God calls every believer to be prepared to give an answer for the hope they have in Jesus, not just for their own assurance but for the sake of those around them who are searching for meaning and truth. This readiness is not about having all the perfect words, but about living with a heart that is eager to share the good news, trusting that God will use your willingness to reach others. When you pray for your friends, family, and coworkers, you are participating in God’s mission to bring hope and salvation to those who need it most. Let your prayers and your words be filled with faith, expecting God to move in the lives of those you love. [00:31]
1 Peter 3:15 (ESV)
"But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect."
Reflection: Who is one person in your life right now who needs hope, and how can you intentionally pray for and prepare to share your reason for hope with them this week?
The gift of salvation is not reserved for a select few, but is available to every person who calls on the name of the Lord, regardless of their background, past, or perceived worthiness. God’s promise is clear and inclusive—no one is beyond His reach, and no one is excluded from His grace. This truth should fill you with confidence, both for your own salvation and for the salvation of those you might have thought were too far gone. Let this assurance move you to pray boldly and to see every person as a potential recipient of God’s saving love. [12:40]
Romans 10:9-13 (ESV)
"Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, 'Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.' For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For 'everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'"
Reflection: Is there someone you have unconsciously written off as unreachable by God’s grace? How can you begin to see them through the lens of God’s promise that “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved”?
God’s design for spreading the gospel is simple yet profound: people come to faith by hearing the message of Christ, and they can only hear if someone is willing to speak. Every believer is called to be a messenger, not just pastors or missionaries, and your willingness to open your mouth can be the very thing that leads someone to salvation. Silence can be a barrier to someone else’s breakthrough, but when you share—even imperfectly—God uses your words to plant seeds of faith in others. [26:33]
Romans 10:14-17 (ESV)
"How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, 'How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!' But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, 'Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?' So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ."
Reflection: When was the last time you spoke about Jesus with someone who doesn’t know Him? What is one step you can take this week to intentionally share the good news with someone in your world?
It’s easy to let your beliefs become like old furniture—familiar but unused, gathering dust in the background of your life. If you don’t regularly revisit, rehearse, and share the reasons for your faith, your confidence and passion can fade, making it harder to stand firm or speak up when opportunities arise. God invites you to keep your faith sharp and ready, like a well-used sword, by continually seeking answers, studying His word, and engaging with the tough questions of your generation. [20:17]
Ephesians 6:13,17 (ESV)
"Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm... and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."
Reflection: What is one foundational truth or Bible verse you once held tightly but haven’t thought about in a while? How can you bring it back into your daily life and conversations this week?
God’s call is not just to believe, but to go—to open your mouth, to share your story, and to make disciples wherever you are. The mission is not reserved for a few; every follower of Jesus is sent with the authority and power to bring hope, freedom, and salvation to others. As you step out in faith, God promises to be with you, to fill you with boldness, and to use your life to bring in a harvest of souls. Don’t let fear or past silence hold you back; today is the day to embrace your calling and go. [31:38]
Matthew 28:18-20 (ESV)
"And Jesus came and said to them, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.'"
Reflection: What is one practical way you can step out of your comfort zone and “go” this week—whether it’s starting a spiritual conversation, inviting someone to church, or serving someone in Jesus’ name?
God is good, and following Him is the most fulfilling life we could ever live. As we begin our “Go” series, the call is clear: we are not a people who stay silent or passive, but a people on mission, eager to see our city transformed to look more like heaven. There is already a stirring in our hearts, evident in our prayers for friends, family, and colleagues who need hope, peace, and freedom. We are called to pray boldly for their salvation, believing that today—not tomorrow—is the day of breakthrough and victory.
Romans 10 reminds us that salvation is not complicated or exclusive. The word is near us, in our mouths and hearts. Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved—no exceptions, no qualifications. This is not just a theological point, but a practical call: if we believe, we must speak. There is no such thing as a silent Christian. Our faith is meant to be confessed, not just privately held. The evidence of salvation is a life that proclaims the goodness of God, not just in words but in the willingness to share hope with others.
We must ask ourselves: are we giving those around us a real opportunity to hear and believe? If we remain silent, the cycle of faith and proclamation breaks down. The challenge is not just to have faith, but to keep our faith sharp and ready—to know why we believe, to be able to answer tough questions, and to not let our convictions grow dusty or irrelevant. The world is full of questions and objections, and we are called to engage, not retreat. Silence can be mistaken for agreement or indifference, but God calls us to speak with grace and truth.
This is a season to rekindle our passion, to sharpen our understanding, and to open our mouths. God’s design is for every believer to be a messenger, a carrier of hope. As we pray and step out, we trust that God will bring a harvest—a wave of salvation among our friends and family. Let’s lay down fear, take up boldness, and go, knowing that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Romans 10:8-15 (ESV) — 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11 For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”
