Scripture:Mark 6:12 So they went out and preached that people should repent.Transcript:And now, Admonition, Brought to you by the Collierville Church of ChristIn Mark 6:12, we read, So they went out and preached that people should repent. Jesus sends out his disciples here in this context, two by two; Sends out the 12 to the cities of Galilee and he sends them out and here's their message: Here's what they're teaching, Here's what they're preaching, Repent! John the Baptist taught the people to repent. Jesus taught the people to repent. The disciples taught the people to repent and in Acts 2:38 Peter's Message to Israel was repent. We need to learn that God expects us to change our lives to fit his commands, not change his commands to fit our lives.For more from the Collierville Church of Christ, visit Colliervillecoc.org.
Scripture:And whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!Transcript:And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ.In Mark 6:11 we read, And whoever will not receive you nor hear you when you depart from there, shake off the dust from under your feet as a testimony against them. Jesus sends out his disciples with a message. The message belongs to God. The message comes from the father. The message has come through Christ to the disciples, to these people. The message didn't belong to the Messenger. The Messenger doesn't get to change the message so that the people hearing the message will obey it. Teachers and preachers may I encourage you, do not adjust the message of God to make it more tolerable for a people who won't listen. If they won't listen, the judgment is on them. Speak the truth. Hold fast to the truth without wavering. Do not change the message.For more from the Collierville Church of Christ. Visit Colliervillecoc.org.
Scripture:Mark 6:11 - And whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!"Transcript:And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ.In Mark 6:11 we read, And whoever will not receive you nor hear you. When you depart from there, shake the dust off of your feet as a testimony against them. Jesus will tell his disciples as they go out to teach and to preach. When you go to a city and the people reject you--you can't find a household that will take you in, that will receive you, that will hear your words--when that happens, you understand something: they're not rejecting you. They're rejecting the one who sent you. We need to learn as we teach and preach to others. The rejection of the message is not a rejection of us. It's a rejection of the Father. It's a rejection of Christ. It's a rejection of the one who sent the message.For more from the Collierville Church of Christ, visit Colliervillecoc.org.
