[Sunday] Await the Nativity
Questions for the week
Describe a time when you were so focused on perfection but were actually just shallowly covering up your faults?
Read 2 Kings 20:12-19. Why is Isaiah upset with Hezekiah? What have they tried too hard to be like?
In what ways have you sought pride, power, and prestige trying to be like Babylon?
Read Isaiah 13:6-16, 14:1. The day of the Lord comes to call us from pride, power, and prestige. How does the day of the Lord bring about God’s wrath as well as his compassion (hint: connect this to Jesus on the cross)?

On May 20, 2026, our class walked through Mark 2:27–28 and Mark 3:1–35—Jesus’ authority over Sabbath, surging crowds and the boat, the naming and mission of the Twelve, accusations and the “house divided” teaching, binding the strong man, blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, and redefining true family—while reflecting on discernment, the Church’s mission, practical wisdom in Old Testament laws, and previewing the Parable of the Sower.

This week, our study of Mark chapters 2 and 3 explored Jesus's authority to forgive, heal, and redefine righteousness as he calls a controversial tax collector and challenges the Pharisees' traditions about the Sabbath.
Stop exhausting yourself trying to earn God's favor through frantic human religion, and learn from Mount Carmel what it means to simply trust in what Christ has already bought.
