99. Matthew 10 - The Lost Sheep of the House of Israel: A Fresh Look at Jesus' Mission

In this episode we continue our study of the Gospel of Matthew. This episode discusses Matthew chapter 10—Jesus' second major discourse. It’s where Jesus commissions His twelve disciples. We discuss the list of apostles, the true meaning of the 'lost sheep of the house of Israel,' and the challenging instructions on freely giving, expecting persecution, and taking up the cross. Readers often adopt Jesus' instructions as their own, but what if the instructions in chapter 10 were only for the original 12 disciples?
