Multiply Church

The greatest gift anyone has ever received isn't something you keep to yourself. It's the ultimate re-gift - one that's meant to be shared, passed on, and multiplied. This gift is the gospel of Jesus Christ, and understanding our responsibility to invest it in others is crucial for every believer. What Does It Mean to Be Entrusted with the Gospel? When we receive salvation through Jesus Christ, we're not just getting a ticket to heaven. We're being entrusted with the most powerful message in human history. The gospel isn't like a Christmas present that gets worn out and set aside - it's a living truth that should transform our lives and flow through us to others.

Just as a nursing mother cares for her children, so we cared for you because we loved you so much... For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives w...

In times of tragedy and loss, we're reminded of life's fragility and the spiritual battles we face daily. When we witness suffering in our communities, it's natural to feel heartbroken and even angry at the enemy who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy. Yet these moments also call us back to fundamental questions about our faith and relationship with God. The Reality of Spiritual Warfare We have a real enemy who works through deception and isolation. Satan's purpose remains unchanged: to kill, steal, and destroy. He doesn't care about you personally - he hates God and wants to take you out along with your family. There's nothing he won't do to accomplish this goal. One of his most effective strategies involves getting you confused about what's true and right, then isolating you where nobody can remind you of the truth. If you're feeling like your life isn't worthwhile, that people would be better off without you, or that you're just a burden - ...
