02/07/2026 Gathering

Introduction of special guest: Dana Molla, founder of Bethesda House, an orphanage in Albania. Dana has been called by the LORD to intercede and pray for America. After years of obedience in prayer, The LORD called her to leave her home in Albania and move to South Jersey - on a prayer assignment. Dana has many "firsts" in Albania: including being the first female businesswoman in her hometown, first female driver in her hometown, first female to start a church in her home, and first to open a Christian children's home in all of Albania. She shares this to emphasize the grace of God and to glorify Him alone.

Quick Summary:

Dana shared a powerful message emphasizing the spiritual journey of crucifying the flesh and living by faith in Christ, based on Galatians 2:20. She highlighted the necessity of self-denial, sacrifice, and daily transformation to allow Christ to live and work actively through believers. Dana encouraged the congregation to surrender worldly desires, embrace suffering and testing as part of faith, and live a life marked by genuine obedience rather than material gain. She also shared her calling to intercede in prayer for America and other nations, urging believers to seek deeper relationship with God, support one another, and commit fully to Christ’s transformative power. The message inspired attendees to reflect, renew their faith, and engage in prayer and ministry with renewed dedication.

The Crucified Life

• Dana focused on Galatians 2:20 and related scriptures (Philippians 3:7, Galatians 6:14, John 12:24, 2 Corinthians 3:18, Romans 1:17).

• The Christian calling is to live a crucified life, dying to self so Christ can live through the believer.

• True faith leads to transformation, self-denial, consecration, and a life of service. - The importance of allowing the Holy Spirit to crucify the flesh, not just intellectually accepting the cross. -

• Dana offered personal testimonies and biblical examples (Moses, Paul) to illustrate the journey from faith, through death to self, into glory and transformation.

• Dana warned against superficial Christianity: the danger of never dying to self, resulting in a lack of spiritual fruit. "You cannot do much in life unless you allow your flesh to be crucified with Christ."

• Encouragement to see everything as belonging to God, be good stewards, and let go of ownership mentality over people and possessions.

• "Self-denial: We deny our own will, our own desires... and trade everything for Christ."

• "The seed must die in order to give fruit." - "There is no resurrection without death."

• "The world has been crucified to me, and I to the world." (Galatians 6:14) - "A life of faith is a dynamic faith, a non-stagnant spiritual life. "True faith, real faith, is not just faith that you say, but a faith that transforms."

• "We have to be careful what we worship and give attention to more than God."

• "It's a choice we make with free will."

Church Leadership Reflections and Exhortation - Pastor Garth emphasized the seriousness and holiness of the moment, urging the congregation to make personal application of the message at home. He encouraged the church to discern between correction by the Holy Spirit and accusations by the enemy. He gave a call for true transformation, not just religious activity, and to avoid compartmentalizing faith. He reminded the church of the need for humility, unity, and continual self-examination.

Action Plans - Individuals encouraged to reflect and act on areas needing surrender and transformation.

Questions - How can one practically live out the crucified life daily? What does it mean to die to self in modern contexts? How do we discern when our faith is superficial versus transformative? How do we effectively support and steward what God entrusts to us? Do you want deep understanding to these questions --- Watch the full message on YouTube!

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Galatians 2:20
