This study is based on the sermon: Two Ordinary People

Passover is an important part of the Jewish year – in which ways is it a reminder of history and how is it also prophetic;
In the sermon we looked at Mary’s ‘act of worship’ we had three headings to consider, what were they? Talk them through as a group. In which ways do these challenge you?
In the sermon we also looked at Judas’s ‘act of betrayal’. How could the other disciples not have known?
Judas could have repented even after the accusation in verse 18. Discuss…
Judas’ act was foreknown and even foreordained (cf. Psalm 41:9). Nevertheless, Judas was responsible for his decisions. Discuss.

The sermon this week can be found here: Watch out…. FOR HIM!

The ‘Olivet Discourse’ has been a challenging passage for the preachers – how has it been for you; i.e. have you learnt anything new, disagreed with anything you have heard? been confused or surprised by anything? Talk these things through as a group.
Read Mark 13:21-37.
Watching out for deception has been mentioned a lot, in which ways might we or others be deceived.
The sermon ended with three points of application. Discuss what they were and how as a group and as a church we might help each other with these?
In which other ways should we apply this passage?
