August 3, 2025–Called To Go: Go Therefore

Key Verse:

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…”

— Matthew 28:19

Rooted Truth:

The Great Commission wasn’t just for missionaries—it’s for every believer, every day.

Faith Story:

Jim Elliot, missionary to the Waorani people of Ecuador, gave his life to bring the gospel to those who had never heard. Though he was killed at age 28, his legacy lives on through the words he once wrote:

“He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.”

Jim didn’t wait until the conditions were perfect or the risks were gone. He believed that going was a command, not a suggestion. His life reminds us: obedience to the gospel is always worth it.

Scripture for Deeper Roots:

Acts 1:8 – “…you will be my witnesses… to the end of the earth.”

Romans 10:14–15 – “How can they hear without someone preaching?”

Isaiah 6:8 – “Here I am! Send me.”

Daily Practice:

Ask God to open your eyes to someone near you who needs to hear or see the love of Jesus today. Speak encouragement. Start a conversation. Take one step toward them.

Daily Prayer:

Jesus, You didn’t just come to save me—you came to send me. Give me courage to go, boldness to speak, and love that reflects Your heart. Let me carry Your name well today. Amen.

Deep Reflection:

What holds you back from sharing your faith more boldly?

Who in your life may never hear about Jesus unless you speak up?

What does obedience to the Great Commission look like in your current season?
