The Tree Church

Jesus asked the disciples to do something unique and seemingly illogical. He told them to go on a trip and don't do any of the things you would normally do to prepare for it. Jesus was preparing them to take a step of faith. He wanted them to go alone, trusting God would supernaturally provide for all of their needs. The reason Jesus wanted them to do this is He knew later on He would be leaving and they would physically be on their own and would once again have to trust God to provide for all of their needs in a supernatural way. Jesus was giving them bigger steps of faith so that later, they would be willing to take more steps of faith.
