If you missed the sermon, you can pick it up here: Don’t Argue With God!

What was different about the Passover meal at the ‘last supper’?
As they finished the meal they sang from Psalms 115-118. Take a look at those psalms and pick out anything particularly that might have been poignant for Jesus (knowing He was going to the cross within hours)
We spent a good amount of time looking at Peter’s argument with Jesus about the fact he would deny Jesus. discuss why Peter became so forceful in his argument.
How might we argue with God, bargain with Him, or claim to know better than Him.
Why, when and how might we ever refuse to accept what the Lord is teaching us?

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?
