Sending the 72

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the joy and purpose found in being sent by God. The story of Jesus sending out the 72 disciples in Luke 10 serves as a profound example of how we're all called to be bearers of God's peace and messengers of His kingdom. Just as these disciples were sent out with minimal provisions, we too are encouraged to trust in God's provision as we step out in faith. The message challenges us to find 'people of peace' in our daily lives - those who are open to hearing about God's love. It's a reminder that our mission field isn't always far away; it could be our workplace, our neighborhood, or even the grocery store. While we may face rejection, just as the disciples did, our joy doesn't come from our successes or failures, but from knowing our names are written in heaven. This perspective shift invites us to see our daily interactions as divine appointments, filled with potential for kingdom impact.
