TODAY: “Take Nothing” • Matthew 9:35-10:20; Exodus 19:2-8; Romans 5:6-15 • We live in a culture that prizes self-sufficiency. We are taught to carry our own weight, meet our own needs, and depend on no one. Yet, , Jesus sends His disciples out with nothing. No financial security. No backup plan. No guarantee of welcome. They are to trust God, receive the hospitality of strangers, and freely give what they have freely received. The kingdom of God grows not through power, wealth, or control, but through vulnerability, generosity, and faith. Perhaps one of the hardest lessons for modern Christians is that God’s kingdom advances when we need one another.

Special: Lord Jesus, teach us to trust You more than our own strength. Make us generous in sharing Your gifts, humble in receiving the gifts of others, and faithful witnesses to Your kingdom wherever You send us. • God of all power, move those who claim Your holy name to “have the same mindset as Christ Jesus,” who “did justice, loved mercy, and walked humbly with you” (Philippians 2:5, Micah 6:8). • We pray for our nation, that the Lord would heal our divisions. Help us to walk the non-violent ways of Jesus. We pray for our world, torn apart by wars, violence, and hatred: Lord have mercy. Christ have mercy. Lord Have mercy. • Lord, watch over our first responders and keep them safe.
