The Cost of Being Sent
Oct 18, 2026 • The Rev. Charlie Holt
Moved with compassion for crowds harassed and helpless like sheep without a shepherd, Jesus turns disciples into apostles and sends the twelve out in Matthew 10. They go without money, bag or spare tunic, and that vulnerability, illustrated from mission work in Honduras, reveals who will welcome the gospel. The discourse dwells less on method than on cost: persecution, the cross and the courage that comes from fearing God rather than people.
