"More than T-Shirts and Tattoos"

Our scripture today is from Luke, chapter 9 verses 1-6 from the Common English Bible.

1 Jesus called the Twelve together and he gave them power and authority over all demons and to heal sicknesses. 2 He sent them out to proclaim God's kingdom and to heal the sick. 3 He told them, "Take nothing for the journey—no walking stick, no bag, no bread, no money, not even an extra shirt. 4 Whatever house you enter, remain there until you leave that place. 5 Wherever they don't welcome you, as you leave that city, shake the dust off your feet as a witness against them." 6 They departed and went through the villages proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.
