[Sunday] Cut Off Your Hand? - Jesus Said What?!
Jesus' challenging words invite us to cut off the very things that are keeping us from Kingdom greatness.
Questions for the Week: Jesus Said What?! - Cut Off Your Hand?!
Can you think of an example, where someone's pride (in their talent, authority, or possessions) had a negative impact on others?
Read Mark 9:33-37. Jesus repeatedly used the example of a child to teach humility, in a culture that viewed children as weak and unimportant. In what ways do you think we still struggle to see value in the "weakest" members of our society or communities?
Read Mark 9:42-50 and Mark 10:17-31. How does the rich young ruler fail to cut off his “hand” or “eye”? What is a "hand" or "foot" in your own life—something you're proud of or cling to—that might be getting in the way of a deeper walk with Jesus and cause harm to your neighbor?
How does seeing Jesus “cut off” for you on the cross change the way you view greatness?

Instead of treating the body as a means for selfish gain, Paul's message points to a greater purpose where our bodies are made into a holy dwelling for God himself.
