fresh air


Mark writes, describing the sending of the 12,

"Then they were on the road.

They preached with joyful urgency that life can be radically different;

right and left they sent the demons packing; they brought wellness to the sick, anointing their bodies, healing their spirits"

Mark 6:12,13

As we embark on this church planting journey (Lance began his apprenticeship in January) and really just thinking about how we live, this verse is fresh air. Who doesn't long to hear words, spoken with joy and urgency about a new way of life? A new Kingdom, both coming and here? I do, and long to speak and live this announcement too.

I like that translation...that life can be radically different.

How is the church planting journey going?
