Summer Series
Jesus Encounters | Week 9: Sent | Mark 6:6–13, 30–31
Join us this week as we continue our Summer Series. In this week’s Jesus Encounter, we see that the ministry of the gospel is laid in the hands of his followers. Go, and do—just as you’ve seen Jesus do.
The church is not looking for perfect people or the highly qualified—the church is looking for people who are called. The Lord will equip you and guide you.
