Meals with Jesus
Luke 10:5-7
Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church
When you look up the word peace, the first definition given is: “freedom from disturbance; tranquility.” This can be applied in a lot of ways, but one area it relates to is the people around us. Our American culture can be pretty hostile when it comes to certain controversial topics; a common mindset is, “If you’re not with me, you’re against me.” That kind of thinking creates such a disturbance in our mental and emotional state, the very opposite of peace!
With ever-increasing defensive postures and hostile comments, there is a great temptation to want to stick within a certain bubble and keep out the negativity. But Jesus sent out His disciples anyway, and He wants to send us out too. In this message, we will hear some very encouraging news from the Lord about when we are out in the world and who we might encounter.
