Continuing our walk alongside Mark's journey as Christ's disciple, we will be discussing the verses in Mark 10:13-52, and considering just what it means to be like a child, but without childishness in faith. If you are as confounded by that as I am, come join us tomorrow evening at 6:30 to find out what is meant by the words of our Savior.
Details are below - We can't wait to see you there!
These are the questions that we'll be working through together in this week's Community Group. We'll be meeting at the Caylor’s house--27 Lippizan, Saint Peters. Community Group begins at 6:25, and ends at 8:00. Childcare is provided—we'll see you there!
Explore (Digging in to understand the passage)
- What does it mean to receive the kingdom of God as a little child? What keeps “non-children” from entering?
- What do we learn about childlike/nonchildlike faith from the rich young man in verses 17-31? What does the story say about where his faith was fixed?
- Why were the disciples astonished, and the other followers afraid as they went toward Jerusalem? (Verses 32-34) What does this indicate about them on the childlike scale?
- What did James and John (verses 35-45) show that they valued? What did they fail to understand? How would you describe their motivation on the childlike scale?
- What was Bartimaeus' motivation? In what ways did he see more clearly than everyone else in these accounts? How does Jesus respond to him?
