What if the moment God spoke to you was never meant to remain only a memory?

In today’s powerful message, “There’s More Than a Moment—There’s a Movement in You,” guest speaker and AGWM missionary David Turner challenges us to recognize that a single encounter with God can become the beginning of a life-changing movement. God gives us defining moments, but moving forward requires obedience, faith, trust, sacrifice, perseverance, and the willingness to release the past.

Drawing from Exodus 3:1–4, David examines Moses’ encounter with God at the burning bush. God spoke only after Moses intentionally turned aside to look. In the same way, we must make room in our lives to recognize what the Holy Spirit is saying. Even after years in the wilderness, God’s calling on Moses had not expired.

Through the examples of Moses, Joshua, Hannah, Samuel, the feeding of the multitude, and powerful testimonies from Guatemala, we are reminded that God often births movements through ordinary people who surrender what they have to Him. A moment with God can restore a forgotten calling, break the power of addiction, heal emotional wounds, open previously closed communities to the gospel, and bring hope, healing, and freedom through Jesus Christ.

David and Marie Turner also share how God is working through their ministry in Guatemala, including pastoral biblical counseling, addiction recovery, Teen Challenge ministries, Living Free small groups, leadership development, and Casa Tavita—Tabitha’s House, a place of restoration for women overcoming addiction, abuse, and trauma.

Perhaps God spoke something into your heart years ago, but life happened. Pain, disappointment, church hurt, loss, fear, or delay may have pushed that calling to the background. This message reminds us that what God placed within you is not forgotten. Your wilderness season may not be the end of the story—it may be where God prepares you for what comes next.
