READ
1 CORINTHIANS 15:7–11
Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
REFLECT
The grace and mercy of God sparked Paul’s life of faith and missionary action. He explains how it’s because of God’s grace that he is who he is, an Apostle sent to preach to the world. Paul’s missionary journey began with a supernatural restart of his heart.
APPLY
Q: Why did Paul work so hard at preaching and sharing the Gospel?
Q: How did God supernaturally restart your heart?
Q: The world needs the Gospel. It needs you to shine the light of Christ. Where is God calling you to preach?
SING
“Won’t Stop Now” by Elevation Worship
PRAY
"May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven."
Lord, you have shown me so much mercy and grace. Help me to reflect on you to my family, friends, and coworkers every day. I know your Kingdom will be here in its fullness one day, and in the meantime use me for your glory. Amen.
