‘Something That We Should Not Think.’
James 2:1-4.
a) James 2:1. To dear
Brothers and Sisters who are True Believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
b) James 2:1. We should
never think that some people are more important than other people.
c) James 2:2. Suppose
someone comes into our Church wearing nice clothes and a gold ring, another person
come in at the same time who is obviously poor, they wear old and dirty
clothes.
d) James 2:3. Then we give
special attention to the good looking and well- dressed person. Giving them the
best seat. We give the poor person a back corner seat or even make them sit on the
floor.
e) James 2:4. What are we
doing if we follow this way? We are discriminating! We are making some people
more important than other people. With evil thoughts we decide that one person
is better than another.

Something That I Should Not Think)
‘The Twelve Disciples’
Ministry Training Time.’
Mark 6:7-13.
a) Mark 6:7. Jesus Christ
called His Twelve Disciples together and got them ready to go out two-by-two.
He also gave them Power over evil spirits.
b) Mark 6:8. Jesus told His
Disciples to take nothing for their trip apart from a stick to walk with. They
could take no:-
1- Bread.
2- Bag.
3- Money.
c) Mark 6:9. They were to
wear sandals and just use the clothes that they were wearing.
d) Mark 6:10. When they
entered a house they were to lodge in that house until they left the town.
e) Mark 6:11. Leave that
town and shake its dust off your feet if the people there refuse to welcome you
or reject you.
f) Mark 6:12. The Disciples
went out and preached that people should:-
1- Turn from sin.
2- Repent.
3- Change their heart and life.
g) Mark 6:13. These
Disciples:-
1- Forced many demons out.
2- Anointed with olive oil many sick people.
3- Healed many sick people.

Chris.
For all Ministers of the Gospel, Missionaries and Church
evangelistic teams there will be times when people refuse to welcome us, or
even reject us. Such times should cause us to Pray and seek God for what He
wants. It seems He normally wants the rejected Servants of the Lord to endure
for a while. It may be, however, that He wants them to move on, especially if
they have done their faithful work of spreading the Gospel.
