On a Mission from God (Mark 6:7-13)
Where do you look for meaning in your life? If you're a Christian, I would hope that Jesus would factor into that answer quickly and centrally. But even as a Christian, it might be tough to articulate exactly how your faith brings meaning to your life.
This week at Grace we're studying Mark 6:7-13, where Jesus sent out the twelve on a mission to replicate his ministry in the lives of others.
Part of what makes this passage so compelling to me is what Jesus offers his disciples. By sending them out, he is inviting them into a life of meaning and purpose.
In this passage, we see a picture of what is possible in our lives as well.
Looking forward to discussing it with you this Sunday!
In Christ,

7 And he called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. 8 He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts— 9 but to wear sandals and not put on two tunics. 10 And he said to them, “Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you depart from there. 11 And if any place will not receive you and they will not listen to you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them.” 12 So they went out and proclaimed that people should repent. 13 And they cast out many demons and anointed with oil many who were sick and healed them.
