When Jesus sent the 12, and when he sent the other 72, what were his instructions?  What do we learn about faith and evangelism through these passages? 

Jesus can heal.  Jesus can raise the dead.  Jesus can transform lives.  Faith activates God's action.  Faith brings life-change.  For what do you need to trust God today?

Who is our most precious family? Sometimes, it isn't our flesh and blood; it's those most invested in our lives.  How does faith transform us? That depends on who you trust. 

As Christians, we are called to plant the seeds and send the light of the Gospel, how do we do that?  How much fruit can we bear?

Women played a key role in the ministry of Jesus and in the early church. If you are a woman, be a woman of influence in your service and support of the Gospel. 

Some were curious as to whether Jesus was actually the Christ.  His actions and His words proved Him such.  John and Jesus had vastly different approaches, but the same message pointing people to the same truth - the Kingdom of God is at hand in Jesus, Repent and turn to Jesus.

God looks at the hearts of people.  He responds with compassion to hearts of faith rooted in humility.

Jesus' life and teaching was so vastly different than what the people were used to.  What did Jesus do and what did Jesus say that we need to learn from and implement in our own lives?  Do we, as modern Christians, measure up to the standard both exemplified and taught by Jesus?

Sometimes, our religious practices get in the way of righteous, compassionate living.  Don't let your religion get in the way of living righteously, joyfully, or compassionately.

Within the calling of Levi the tax collector, we realize a key evangelistic and disciplemaking principle that we should work in our already existing relational streams.  How much more could be accomplished if more of us reached-out with the Gospel to people we already know?
