Something That We Should Not Think!


‘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.

‘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.

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.
