02Matthew 10
SEND

TABLE

05Mark 14
SCATTER
The circle fails under pressure; the narrative does not airbrush them.
06Matthew 28 · Acts 1
WITNESS
The risen Christ commissions, Judas is absent, and Matthias later joins the Twelve’s number.
AN OPEN INVITATION
Influence through witness. Never pressure through spectacle.
Southern Baptist conviction is named honestly here, but belief is not coerced. Visitors may read, question, compare, disagree, and return to the text. The invitation is strong because it is open.
