Last Sunday we talked about how each of us are called by God to be actively working to advance God’s kingdom. This Sunday we will be talking about the first steps in being engaged in this work. We read in Luke that when Jesus sent out his disciples, he told them to take nothing for their journey. As one who tends to over-pack for every trip I go on, I can imagine this may have been a difficult proposition for some of the disciples. But what we will see this Sunday is that when we travel light, we are much more effective in our ministries. And we are never traveling empty handed because we carry with us the light of Christ.
