In 2026, our church is being invited to seek “more”—more of God’s presence, more spiritual depth, and more growth in what truly matters to God in our lives and ministry to the community and the nations. To seek for more is to align with God’s desire to reveal Himself more fully to those who seek Him wholeheartedly (Jeremiah 29:13).

All of us are already seeking more – more success, more time, more security. The question: are we just hungry for what the world offers or are we also hungry for more of God?

Check what you’re hungry for

It’s easy to hunger for things that are temporary and within our control. But what if our hunger is directed towards God, towards knowing Him more deeply, being transformed from within and living a life that makes an eternal difference? When what we hunger for shifts, everything else begins to fall into its rightful place.

Don’t just hear. Truly listen and respond

Jesus shows us that growth depends on how we receive His Word. He talks about different kinds of soil in the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:1-23). The key difference is not the seed but the heart that receives it.

It is possible to attend services, read the Bible and hear sermons regularly, yet not truly listen. Real growth happens when we intentionally pay attention to God’s voice and respond in obedience. When that happens, our lives are transformed and that change becomes visible, like a tree bearing fruit. A life shaped by God will naturally reflect Him to others, like a light in the darkness.

Use what God has already given you

Many of us are waiting for “more”– more clarity, more confidence, more gifting – before we step out. However, through the parables of the talents and the minas, Jesus reminds us that God is the starting point. He is the one who gives.

Each servant was entrusted with something and what mattered was not how much they received, but what they did with it. Some multiplied what was given, while others hid it. The call is clear: We have each been given different talents and resources, but it is a trust from God and is meant to be used.

Each person plays a part in building up the church and serving others. When we use our gifts faithfully in ministry, it will grow and multiply. Often, as we step out, God provides even more such as new and complementary gifts to accomplish the work He calls us to do.

Seeking “more” is not about waiting for something new, but stewarding what we have already been given. We are accountable to God for how we have used what He has entrusted to us. May we be a people who seek more, not for ourselves, but for His glory.
