sent in mission, part 1

Good evening friends,
This weekend we'll be reading about Jesus' "Great Commission" to his disciples after he rose from the dead. To get us thinking about their mission and our mission we're going to take a look a a couple examples of earlier commissions from Jesus. In our passage for today, Jesus gives his disciples power and sends them out to heal and preach the good news of God's kingdom. That's still a core piece of the church's mission today. How can you live that out in your life this week?

God bless,
Sam




Luke 9:1-6
Then Jesus called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, 2and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal. 3He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money—not even an extra tunic. 4Whatever house you enter, stay there, and leave from there. 5Wherever they do not welcome you, as you are leaving that town shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.” 6They departed and went through the villages, bringing the good news and curing diseases everywhere.
