My friends,
I hope and pray that you will take advantage of this site and the ministry resources that we are starting to provide here. What follows is a series of study questions to use in reading of Mark's Gospel - Chapter 2. Please feel free to join us for discussion on Sunday mornings at 9:00 am.
Mark – Chapter Two
1. Why would Jesus’ home be indicated as being located in Capernaum? (v 2:1)
2. What is unique about the story of the four men who bring the paralytic to Jesus? (v. 2:3-4) Why is this important?
3. What is unusual about what Jesus says to the paralytic? (v. 2:5)
4. Why would Jesus ask if it is easier to tell the man his sins are forgiven or to say “take up your mat and walk”?
5. What is it that causes Levi (Matthew), the tax collector to follow Jesus? (v. 2:14)
6. What is wrong with Jesus eating with the tax collectors?
7. Why does Jesus seem to say that He Is not interested in the righteous? (v.2:17)
8. What does Jesus seem to be teaching about the subject of fasting? (v. 2:18-22)
9. What is the problem with the disciples picking heads of grain on the Sabbath? (v. 2:23-24)
10. Does Sabbath still have meaning for us today? Why or why not?
By the way, aside from Christmas, Easter is the easiest time of the year to invite people to visit our church. Please take the opportunity to invite a few of your family, friends and neighbors.
Have a blessed week.
Pastor Dmitri
