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?

If you missed the sermon, you can pick it up here: Jesus says: ‘what do you want me to do for you?’

The disciples were wanting to assume top position in the Kingdom of Jesus. What was the Lord’s response and how can we learn from their misguided attitude and apply it to ourselves in these days.
Imagine the excitement at Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem. Think of the anticipation of the crowds and disciples. Discuss the messianic and prophetic significance of that Palm Sunday.
Jesus gives sight to Bartimaeus. What are the spiritual and practical lessons we can learn from him. If you have time discuss the word hodos (to follow the way).

Here is the sermon in case you missed it: God’s Plan For Marriage and Family

Read the passage then think of other places in the Old and New Testament where relationships play a central role.(Examples you might use in addition to those mentioned in the sermon: 1 Corinthians 7, Matthew 19, Song of Solomon, Colossians 3 etc.).
In the light of those passages you’ve discussed, how would you answer the 2 questions posed by a) the Pharisees (v2) and b) Jesus (v3)?
Turn to Genesis 1 v 27 (a).What was God’s plan for men and women? Is it any different today? Discuss the complexities that the world brings to this discussion.
What is the point of marriage? Why are some of us called to be single ?(Paul offers plenty on this).What are the main challenges for Christian single people and married couples in 2018?
The disciples had lots more questions for Jesus (v 10). We will also be faced with questions from believers/non-believers. What advice should we be giving to : a)those about to marry; b)those divorcing/divorced; c)those attracted to people of the same sex?
Pray together using Colossians 3 v 12-18 about the body of Christ as a lead in.
