Main Thought
God made us to multiply. The first command God issued to humanity was the Creation Mandate. It was a command to multiply people - and, to multiply the goodness of God through people. The Great Commission makes it clear that God made disciples to multiply. Followers of Jesus are called to teach new believers how to help others follow Him. When disciples multiply, communities of disciples multiply. God’s desire is that we would multiply sites and churches. Every Nation Church Las Vegas is taking that step in faith. Every Nation Church Las Vegas is launching a new site in south Las Vegas in early 2026! Our goal is to reach a new group of people with the gospel. Growth like this is fueled by generosity. We can give generously of our time, gifts, skills, passions, and finances. We give as a response to God, who first gave generously to us. He multiplied His grace, goodness, and blessings to us. It’s time to prepare for multiplication: as individuals, families, Life Groups, ministries and as a church.
