In Numbers 31:25-32, God commands Moses to lead a victorious campaign against the Midianites as a response to their deceit towards the Israelites. The spoils of war are divided among the soldiers, the community, and as an offering to the Lord, showcasing God's justice and provision. As the Israelites settle, the tribes of Reuben and Gad, impressed by the land's fertility for their livestock, request to inherit the land east of the Jordan River, sparking a negotiation about loyalty and duty towards God and their community.

Will the tribes of Reuben and Gad fulfill their promise to help conquer the Promised Land, or will their desire for immediate gratification lead them astray from God's larger plan for Israel?

In Luke 8:40-9:9, the narrative unfolds with Jesus returning to the crowds eagerly waiting for Him. He performs two of His most remarkable miracles: the healing of a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years and the raising of Jairus' daughter from the dead, both demonstrating His compassion and divine power over life and illness. Following these miracles, Jesus sends out the Twelve Apostles, empowering them to preach the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick, marking a pivotal moment in their journey of faith and service.

Will the Apostles carry forward the torch of Jesus' teachings and miracles with courage and faith, especially under the scrutiny and rising opposition they face?
