Matthew continues Jesus’ teaching on mission to the world. Jesus points out that the disciples must expect opposition, including possibly from their own families, since Jesus himself has been opposed and called names. He reminds them that God loves and values them as a father.
As we explore both Jeremiah and Matthew’s Gospel this week, we ask: What is the true cost of discipleship? What is sacrificial living and how do we do it? How do we reignite our passion for our faith, a faith that cannot be hidden?
This week we explore the consequences of sharing our faith.
