To study Matthew 10 in a group
1. What it says
What instructions did Jesus give the twelve when he sent them out (vv. 7–10)?
2. What it means
Why does Jesus say not to be afraid, even while he announces that there will be opposition (vv. 26–31)?
3. How I live it
Jesus says whoever gives a cup of cold water will not lose their reward (v. 42). Whom can you serve this way today?
