How to Relate to Jesus: The Book of Mark
Discussion questions to help you unpack the message with others.
- What’s the most incredible (or incredibly funny) piece of art you’ve ever created or witnessed?
- What stood out to you most from the message?
- Would you describe yourself as a circle or a line person (or a grace or a truth person)? Why?
- What kinds of lines or circles do you draw in your own life? How do they affect your relationships with the people around you?
- Read Mark 1:15. Which is more difficult for you - crossing the line of repentance, or stepping into the circle of belief? What makes it hard?
- When you hear Jesus’ message, the line he draws and the circle he offers, how do you receive it?
- How do the lines and circles you’ve encountered (or created) in your life compare to the ones Jesus creates?
- What’s one step you can take this week to either cross the line of repentance or embrace belief? Share it with the group.
Prayer
Let’s end with prayer. You can say something like, “Jesus, thank you for telling us the truth. Thank you for the good news you’ve invited us to believe. Build up our faith and help us fully embrace all aspects of you and your message. Amen.”
Bonus Questions
Check these out if you’re on a roll and want to go a little deeper.
- Read Mark 1:16-18. Where have you been following your own directions, rather than the directions of God?
- Where in your life are you unwilling to face the truth? Where is He pressing on you?
- How would your life look differently if you decided to pursue both grace and truth in your relationship with God and your relationships with others?
