A CHURCH WITHOUT BORDERS

Scripture

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus." — Galatians 3:28

Message

The Kingdom of God is bigger than our culture, nationality, language, denomination, or local congregation. Christ is building one Church from every tribe, people, and nation.

We must never allow earthly differences to become barriers to Kingdom relationships. The Great Commission is global, and the heart of God is for every people group to hear the Gospel.

When we see believers from other nations as brothers and sisters, our perspective changes. We begin to pray beyond our borders. We become concerned about souls beyond our communities and willing to participate in what God is doing around the world.

Let your heart become as wide as God's mission. Pray for the nations. Support Kingdom work. Welcome people who are different from you. Carry the Gospel beyond familiar boundaries.

Golden Nugget

God's Kingdom has no borders, and neither should our love for the nations.

Prayer

Lord, enlarge my heart for the nations. Remove every limitation that keeps me from seeing people through Your eyes. Give me love for every tribe, culture, language, and nation. Teach me how to pray, give, serve, and go so that the Gospel of Jesus Christ may reach the ends of the earth.

In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.
