Text: Matthew 28:18-20
When the church sees itself as the mission, growth often happens through addition—one person at a time, one program at a time. But when the church embraces God’s mission as its purpose, multiplication takes place. The early church in Acts grew exponentially, not because they focused on growing a church, but because they prioritized spreading the Gospel. When the mission drives the church, God’s power fuels multiplication, leading to disciples making disciples and churches planting churches.
