Previous Lessons: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
No new lesson in Mark today since I’m still teaching Vacation Bible School at church, so I thought we could use this week to review.
If there are any lessons you already know you’d like to go back and spend more time on, homework assignments you haven’t gotten to yet, or chapters of Mark you’d like to re-read, go for it with a “freestyle” review time. If not, here are a few questions and items to springboard your review time.
Review Questions
What are some of the things you’ve learned about the nature and character of Christ, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit?
Give some examples of how Christ demonstrated His authority, power, compassion, divinity, and identifying with His people.
Imagine you’re one of the disciples – such as Peter, James, or John – who will go on to play an important part in the establishment of the New Testament church. What have you learned thus far, serving with Jesus, that will equip you for later ministry?
Imagine you’re a first century Gentile (with little knowledge of the Old Testament or the promised Messiah) reading Mark’s gospel for the first time. What questions would you have about Jesus? What, in chapters 1-7, is surprising to you? What do you find difficult, or easy, to believe?
What was the scribes’ and Pharisees’ main beef with Jesus? How did Jesus attempt to correct them? What can we learn from them and their beliefs not to do in the church today?
