Message #391, Matthew 9:35-10:26, "Five Lifelong Lessons" Part 1 Sunday, September 15, 2019 In this portion of Scripture, we will study the initial call of Jesus' first twelve disciples to be His apostles. You're invited to join us in learning from these students who Christ commissioned to declare His message, and given authority to validate that message with divine expressions of His mercy. We'll touch on the difference between this first send off with the subsequent commission of the seventy disciples, and then of the Great Commission. We'll do this in order to accurately divide the word (2 Timothy 2:15) and draw out biblical applications. Our sermon questions are as follows: 1)How does God produce in me Jesus' compassion for people? 2)Who does God call to serve Him, and what does He give us to fulfill His calling? 3)How does God fuel our faithfulness and courage in the face of external opposition and internal fears?
