GETTING STARTED

1. If you were sent on a trip with very limited supplies, what would be the one item you’d have the hardest time leaving behind…and why?

2. When have you had to rely on someone else in a way that stretched your comfort zone?

GOING DEEPER

Read Mark 6:7-13 

Observation:

1. In verse 7, What stands out about how Jesus sends the disciples? Why two by two?

2. In verses 8-9, What specific instructions does Jesus give, and what do they reveal about His priorities? (compare with the results from verses 12-13).

3. In verses 10-11, How does Jesus tell them to respond to both acceptance and rejection?

Interpretation:

1. Why do you think Jesus emphasizes dependence rather than preparation or resources?

2. What does “shaking off the dust” teach us about responsibility and rejection in ministry?

3. How do both the message (repentance) and the ministry (healing) work together?

Application:

1. Who has God placed in your life to partner with in ministry or encouragement?

2. In what areas do you struggle to depend on God rather than yourself?

3. How do you typically respond when your faith or witness is rejected?
