Day 26 | You are Loved, You are Sent

Scripture: Romans 10:14-15

Devotion

“You are loved, and you are sent.” These words aren’t just a weekly reminder—they’re the heartbeat of our mission. God who could have chosen any means to spread His message, but He chose to use us. Not because we’re qualified, but because He delights in using ordinary people to share His extraordinary news.

Remember the last time you received exciting news—maybe a job promotion, an engagement, or an answered prayer. That bubbling excitement, that urgent need to share with someone… that’s just a glimpse of how we should feel about the gospel. But this news is infinitely better: the Creator of the universe has made a way for humanity to be reconciled to Him through Jesus Christ!

This is why church multiplication isn’t just a good strategy—it’s God’s primary plan for spreading the good news. Every new church becomes a hub of gospel conversations, a launching pad for missionaries, and a community of believers passionate about sharing this life-changing message. Think about it: more churches mean more people sharing their faith in their neighborhoods, more missionaries being sent to unreached areas, more lives being transformed by the gospel. This multiplication of churches and disciples isn’t our backup plan—it’s God’s chosen method for reaching the world with the beautiful message of salvation.

A Personal Prayer
