ABOUT THE EPISODE

Matthew 10-15 brings reminders of how rest, priorities, and understanding our commission reorients our actions to better reflect Jesus. In today’s episode, Cherie and Tami dive into three big ideas from our reading, and we end with a practical look at how your day-to-day life can reflect the truth we discover in this text!

INSIGHTS FROM CHERIE AND TAMI

Big Idea #1: Find rest in Jesus

• Rather than taking on unnecessary burdens, take the yoke of Jesus. Find out why Jesus says it’s “easy and light.”
• Jesus promises us rest when we come to Him. He is a promise MAKER and a promise KEEPER.
• This is a command to come to Him for rest. And our obedience is surrender.

Big Idea #2: Treasure Jesus

• Is Jesus your highest priority?
• Is He enough?
• We need to love Him first, love Him most, and love Him best.

Big Idea #3: We are commissioned 

• It’s a good thing we are sheep! (Because Jesus is the good Shepherd.)
• Even when you face hardship, keep going. 
• Don’t become discouraged when someone is not ready to receive Christ. Keep going.

Two ways we can practice our commissioning:

1. Create margin (allow space to be interrupted when conversations or people are in your path)
2. Tell your testimony (It’s difficult to argue your personal experience of Christ!)
