The Mission of Proclamation
Mark 6:1-29
Basic Outline of the Passage:
• Rejection of Jesus at Nazareth
• The Commissioning of the Twelve
• Herod and the death of John the Baptist
Esther 5:3 “What is it, Queen Esther?” the king asked her. “Whatever you want, even to half the kingdom, will be given to you.”
Esther 5:6 While drinking the wine, the king asked Esther, “Whatever you ask will be given to you. Whatever you want, even to half the kingdom, will be done.”
Mark 6:23 He promised her with an oath: “Whatever you ask me I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”
We see in all of these stories the need to proclaim TRUTH even when the powers try to suppress the truth.
Mark 6:4-13
4 Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his household.” 5 He was not able to do a miracle there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And he was amazed at their unbelief. He was going around the villages teaching.
7 He summoned the Twelve and began to send them out in pairs and gave them authority over unclean spirits. 8 He instructed them to take nothing for the road except a staff—no bread, no traveling bag, no money in their belts, 9 but to wear sandals and not put on an extra shirt. 10 He said to them, “Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that place. 11 If any place does not welcome you or listen to you, when you leave there, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.” 12 So they went out and preached that people should repent. 13 They drove out many demons, anointed many sick people with oil and healed them.
Mark 6:30 The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all that they had done and taught.
At the heart of these stories is a theme–hospitality.
Mark 6:8-9
8 He instructed them to take nothing for the road except a staff—no bread, no traveling bag, no money in their belts, 9 but to wear sandals and not put on an extra shirt.
Christian Hospitality:
Christian hospitality is community-focused.
Hospitality and humility go hand-in-hand.
We are called to be people who:
• Enfold and embrace the lonely into the community
• Recognize and include those who feel invisible
• Allow God to sustain us through food, and also through the relationships He designed us to walk in
• Share the truth to prodigal sons and daughters that their Father is looking for them
