Mark 5:21-43 – A Bible Study

Keith Waters Bible Studies 15th April 201815th April 2018#newconnexions, bible, faith, healing, hope, Jesus, love, mercy, new connexions, scripture, truth 0 Comment

This study is based on Mark 5:21-43 and Misha’s sermon: Reach out and touch

What does Jairus attitude tell us about him, and what can we learn and apply to our lives v 22-23?
Try to put yourselves in the place of the woman with the illness, how would you have felt approaching Jesus?
In what every day situations might we have to put our faith and trust in the Lord?
How does Jesus react when He arrives at the house of Jairus in contrast to the gathering who were there?
We don’t hear of Jairus and this lady again in scripture but how do you think the rest of their lives were impacted by this event?

Every now and then, in this crazy society we live, I think we need reminding of this:

“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronising nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”

Bible Study – Mark 2:1-12

A study based on the sermon: Called to bring the roof down!

In verse 1 it says Jesus came home, but Jesus home was in Nazareth; why does Mark say this?
Verse 2: What was Jesus preaching to the people? What should we preach to people and what happens if we preach something different?
Verses 3&4: discuss the faith these men had and the effect their faith had on the different people around i.e. the paralysed man, Jesus, the four friends, the religious leaders, others in the house.
How should this impact our own faith and our own approach to bringing people to Jesus?
Verse 5: Jesus forgives the man’s sin – what does that mean?
Verses 6-12: Jesus proves His authority, what do His words and actions prove? How should that impact our lives?

A Study on Mark 1:21-45 based on the sermon: Authority!

Imagine the scene in the in the Synagogue as Jesus joins the regular crowd. What was different about the way He taught?
Discuss Demons, being possessed and what that means. Are Christians possessed? Discuss your answers.
Why don’t we hear of people being possessed today?
We see Jesus healing many people. Does He still heal today? If so why isn’t everyone healed?
Talk through the lepers request, Jesus response and the Lepers response to being healed.
