. His power still gives people a testimony that can be shared with the world. The application is simple: give God thanks for the testimony He is writing in your life. Believe Him for the victory you have not yet seen. Finish the course He has placed before you. And as God continues to disciple, heal, and strengthen you, carry your testimony into a world that is still bound, still hurting, and still in need of Jesus.
