The gospel lectionary reading for Trinity 3 is Matthew 10.24-39. It comes after Jesus has called and sent out the Twelve to share in the ministry and mission that he himself has been undertaking.
Matthew blends into this Jesus' teaching about the longer-term mission of his people, and he collects together related sayings of teaching that are relevant to this, often moving from one to another by key connecting terms.
Join James and Ian as they discuss the issues in this text, how we should read it, and issues in preaching on it.
