[Sunday] Mark 2-3 | Bringing Down the House - Revealing True Power
Questions for the week
Think of a time when it was difficult for you to forgive someone. What emotions did you feel as you wrestled with what it meant to forgive them?
Read Mark 2:1-12. If you were busy and someone broke into your home to be healed, how would you respond? How does Jesus respond?
Why do scribes get angry? When have you gotten angry in a similar situation?
How does Jesus bring restoration to the paralyzed man?
Read the rest of Mark 2 and 3. How does Jesus restore different people back to God in each of the stories?
Virtually every life transforming event recorded in Scripture includes a journey, a process the people involved go through that leads to insight, transformation and new life for all willing to engage that journey. The journey always includes elements of sacrifice, worship, trust and faith. Christmas is about Jesus making the journey from heaven to earth, for the Magi it was the journey from wisdom to humility. For us, it is a journey to wonder and new life.
