The Mission of the Church: Proclaiming Christ

A devotional reflection on the church’s calling to spread the gospel.

Topical

The mission of the church is to proclaim Christ to the world. Scripture teaches that the church exists to glorify God by making disciples, preaching the gospel, and serving in love.

Go ye into all the world. (Mark 16:15)

Ye shall be witnesses unto me. (Acts 1:8)

Pray… that the word of the Lord may have free course. (2 Thessalonians 3:1)

Christian Application

The mission encourages believers that God empowers and sends them with purpose. Share the gospel, support missions, and live as Christ’s witness.

Sample Prayer

Lord, use me to advance Your gospel and glorify Your name. Amen.
