God Brings the Growth
Have you ever felt like evangelism is just too much? Too hard? Like the whole thing depends on you—and you’re already tired?
You're not alone in that. And thankfully, you're not meant to do it all.
1 Corinthians 3:7 reminds us: “So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.”
This verse lifts the pressure off our shoulders. It’s not all up to you.
God is the one who brings growth. That’s His role. Ours is simply to take small, faithful steps—planting seeds of truth, kindness, encouragement, or prayer—and trusting God to do what only He can do.
And here’s something beautiful: we don’t do this in isolation. Evangelism isn’t a solo act—it’s a shared mission. Across the world, in neighbourhoods and cities, believers are living this out together. You might plant, someone else might water, but God is the one who moves hearts.
So what could that look like for you today? It could be sending a message to a friend, offering to pray for someone, inviting them to church, or opening up about how Jesus has changed your life. Simple, faithful actions that God can use in powerful ways.
Take the pressure off. You don’t need to do everything—just do something. You’re not alone, and the outcome isn’t on you.
You plant. Someone else waters.
God brings the growth.

Good news changes everything.
But none of those moments, as incredible as they are, even come close to the truth delivered on the first Easter morning:
"He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay."
Matthew 28:6 (NIV)
Jesus had been crucified publicly, brutally, and officially. He was wrapped, sealed in a tomb. There was no question. Jesus was dead. It was true.
But when His followers Mary and Mary Magdalene arrived to grieve? The stone was rolled away. The tomb was empty. And an angel met them with the most stunning announcement in human history.
But the angel doesn’t just tell the women the truth. He invites them to look for themselves. To step inside. To experience the...
