[Sunday] Plans - Missio Dei
Jesus sends his disciples to bring the mission of God to the Children of Israel. But how Jesus sends them out is so much different than our planned expectations.
QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK: Plans
Read Mark 6:1-13. Jesus experiences opposition and then sends his disciples out in His mission. What does that mission look like for the disciples? What are they to bring? What are they to do in opposition? What is the goal of their ministry?
How important is it for us to recognize that the mission of God is not our mission? What false leanings do we succumb to if we believe the mission belongs to us?
Do you think the great commission is called great because it is so wonderful? Or because it is so huge? Talk about both. Why is the act of us being sent so wonderful? Why is the mission so huge?
What Had happened at Grace this week.
It's right there, all around us is the party of God's abundance. The question for us all is: Will we enjoy ourselves in God’s generosity, or will we rely on our own strength?
