How did Jesus equip his disciples for powerful work by taking away their material possessions?

In taking away the material possessions of his disciples, Jesus equiped them with an unending faith in the power of God. For when we need possessions we become slaves but when we need nothing God can use us to do his work.

What did you learn about Jesus` background that stands out or surprises you?

The education of the children is something that really stands out for me. In Jesus` times there were less distractions then today and the families were very much more closer. I`d like to know if the children had a rougher more stressful life then or was it an easier carefree life because of their beleifs?

What happens when a `mountain` doesn`t move?

The natural verdict from reading Mark 11:22-24 is that the person praying has: 1. doubted , 2. not had sufficient belief that God would do the request. Dangerous! Especially if not read whilst looking at other parts of scripture, such as when Jesus said God doesn`t give people things that are bad for them, even if people ask for them. That underlines the power rests in God`s hand and not ours. God is not a genie giving us 3 wishes. He is the one we have a relationship with.
