March 11, 2022Mark 16v1-8 "Jesus has Risen"
Speaker: Taylor Knudsvig
Discussion Questions:
Why does it matter whether or not Jesus rose from the dead?

Based upon what Jesus told His disciples earlier in Mark 8v31-33, Mark 9v30-32, & Mark 10v32-34, where would we expect to find the disciples after Jesus died? What are the disciples found doing according to Mark 16v10, and why is this significant?

Why is Mark 16:7 significant, and more specifically, why is Peter mentioned by name?

How does this passage help you to love, trust, and worship Jesus more fully?
