Weekly resources to enrich worship and learning – wherever you are

Preparing for 21 - 27 June 2026

Genesis 21:8-21; Psalm 86:1-10,16-17; Romans 6.1b-11; Matthew 10.24-39RCL Proper 7 Year A

No compromise

Matthew continues Jesus’ teaching on mission to the world pointing out that the disciples must expect opposition, including possibly from their own families. Following Jesus won’t be straightforward, but he reminds the disciples of their value and of God’s love for them.

This week we ask: What is the true cost of discipleship? What is sacrificial living, and how do we do it? Can we be those who do not compromise and know God’s great reward?
