THE MONDAY PRACTICE
Bringing Sunday’s Message into Your Week
This spiritual practice guide is designed to help you take Sunday’s message and actually live it out with Jesus during the week. We don’t just want to hear the Word—we want to practice it.
Use this in your personal time with God to reflect, pray, and put the message into motion through everyday spiritual practices. Let this be a tool to slow down, surrender, and be transformed.
Message Title: Sent But Secure: The Harvest Is Ready… Are We?
Text: Luke 10:1–22
Series: Disruptive Discipleship in a Secular Age
Scripture Summary
In Luke 10, Jesus sends out 72 ordinary disciples to prepare the way for Him—announcing the Kingdom, healing the sick, and offering peace. But He doesn’t send them with strategy or swagger—He sends them with dependence, simplicity, and joy. He tells them the harvest is ready, but the laborers are few, and their job is not to pray for revival but to pray for laborers—people willing to say yes.
When they return with joy, Jesus reminds them not to find their identity in what they do, but in who they are—known, loved, and secure in heaven. This is discipleship that disrupts both comfort and passivity: sent, vulnerable, filled with authority, and anchored in grace.
Big Idea
Discipleship isn’t just about believing in Jesus—it’s about being sent with His authority and grounded in His grace. Your deepest joy isn’t in what you accomplish, but in the fact that your name is written in heaven.
✚ Practice #1: Pray Luke 10:2 Every Morning
“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” (Luke 10:2)
Do it: Set a daily alarm for 10:02 AM this week and pray, “Lord, send out laborers into your harvest—start with me.”
✚ Practice #2: Identify Your Field
You’ve already been sent—you just may not recognize your field yet. The harvest isn’t just “out there.” It’s wherever God has already placed you.
Ask yourself:
Who has God already placed in my path that needs His peace, healing, or truth?
Where do I spend time each week that might be ripe for spiritual impact?
Action step: Choose one space (home, workplace, gym, school pickup line, coffee shop) and commit to carrying peace there this week.
✚ Practice #3: Say Yes to Being Sent
Disruptive discipleship means we don’t wait to feel powerful—we step out in faith. Start small:
Pray for someone’s healing
Share your story
Invite someone into your community group
Offer a word of encouragement
Don’t wait for revival. Step into it.
✚ Practice #4: Anchor Your Joy in Heaven
“Do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” (Luke 10:20)
Declare this each morning:
“My joy is not in my performance but in my position—I am known by Jesus. My name is written in heaven.”
Why this matters: If your joy is rooted in results, you’ll always feel insecure. But when it’s anchored in grace, you’ll walk in unshakable confidence.
✚ Practice #5: Step Into the Quiet Revival
Don’t miss what God is doing just because it’s not loud. Revival isn’t always a stadium moment—it’s often a surrendered one.
Ask:
Where is God already moving quietly in me?
What would it look like to build a life that invites His presence every day?
Try This:
Spend 10 minutes today in quiet prayer. Ask God to speak. Ask Him to send. Let your week begin from a place of stillness.
Community Conversation Starters
Use these in your group or with a few friends over coffee this week:
Where do you sense God sending you right now?
How does the idea of being “sent but secure” change the way you see your everyday life?
What might be keeping you from stepping into your mission field?
How can we anchor our joy in heaven together—not in what we accomplish, but in being known by Jesus?
FINAL CHARGE
You don’t have to be impressive to be impactful.
You don’t need to feel ready to be sent.
You are secure—not because of what you’ve done, but because of who you belong to.
So this week...
Pray. Show up. Offer peace. Proclaim the Kingdom. And rejoice—not in what you do, but in who you are.
The harvest is ready.
The Spirit is in you.
The Kingdom is near.
Go—sent, secure, and full of joy.
