On mission we advance the Kingdom!

1. Together
Mark 6:7a :: And he called the twelve and began to send them out two by two

2. With authority
Mark 6:7b :: and gave them authority over the unclean spirits.

3. With focus
Mark 6:8 :: He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts

4. With humility
Mark 6:10 :: And he said to them, “Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you depart from there.

5. Without guilt
Mark 6:11 :: 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.”


On mission we must be prepared!

1. To be misunderstood

2. To be feared
Mark 6:16 :: But when Herod heard of it, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised.”

3. To be opposed
Mark 6:17 :: For it was Herod who had sent and seized John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because he had married her.

4. To be killed
Mark 6:27 :: And immediately the king sent an executioner with orders to bring John’s[e] head. He went and beheaded him in the prison
