Evangelism & Rejection

Evangelism & Rejection

Author: Epikos Church November 23, 2025 Duration: 42:28
In Mark 6, we see both the beauty and the cost of following Jesus. As Jesus is rejected in His hometown and sends His disciples out with nothing but faith and purpose, we’re reminded that the gospel invites us into a life of trust, mission, and perseverance. Even in the face of rejection, God calls us to share the good news with compassion and clarity. Through the story of John the Baptist and the sending of the Twelve, we’re invited to examine where God has placed us and how we can live out our faith with courage, humility, and hope.
