In this passage of God’s Word we see Jesus sending out a larger group of His followers. This is similar to the beginning of chapter 9 where he sent out the 12 disciples, but here we Jesus going a little more in depth on a few issues. Building on top of what we learned from chapter 9, this is what we find out about sharing our faith from this passage:
1. Recognize the labor shortage in God’s Kingdom, and ask God to send more workers
Luke 10:2-3, Rom. 10:14-15, Mark 11:24, John 15:7, 1 Thess. 5:17
2. Don’t take rejection personally
Luke 10:10-16, Rom. 12:12, Phil. 4:4-6, Col. 4:2-6
3. Realize what Jesus has done for you, and rejoice in your own salvation
Luke 10:17-20, John 16:33, 1 John 2:2
4. Appreciate the amazing privilege of witnessing God’s Kingdom at work
Luke 10:21-24, 2 Tim. 1:8-12, 2:15

Reflection Questions
1. As we talked about praying and asking God to send workers into the harvest, did you feel the Lord lay on your heart any ministry in particular to pray for? Why? How have you prayed for that in the past?
2. Have you ever shared your faith with someone, and they didn’t respond how you thought they would? What was their reaction? Did you take that reaction to personally? If so, why?
3. How can you better realize everyday what Jesus has done for you and rejoice in your own salvation? How do you think that would change you?
4. Do you feel like you appreciate the privilege of seeing God’s Kingdom at work around you? Why or why not? How would appreciating that more change you?

Please remember, no offering plates will be passed; instead, we ask you to give online or via the giving box near the entrance. Tables are set up in the back row for families with young children. Because of CDC updated its guidelines, we are no longer be asking people to wear a mask and social distance. However, if you would still like to do either, we completely respect that, and we are asking for everyone to respect that as well. No one will judge you for your decision, either way (see Romans 14).
