In this episode, we dive into the final sermon of Part I of Grace Church’s Follow Me series. Why does Jesus send his disciples out in Matthew 10 with no money, no bag, and instructions to heal the sick and cast out demons? What does it mean to be given authority by Jesus? And how should we understand being “sent” in a world that feels overwhelming and broken?

We tackle other topics like:

– What does real spiritual authority look like?

– Who are the “worthy people” Jesus talks about?

– Should modern Christians expect to heal and cast out demons?

– And… what does “shake the dust off your feet” mean for us today?
