Exodus 20:1-7

Katie picks up with the first three of the Ten Commandments (or Ten Words). We examine the terms of the relationship God lays out with his people, and especially the beautiful exclusivity, through the lens of marriage.

Discussion Questions:

1. ICEBREAKER: What was the best summer of your life? What made it special?
2. DIGGING DEEPER: What is currently competing with God for your trust, affection, or allegiance?
3. DIGGING DEEPER: What might it look like this week to respond to God not out of obligation, but in love as someone who is already loved and chosen?
4. Pray with one another.

Continuing our series through Exodus, Nate takes us through an examination of the description of God on either side of his speaking out of the Ten Commandments. We discus the fear of the Lord.

Discussion Questions:

1. ICEBREAKER: What is something you have a fear of? (healthy or otherwise)
2. DIGGING DEEPER: How does this line up with your understanding of the “fear of the Lord”?
3. DIGGING DEEPER: Does the description of God (or relationship with God) in this passage strike fear in you?
4. DIGGING DEEPER: Are you willing to commit to God in a similar sense, despite fear being appropriate?
5. Pray with one another.

Mark 15:21-16:8

As we celebrate Resurrection Sunday, Katie brings us a message of the climax of Mark's gospel - Jesus' death and resurrection.

Discussion Questions:

1. When was the last time you felt like you were "trembling and bewildered"?
2. Have you ever been in a situation where you were completely dependant on outside help to get you through? What was that situation like? 
3. If Jesus truly is the Son of God, resurrected from the dead and alive and active right now, what difference does that make in this world? What difference does that make to you?

Mark 11:1-21

What kind of King is Jesus, really? In this week's message, Katie explores Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem in Mark 11, revealing a King who comes not with domination, but with humility, justice, and sacrificial love. As Jesus confronts the temple and redefines God’s dwelling place, we’re invited to become a people who embody his upside-down kingdom, marked by peace, welcome, and unity.  

Discussion Questions:

1. How would you describe Jesus as portrayed in Mark to someone who had never heard of him?
2. Are there any areas in your life where you have built or participated in keeping up a "wall of hostility"?
3. How might Jesus challenge you regarding this?

Mark 10:32-45 "The Upside-Down Gospel"

How does Jesus' idea of glory differ from ours and that of His disciples? And what does Jesus say about leadership? Makaela unpacks how Jesus' glory can be found not only in His life but also His death; applying this to how we lead and live.

Listen to the end for a short message from Pastor Mike Labun from Abbotsford Vineyard Church about upcoming 24/7 prayer.

Mark 9:2-29

What does the glory of God actually look like? This week Katie explores the Transfiguration in Mark 9, revealing how God’s glory is seen most clearly in Jesus—not through power or dominance, but through compassion, humility, and self-giving love—and how we are invited to follow Him in that same path.

Discussion Questions:

1. What does the Transfiguration reveal about who Jesus really is, especially compared to Moses and Elijah?
2. Can you think of any times where someone has reached out a hand to help you stand? Do you have experiences of God doing this for you? 
3. How might God be inviting you to reach out a hand to help someone else stand this week?

Mark 8:27-38

This week we focus on Jesus' question to His disciples: "who do you say that I am?" and, ultimately, Peter's confession of Jesus as the Christ. What does it mean for Jesus to be the Christ? How might it look different to what they had been expecting?

Discussion Questions:

1. Why do you think the disciples struggled so much with the idea of a suffering messiah? Do you also struggle with this idea?
2. Is there a situation in your life right now where following Jesus might require laying something down? How can you be with Jesus in the midst of that situation, so as to become more like him?

Mark 3:1-6: "Do Not Harden Your Hearts"

This week Katie reflects on Jesus’ anger and grief in Mark 3 as He confronts hardened hearts and heals a man on the Sabbath. We’re invited to examine where fear of losing power, control, prestige or influence may harden our own hearts and to respond to Jesus’ invitation to stretch out our hands to him, and keep our hearts tender.

Discussion Questions:

1. Do you tend to think of Jesus as an emotional person? Why or why not? 
2. Are there any areas of your heart that may have grown hard? How so? And how might God be calling you to soften?
