Guest preacher Tim Cole from Waypoint Church Partners shares a powerful message on why church planting matters—not just statistically, but biblically.

Many ask, “Don’t we already have enough churches?” With over 350,000 churches in America, it’s a fair question. But Tim reminds us that by 2055, half of all people attending church will be in churches that don’t even exist yet. If we fail to plant, we fail to reach the next generation.

Drawing from Genesis 1, Tim unpacks the biblical principle of lə·mî·nōw—that every living thing reproduces “according to its kind.” Just as living things reproduce, disciples make disciples, and churches plant churches. This is God’s design for multiplication and mission.

📖 Scripture References: Genesis 1, Matthew 28:16-20 (The Great Commission)

Tim challenges us to move beyond passive church attendance and embrace our calling as disciples who reproduce disciples. Whether through serving, joining a group, or planting new works, each of us has a role in God’s plan to grow His kingdom.
