This is a simple sequence of verses in Luke that demonstrates the way Jesus modeled for His disciples, then sent them, then commissioned those that were reached through their ministry.
Instructions:
Get participants to look up the following passages—the first two verses of Luke 8, 9, and 10:
Luke 8.1-2
Luke 9.1-2
Luke 10.1-2
Let someone read each passage one by one, asking these questions each time:
What was Jesus doing, and where did they do it?
What were the disciples doing, and where did they do it?
What Kingdom principles did Jesus want His disciples to observe and understand?
If you have time at this point, you may find it helpful to share a few more key details:
In Luke 8, Jesus models many other things.
Let participants study that chapter to find the many things Jesus models for them.
In Luke 9, (AFTER Jesus sent them out), the disciples said or did many very silly and immature things.
Let participants study that chapter to find seven or eight of these things.
What does that tell us about sending out workers into the harvest?
And finally, go to Luke 11 and read at the first verse.
Again, what does this tell us about sending workers into the harvest?
