In Luke chapter 10, the Lord appointed seventy disciples and sent them ahead of Him into the places He would soon visit. We don’t know their names, and Scripture is mostly silent about what became of them afterward, but the lessons from their mission are clear and searching.

In this episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett looks at the Lord’s instructions to these men and what they teach us about gospel labor, the reality of opposition, and the present power of the Kingdom of God. The harvest is still great. Laborers are still few. And while the seventy returned rejoicing in what they were able to do, Jesus pointed them to a far greater joy, that their names were written in heaven.

Join us as we consider these enduring lessons from the seventy in Luke 10:1–20.
