Questions for the week
Describe a time when you’ve said all the right things, but been completely wrong?
Read Mark 9:14-29. What are the disciples unable to do?
What does Jesus do? What does He say about why the disciples couldn’t do it?
How have you been mistaken about Jesus in your life? How can Jesus reorient your thinking about him through humbleness and prayer?
Bible study explored the Gospel of Mark, discussing its three-act structure, Jesus’ identity as the true Son of God, and how His upside-down kingdom—revealed through parables, miracles, and His passion—confronts evil, forgives sins, and calls us to sacrificial discipleship.

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.
