Community Meditation

Growing in Knowledge

  • Discuss how the Exodus narrative shapes the back drop for Jesus' story here in Mark. We will be studying the major themes in Exodus in the Advent season. Encourage devotional reading Genesis - Exodus.

Feeling Life Deeply

  • Which characters in the story of the unfolding Passion do you recognize with? One of them? All of them? Have you ever felt like Judas, the women, the disciples talking about the wasteful spending, Peter's bravado?

Living with Courage

  • If God's purpose is to redeem sinners, how does this shape our view of other people? Who do you need to see in a more gracious light? Yourself? Friends? Family? How can we extend the hope of the gospel to them?
