God with us in eternity
Think of all the places your name is written down.
Illustration:
Nortec
Craig was here
Where are all the places your name is written down?
My grade five teacher had a black book.
If your name was written in that book three times something would happen.
I had my name written in it once and never again.
In some places look passports, our name has significance, it recognizes us as citizens of Canada.
When we put our name on a test it recognizes that we are the ones who answered those questions (this can be a great source of embarrassment sometimes).
When it is on an agreement for employment we are recognized as employees of a company.
When it is on an award, it is because we were seen as having done something well.
We like having our names attached to good things, especially if we are the ones who did the good thing and are recognized for it.
We especially love it when our name carries weight and allows us to accomplish things.
As we enter this year most of us give some thought to what we would like our name to stand for.
Maybe not in those words, but we have ideas and dreams we would like to see happen.
Most of us want to do better or be better in this coming year.
What will your name stand for this year?
Don’t answer this question yet?
If you do and your wrong it will feel like a bait and switch at the end of the sermon.
Now you are thinking the church answer.
“Jesus?”
When Jesus was in his public ministry he had a number of followers.
There were the twelve disciples, but there was also a larger group that had a significant role in working with Jesus.
At one point Jesus sent out the twelve to go into the villages he planned to visit to get folks ready for him.
He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick ().
He only gave them a few instructions probably because they had been with him from the beginning.
He said to the twelve:
Luke 9:3-
A little later he sent our seventy two of his followers with the same message and a little more instructions.
And there are some principles for us in this passage to help frame our new year.
Right off the bat, Jesus cuts the potential of his work force in half.
Wouldn’t it have made more sense to sen the out as individuals?
Not very efficient by our standards.
But when you think of how people recognize Christians for who they are what are some things Jesus said,
When Jesus was praying for his disciples he recognized the unity he had with his Father and that they shared with him and he wanted them to share that unity with each other.
John 17:
The world watches us.
How we relate to each other and often makes a decision on how we treat those we are supposed to love the most.
Then he lays a heavy on them.
The harvest is huge but their aren't that many of you, so pray that God would raise up more workers for the harvest.
The point Jesus is making to his disciples is that their are more receptive hearts out there than you think.
Keep your eyes open.
Pray for more people to join you in this.
Then he lays a heavy on them.

The point Jesus is making to his disciples is that their are more receptive hearts out there than you think.
Keep your eyes open.
Pray for more people to join you in this.
the harvest is way bigger than you.
Now Go!
You are a lamb and their are wolves out there.
Don’t be prepared for them.
Don’t take a purse, what they held their money in, don’t take a travel bag or day pack, you don’t need your dress sandals along, and don’t greet anyone on the road.
Don’t talk to strangers.
That one is a little weird.
To understand it we have to understand some of the greeting patterns in the ancient middle east.
They could take hours sometimes.
You would inquire of the person, of the persons family individuals, what they were up to, you would sit down and share some food, it was what we would call small talk but protracted over hours.
Can you imagine?
It created a very hospitable society, with very little actually getting talked about.
Jesus was telling them don’t put your time into that on this trip.
Put your time into what I’m sending you for.
But
Head on out together.
But don’t take anything with you.
This was an exercise for them to trust God to provide what they needed.
He wanted them to stay attached to him and the Father.
And can we apply this to now?
By asking this question:
How will I build on my attachment to God?
(1-4)
We don’t know what this year will hold, we don’t know what the next hour holds.
What we can be sure of is the faithfulness of God towards us, we can be sure of the love God has for us, We can be sure of God’s word for us.
the struggle is I can get so obsessed with life that it gets in the way of me knowing and serving Jesus.
Obsessed with life that it gets in way of serving Christ
Obsessed with life that it gets in way of serving Christ
Greet no one on the road: Not license for rudeness
Elaborate greetings where you sit down and have a meal
My Grandpa before he died was always on about redeeming the time.
he wasn’t talking about doing great things he was talking about following Jesus and telling others about him.
Don’t waste your time
What step can i take in this?
Start a Bible reading plan.
Their is something called the Bible App by life church.
(Screenshot).
It is available for computer, tablets and phones.
Over this past year I have been using it to listen through the Bible.
it has been an amazing rich experience.
To say I will be attached to God without being in his word is an oxymoron.
It can’t happen.
Because his word shapes how we see him, his plan, his world, and ourselves.
And I recommend not doing the plans with devotionals attached, just do a reading plan where you work through a section of Scripture.
You can listen through the whole Bible in around 20 minutes a day.
Maybe you another step this year that God is working with you in, that is fine.
If you don’t have anything start with Scripture.
So Jesus is saying trust me, stay attached to me.
Then Jesus gets into some specifics for when these disciples would enter a town.
Luke 10:5-
Jesus understood the culture he grew up in.
