WEEK 4 DAY 3
Mission Begins at Home
Devotional
Often we think of mission work as something that happens in far-off places, but our first mission field is right at home. Our marriages, our parenting, our daily interactions with family - these are holy grounds for discipleship. When we intentionally point our spouses toward Jesus, when we share our faith journey with our children, we're engaging in vital kingdom work. Our homes become training grounds where faith is caught as much as it is taught, where our lives overflow with the truth and love of Christ.
Bible Verse
'Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.' - Matthew 28:19-20
Reflection Question
How can you be more intentional about making discipleship a natural part of your family life?
Quote
Your children are discipled by you from the overflow of your own life. They're discipled by the overflow. As you read God's word, as you have conversations, as you talk to them about the things that you learn, the things that you experience, that is what disciples your kids.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me to see my home as a mission field. Guide me in creating an environment where faith can flourish and where Your love is evident in our daily interactions. Make me mindful of the impact my life has on those closest to me. Amen.
