Then they will beat their swords into iron plows and their spears into
pruning tools. Nation will not take up sword against nation; they will

the Lord’s light.
—Isaiah 2:4b-5 (CEB)

Jesus said to his disciples: I tell you not to worry about your life!
Don’t worry about having something to eat or wear. Life is more than
food or clothing. Look at the crows! They don’t plant or harvest, and
they don’t have storehouses or barns. But God takes care of them. You
are much more important than any birds.
—Luke 12:22-24 (CEV)

no longer learn how to make war. Come, house of Jacob, let’s walk by the
Lord’s light.

Sessions 6–13

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Therefore, I say to you, don’t worry
about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will
wear. There is more to life than food and more to the body than clothing.
Consider the ravens: they neither plant nor harvest, they have no silo
or barn, yet God feeds them. You are worth so much more than birds! Who
among you by worrying can add a single moment to your life? If you can’t
do such a small thing, why worry about the rest?
—Luke 12:22–26 (CEB)

Therefore, as a prisoner for the Lord, I encourage you to live as people
worthy of the call you received from God. Conduct yourselves with all

you together. You are one body and one spirit, just as God also called you
in one hope. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and
Father of all, who is over all, through all, and in all.
—Ephesians 4:1-6 (CEB)
