Isaac Pettersen unpacks Jesus’ sending of the 72, showing how its enduring principles shape the way we live and share the good news today.

Isaac highlights four principles for following Jesus faithfully: pray rather than relying on our own efforts, be people of peace, give and receive generously, and stay focused on the mission. We are encouraged not to simply replicate the disciples’ specific instructions, but to recognise the timeless call to trust God, leave outcomes in His hands, welcome others, and keep the good news of Jesus central.

Jeff Samuel examines what it truly means to follow Jesus, showing that discipleship requires more than belief—it calls us to wholehearted commitment.

Jeff considers three encounters Jesus has with would-be disciples, highlighting the need to count the cost, surrender without delay, and stop looking back. We are encouraged to examine what may be holding us back from following Christ wholeheartedly, whether misplaced priorities, hesitation, or divided loyalty. Ultimately, Jesus’ call is clear: deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Him, trusting Him regardless of what that may cost us.

Gavin Lynch highlights the value of our time, calling us to avoid fruitless arguments and use our lives for what glorifies God.

Gavin examines Paul’s final instructions to Titus, encouraging us to protect the unity of the church, respond wisely to divisiveness, and avoid arguments that distract us from fruitful ministry. We are encouraged to support those who serve the Lord, meet the needs of others, and demonstrate our faith through good works, love, and practical care. In using our time wisely to serve one another, we become a fruitful witness that points others towards God and brings Him glory.

Billy Hanna reminds us that following Christ means living faithfully within a broken world, not withdrawing from it or simply condemning it.

Billy explains how the gospel transforms the way we relate to our governments, neighbours, workplaces, and wider community. As we remember the mercy and grace God has shown us, we are called to humility, gentleness, courtesy, obedience, and a readiness to do good. Our lives should reflect the practical love of Christ, meeting both physical and spiritual needs, so that we can display the gospel to those around us and contribute to the flourishing of our society.

Avi Seneviratne reveals how God’s grace saves us, transforms us, and gives us confident hope for Christ’s return.

Avi explains that God’s grace is not only the means of our salvation but also the power that trains us to live godly lives. As we consider Christ’s sacrifice, redemption, and promise to return in glory, we are encouraged to renounce ungodliness, pursue holiness, and allow the Holy Spirit to shape our everyday choices. Our hope in Christ’s coming should give us confidence, purpose, and a desire to make the gospel visible through lives marked by good works, faithful obedience, and joyful service.
