Why might it be that Jesus used spit on both these men, when no other healing account before this mentions Jesus using spit? Why this time?Why did it take “two goes” for Jesus to heal the blind man in Mark 8:25?Have you ever had a moment of crisis in your faith? Perhaps you were already saved, but this crisis moment did a ‘decisive work’ in your spirit? Talk about it.In both healing accounts (Mark 7 and Mark 8), Jesus gets the people alone, away from the crowd. Read Matthew 6:6 – why is the ‘secret place’ such an important place for the follower of Jesus?- Is the entrance way to your secret place with God well-trodden or dusty through lack of use?
Think of some real-life things that prevent us from regularly meeting Jesus in the quiet. Share with your group.Read Romans 8:23-27. Note how often the word “groan” is used and the context. How does this passage help us understand Jesus’ groan or sigh in Mark 7:34?Have you ever groaned in your prayer life? As much as you are able, share with the group what that was like.How do you know if your current spiritual vision is all it should be? How do you know if you are seeing clearly?Why is it vital that we keep coming back to Jesus and allowing Him to keep healing us and restoring us?- This week pray Ephesians 1:17-19 over those in your growgroup and for others close to you.
