Welcome to Calvary's Online Campus!
Dive deep into this Bible study on Mark 6:7-13 as Pastor Robert unpacks Jesus’ strategic sending of the Twelve disciples—before the Great Commission ever took place. This message reveals God’s masterful plan: Preparing the world for Jesus through pre-evangelism, trust in divine provision, and faithful obedience that softens hearts and prepares the soil for the Gospel.
Why This Mission Matters – Jews First, Then the Gentiles:
Jesus declared His primary calling: “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Matthew 15:24). Yet God’s eternal plan always included all nations—fulfilled through Abraham’s Seed, who is Christ (Genesis 18:18; 22:18; Galatians 3:16). As Romans 1:16 affirms: “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.”
Key Themes:
1. Pre-Evangelism: Preparing the Soil Before the Seed
2. Divine Authority and Dependence on Christ
3. Trust in God’s Provision (Travel Light Theology)
4. Contentment and Humility in Ministry
5. Faithful Proclamation & Handling Rejection
6. The Simple, Hopeful Message: Repentance
7. Signs Confirm the Message (Pre-Figuration of Luke 4:18)
8. Jews First, Then the Gentiles: God’s Unfolding Plan
9. Faithfulness in the Ordinary
If you're searching for a fresh perspective on evangelism that goes beyond the Great Commission—revealing how Jesus strategically prepared the world through His disciples' first mission—then this sermon is for you. Pastor Robert unpacks Mark 6:7-13 with verse-by-verse clarity, showing how pre-evangelism softens hearts, why traveling light builds unshakable trust in God, and how faithful obedience in ordinary moments can change eternity. Whether you're a new believer, a seasoned minister, or someone wrestling with rejection in sharing your faith, this message will equip, encourage, and ignite you to live the Gospel before you preach it. Your next step in preparing the world for Jesus starts here.
We pray that you are blessed by the message!
