Tuesday Night :
Our Tuesday night Meal and Bible Study starts at 6:00pm with a meal, followed by a time of Worship, telling of a Bible story, and separate men’s and women’s group discussions of the story. We’re currently working our way through stories from the Old Testament.
4/29/25 We’ll discuss the story of Israelites abandoning God from Judges 2:6-3:6.

The Scripture passage below is the text we’ll examine for this Sunday’s sermon.
Matthew 10:5–16 (CSB)
5 Jesus sent out these twelve after giving them instructions: “Don’t take the road that leads to the Gentiles, and don’t enter any Samaritan town. 6 Instead, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 As you go, proclaim, ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those with leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you received, freely give. 9 Don’t acquire gold, silver, or copper for your money-belts. 10 Don’t take a traveling bag for the road, or an extra shirt, sandals, or a staff, for the worker is worthy of his food. 11 When you enter any town or village, find out who is worthy, and stay there until you leave. 12 Greet a household when you enter it, 13 and if the household is worthy, let your peace be on it; but if it is unworthy, let your peace return to you. 14 If anyone does not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that house or town. 15 Truly I tell you, it will be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.
PERSECUTIONS PREDICTED
16 “Look, I’m sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as serpents and as innocent as doves.

Our Vision
Mustard Tree Baptist Church is a collaborative effort between Minnesota and Mississippi Baptists to plant a Southern Baptist church in Duluth.
Our vision is to:
1) Glorify God: in obedience and worship.
2) Go: with the love of Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit.
3) Grow: in faith, knowledge, and the fruit of the Spirit.
If you’re interested in becoming a part of this new church plant or if you just have questions we’d love to hear from you.
