This coming Sunday, we will be continuing our sermon series on what it means for a Christian to Love God and Love Neighbor "with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength". This week, we speak of loving God with our whole strength.
In our verses from Matthew 10, we read the story of Jesus sending His disciples out for a practice run in their own training. They are limited in their scope, limited to the proclamation of their moment, and the miraculous healing powers that Jesus has expressed.
In their time, the disciples were given the Holy Spirit that Jesus Himself would indwell them when they stood against the world. It was a promise given to them and one that continues to be given to us as we, too, seek to follow in their footsteps to do the work of Jesus here on the earth.
Peace,
Pastor Pete
