Eyes on the Harvest (Derik Fuller) | Set Your Sights
Jesus lifts our eyes to a field that’s ready and sends ordinary followers into it as his representatives.
Snapshot: Jesus lifts the disciples’ eyes and points them at a field. The harvest is plentiful, he says, but the workers are few, so beg the Lord of the harvest to send out workers. Then he makes them the answer to their own prayer. He sends out seventy two of his follower, two by two, ahead of him into every town he is about to enter. Travelling light. Lambs among wolves. Eyes on the harvest, not on their own comfort or safety. The mission we’ve been given isn’t a mission that’s best left for the professionals. It’s ordinary disciples carrying his peace and his kingdom onto a real street. Don’t skip the woes in verses 13 to 16. The same gospel that brings peace to one house hardens the next, and to hear these messengers is to hear Christ himself. The Sender is the Lord of the harvest, and the message is his own presence drawing near. The gospel is the peace he holds out to every house that will receive him.

No Detours (Andrew Nunn) | Set Your Sights
In this passage we encounter three would-be followers of Jesus, and every one of them wants a detour before he follows. One word keeps surfacing. First. Let me first bury my father. Let me first say farewell. Each request sounds reasonable, but each is a detour. Jesus refuses the detour every single time. Here’s the thing though, all of us get detoured sometimes. Jesus alone is the only person who ever walked the whole road with no detours at all. He fixed his sights and never once looked back, all the way to death, and he did it so that failures like us could belong to him. He had nowhere to lay his head so that we could have a home with him forever. This week let's call people to name their own detours: comfort, family expectation, keeping their options open, and lay them down for the sake of Jesus and his mission. This is Seek First lived out.

Turned Away, Not Turned Back (Andrew Nunn) | Set Your Sights
Rejection turns Jesus away from a village, but not back from his mission, and not against the people who refused him.
Snapshot: We start where Luke starts the journey. Jesus fixes his sights on Jerusalem. In Luke’s own words he set his face to go there, and almost at once he gets turned away. A Samaritan village will not receive him. James and John are ready to torch the place, like Elijah calling down fire in 2 Kings 1 and Jesus rebukes them. And then verse 56 tells the whole story in a handful of quiet words. They went on to another village. Turned away but not turned back and not turned bitter. When the culture turns us away, and it will, we don’t turn back and we don’t call down fire. We keep our sights set, and we keep loving.
