“Counted Among the Disciples”
Text: Mark 3:1-19
Following our “Why We Worship” series, we return to our study of the Gospel of Mark. In this passage, Jesus appoints His disciples. Mark describes them as having three purposes; “to be with him, and to be sent out to proclaim the message, and to have authority to cast out demons.” God continues to invite us to be involved in the work of what Jesus is about, and so we are to have these same purposes. A life of discipleship living is one that is done as a reflection of the grace and love that Jesus poured out on us and allows Him to continually shape and form who we are.
