Who are you trusting to lead your life? In Luke 9, Jesus sends His disciples on mission, contrasts His kingdom with the kingdoms of this world, and reveals Himself as the True Shepherd who provides for His people. While earthly leaders often pursue power, status, and self-interest, Jesus invites us into a different kind of kingdom. One marked by compassion, purpose, and dependence on Him.

• Jesus calls every believer to participate in His mission
 • The True Shepherd cares for the wounded, lost, and weary
 • God often accomplishes His work through people who feel inadequate and under-resourced

Key Scriptures:
Luke 9:1-17
Ezekiel 34
John 15:1-8
Mark 6:30-44

This week, take time to consider where Jesus may be inviting you to trust Him more deeply. Are you trying to carry the weight of life on your own, or are you relying on the Good Shepherd who knows how to lead and provide for His people? If this message encouraged you, share it with a friend or family member who needs hope and direction today.
