The Sending
Mark 6:7-13
- He gave them very specific instructions
- He taught them how much they needed encouragement, accountability, and support.
- It is the responsibility of the sender to ensure that those sent on a mission be adequately prepared for it.
- An unprepared person who is sent can gather discouragement more than victories.
Forcefulness
- Forceful leader gives specific direction and then fully expects his followers to carry them out.
- Jesus did not apologize for strong leadership; he promoted it
- Strong leadership is offensive to many these days
- People resist because of pride or because they simply do not want other to tell them what to do.
