The Bible is relevant to our lives today. Paul tells us in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 that Scripture is useful for showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God’s way. This week's challenge to to ask five questions about the day's passage to help us discover what it means for our lives and how we can put that truth into action.
Not every question will fit with every passage. But by asking the questions you are allowing the Bible to strengthen your life and walk with God.
- What have you learned from today's passage?
- What behaviour is it asking you to avoid?
- What promise is it asking you to claim?
- What command is it asking you to obey?
- What sin is it asking you to confess?
Mark 6:7-13The Message (MSG)
7-8 Jesus called the Twelve to him, and sent them out in pairs. He gave them authority and power to deal with the evil opposition. He sent them off with these instructions:
8-9 “Don’t think you need a lot of extra equipment for this. You are the equipment. No special appeals for funds. Keep it simple.
10 “And no luxury inns. Get a modest place and be content there until you leave.
11 “If you’re not welcomed, not listened to, quietly withdraw. Don’t make a scene. Shrug your shoulders and be on your way.”
12-13 Then they were on the road. They preached with joyful urgency that life can be radically different; right and left they sent the demons packing; they brought wellness to the sick, anointing their bodies, healing their spirits.
