GETTING TO KNOW ME

What kind of criticism of Jesus bothers you the most? Why?    

INTO THE BIBLE
  1. Read Mark 1:14-15.
  • How do these verses capture the theme of Mark’s Gospel?
  • What is the gospel? What are common false gospels?
  • What does it mean to repent?
  • Read Matthew 3:8. What does it mean to “produce fruit”?
  • How would you explain how to be saved to someone in fewer than 30 words?
  • Read Mark 11:27-33.
    • What are the four ways people reject Jesus according to the message?
  • Who were 1) the chief priests, 2) the teachers of the Law, 3) the elders?
  • Discuss how and where Mark’s Gospel emphasizes the authority of Jesus over all things.
  • Read the four responses we see to Jesus in this extended section. Which is closest to you?
  • Read Mark 12:13, 18. Who were the 1) Pharisees, 2) Herodians, 3) Sadducees?
  • Read Mark 12:24.
    • Why is ignorance of the Bible so dangerous?
  • Read Psalm 119:9-16. How do we develop this kind of attitude toward God’s Word?
  • Read 2 Timothy 3:16-17. Discuss how God’s Word is profitable; be specific with examples.
  • What are your Bible reading/study habits?
  • What kind of Bible reference tools have you found helpful?
  • Jesus quotes Psalm 110 in Mark 12:6. (Note: Psalm 110 is the most-quoted chapter of the Old Testament in the New Testament.) Read this Psalm and discuss how it applies to Jesus.
  • Read Mark 12:38-44.
    • Discuss the contrast Jesus draws here between the teachers and the poor widow.
  • What does this mean: “Such men will be punished most severely”? Where? How?
  • What were the “two small copper coins”? How much were they worth?
    • Why is pride one of the worst sins?
