FURTHER DISCUSSION

What might you notice about the

way Jesus handles conflict and

what can we learn from His

approach?

Do you ever think about Jesus’

authority? Why or why not? How

does authority work with following

Jesus?

What questions might come up

regarding tax paying (vs. 13-17), life

in eternity (vs. 18-27) and giving

offerings (vs. 41-44)?

Mark 11:1 - 25

FURTHER DISCUSSION

Are there some things (practices,

attitudes) that have become

ritualistic (i.e. lacking real fruit) in

the modern church? What might

they be?

How does the modern church

sometimes look like a business

and how can we avoid this?

What might it look like for the

modern church – our church – to

be a house of prayer?

How do we understand faith in

light of vs. 22 – 24?

FURTHER DISCUSSION

How would you describe what

humans are in bondage to? What

all might encompass the “empty

way of life” in verse 18?

What do you think it means to be

redeemed? Why are perishable

things inadequate to redeem us?

Why is it important to regularly

remind ourselves of the cost Jesus

paid?

FURTHER DISCUSSION

What is your initial response when

you consider Jesus coming as

King, Savior, Lord?

Are there other “gifts” or

expressions that we can give to

God beyond worship, obedience,

life, heart? How are these similar

and how are they more distinct?

How can we encourage one

another to truly give these things

to God?
