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?

A Study on Mark 4:21-34 based on the sermon The Kingdom of God

Discuss your understanding of the reasons why Jesus began to speak in parables?
Read vs 21-25 In this parable how do you understand the imagery of the lamp and what does this mean for Christians today?
Why is it important for us to “consider carefully what we hear”? What are the consequences of doing or not doing this?
Read vs 26-29 Once the seed (God’s word) has been sown, is that the end of our responsibility? If not, what else can we do to enable the seed to bear fruit?
Read vs 30-34 Consider the size of the church when these words were spoken and how far it has spread in the following centuries.
Discuss what you consider are the greatest threats to church growth today?

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.”
