Luke 10:3-9
- Jesus told the disciples to go as lambs in the midst of wolves. That sounds very dangerous. Lambs are helpless and defenseless. Wolves are vicious and lethal. How does God provide us with what we need to go out into the world according to these verses? 1 Corinthians 10:4, Hebrews 4:12, II Peter 3:9, Acts 4:29-31.
- What instructions were given and what were the disciples to do about their physical needs? Why do you think Jesus told them to do this? Why does making sure we have these basic needs met sometimes cause us to become anxious?
- How does Jesus define a person of peace? What are some characteristics of a person of peace? Why are the disciples told to look for persons of peace?
- Verse 9 tells us that their assignment was to heal the sick and to tell them,"The kingdom of God is near you." What is included in this message? How prepared are you to share the kingdom news with others?
- What are some positive baby steps that we can take to prepare ourselves knowing that we are defenseless lambs, to learn to trust God more, to equip us to share the Good News with others?
Living it Out:
- What is an interest or hobby you've always wanted to pursue? Get started. In the process, start building relationships with some of the new people you meet.
- Strike up a conversation with a stranger.
- Who are the people of peace in your sphere of influence? Find a way to bless three of them this week.
- Begin planning a party for week 5. This party/event should be a connection point for family members and friends who are in need of the gospel.
