Love languages - 17th Sunday in OT - Jul 28, 2024

reflection: Radical Trust and Being Sent Out. - 15th Sunday in OT - July 14

Jesus calls His 12 disciples to have a radical trust in him as He sends them out 2 x 2 but not letting them bring food or money or additional clothing. We are also called to trust in the Lord and even though we may not feel equipped for what He asks of us, such as sharing the good news of the gospel with others he still desires us to rely upon Him, and spread the Gospel.
