LOVE THE NATIONS | Why We Love The Nations | Revelation 7:9 | Drew Land | 6.7.2026

In this message, I’m sharing why loving the nations is not just a church theme or a missions emphasis. It is the heart of God from beginning to end. Revelation 7 gives us a picture of the final scene: every tribe, every tongue, every people, and every nation standing before the throne of Jesus. I talk about growing up around different cultures, how God used worship in other languages to shape my heart, and why missions matters until every people group has heard the gospel. If heaven will be filled with every nation, then our lives should be shaped by that reality now. My prayer is that this message helps you ask a deeper question: God, what role do You want me to play in reaching the nations? Whether you go, send, pray, give, host, translate, or use the gifts already in your hands, every believer has a part to play.
