The Cost // Called And Sent // 01.25.26
As we jump back into our Gospel of Matthew studies, we now enter into the section we will title: "The Cost." We begin with the "calling and sending" of the twelve disciples. In this message, we examine what a disciple is and what to expect as they reach out to others with the Gospel.

Discussion Questions – 01.25.26
As we move back into our Matthew Studies, we come to a section we will call, "The Cost." Read Matthew 10:1-15 multiple times. Read slowly and as you read, write down all your thoughts and questions to discuss with your group or for your personal study.
1. Let's begin by making you think a bit. Read Matthew 10:5 and Acts 1:8. How can we reconcile these two verses from the mouth of Jesus?
2. Before we go further, if someone were to ask you to describe a disciple of Christ, what would you say? Write down a couple of sentences in your own words to describe one, AND why would you say this?
3. Now let's define a disciple according to Jesus' words. This message centers on the calling and sending of the twelve DISCIPLES. Read Matthew 10:1 AND Mark 3:13-15. Putting both gospels together, what does the life of a disciple of Christ consist of? Explain
4. We are sent out to share the word of God with others. In Matthew 10:12-14, Jesus says that we will be rejected by some. What do you think Jesus is trying to teach the disciples (And us) about rejection and shaking the dust off of our feet? Explain
5. In Matthew, we see the disciples branch out to reach lost people. What do you think Jesus is trying to tell us about our journey in Matthew 10:9-10? Explain
6. Last thought. Up to now, Jesus has done all the ministry. Now He sends out His followers. This is their first time stepping out into ministry. If you can remember, describe how you felt stepping into a servant position in the church? And if you haven't, what are you waiting for? Explain either question.
