Secret Mission: Mercy

Today, adventurers, you're not getting a story. You're getting a MISSION. Your assignment is to show mercy to others. Four missions (plus a bonus one that's the hardest of them all) send you after the kid with no lunch, the new kid clutching his backpack, the friend who's been out sick for two weeks, and the person everybody forgot. Then comes the classified part, straight from Jesus in Matthew, chapter 25 — and it changes who you were really helping the whole time.

The Whittled-Down Army

What if God asked you to fight a battle — and then kept making your army smaller? Gideon was hiding in a winepress, threshing wheat where raiders couldn't spot him, when an angel showed up and called him a "mighty man of valor." Gideon's honest reply? Are you sure you've got the right guy? Come along for secret raids, smashing jars, blazing torches, and an army that God shrinks from thirty-two thousand down to three hundred — on purpose (Judges 6–7). It turns out the power was never in the size of the army. It was in whose army it was.

Love Your Neighbor

Trick question, adventurers: who counts as your neighbor? A very smart lawyer once asked Jesus that exact question, hoping for an easy answer he could check off his list — and instead Jesus told him a story about a dusty road, a man left hurting in the dirt, and three travelers who each had to decide whether to stop. Two of them crossed to the other side. The third was the last person anybody expected. Come along for one of the most famous parables Jesus ever told (Luke 10:25–37), and find out why "love your neighbor" is a lot bigger than we think.
