    GETTING TO KNOW ME

    What is something that you are earnestly praying for right now?

    INTO THE BIBLE
    1. What were the main points of the sermon? How do these offer encouragement to you?
    2. Read Mark 4:35-41. Discuss how fear can get a foothold in our lives.
    3. Read Philippians 4:6-8. What does Paul say here? How does it relate to fear?
    4. Read Mark 5:1-20. Rummage around in Mark. How many demon stories can you find?
    5. Discuss the common theme in each of these stories:
      • Why is the realm of demons generally ignored by Western Christians?
    6. What are ways some Christians can overly emphasize demons in their daily lives?
    7. Read Mark 5:21-43. Read out loud any footnotes that your study Bible may offer.
    8. Why does Jesus say twice in this section, “Who touched Me?” What is Mark getting at?
    9. Does the Bible always promise physical healing? Why? Why not? (Texts to consider: Exodus 4:11; Luke 13:10-13; John 5:7-8, 9:1-12; Psalm 119:67, 71; James 5:13-16. Compare Isaiah 53:4 and Matthew 8:17).
      10. APPLICATION

      • What is an area in which you have experienced the authority of Jesus?

      • If you are saved, have you been baptized after your conversion? How does your answer demonstrate your view of Jesus’ authority in your life?

      GETTING TO KNOW ME

      Did someone ever give you a second chance? Who was it, and why?

      INTO THE BIBLE
      1. What exactly is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? Read Matthew 12:31-37.
    11. Why is this sin unforgivable?
    12. Read Ezekiel 8:6 and John 19:8-11. In light of these verses and Mark 3:29, discuss whether or not there are degrees of sin. Use Scripture to support your answer.
    13. Will there be degrees of punishment in Hell? Why or why not, biblically?
    14. Read Mark 3:13-34 out loud together, dividing up sections among the group.
    15. What were the main points of the sermon?
    16. Read Mark 4:10, Isaiah 6:8-13, and Romans 9:16-18.
      • Why did Jesus use parables? How does this differ from many people’s perception?
      • Why does God sovereignly “close” the ears and eyes of some people?
      • Is it fair that God has mercy on some and hardens others? Why or why not?
      • Why is community such a big deal? Why is it so difficult to find in Western culture?
      • Read Mark 4:10-12. Discussion how God uses preaching to soften some to the gospel—and to harden others.
      • Read Mark 4:1-34. From these stories, discuss what the Kingdom of God is like. How does Jesus describe it? What kinds of metaphors does He use?
        • APPLICATION

        Are you saved? If so, what do you look forward to most on the New Earth?

        • Read Mark 2:7. How was their reason correct here? Who was Jesus claiming to be?

        • Why are the claims of Jesus a big deal? (Read John 8:24.) What’s at stake?
        • Discuss how people misunderstand the doctrine of justification: declared forgiven of all sins—past, present, and future—and forever secure in God’s love and grace.
        • In Mark 2:23-3:6, Jesus refers to the Sabbath several times. What is this? (Read Exodus 20:8-11.)
          • What parts of the Jewish Sabbath no longer apply?
          • What aspect still applies to all Christians? Why? How?
