This week's update

Hi here's this week's update, sorry for the lapse in posts:

Read Mark 14:1-72
Mark tells us about Jesus' last night with is disciples, and his trial by the Jewish court, the Sanhedrin. How to we know from Mark's account that Jesus' death was not a mistake or accident?

Jesus knew that it was his mission to die. Does that mean that death was easy for him? (see Mark 14:33-36; 15:34)

Read Mark 15:1-16:8
At the moment that Jesus died, something happened in the temple on the other side of the city (Mark 15:38). What happened.

Mark 14:50, we see the disciples deserting Jesus. In Mark 14:66-72 we see Peter repeatedly disowning him. Given all that Jesus had said about his death, why do you think they responded like this?

A Roman centurion was in charge of the crucifixion. What did he say when Jesus died? (Mark 15:39)? Why was it surprising?

Grace is when god treats us in the opposite way to what we deserve. It is something we don't deserve. Peter disowned Jesus 3 times. How do you think Peter would have felt when he was given the message of Mark 16:7? Why?

This Week's Update

Nate Bramsen will be stopping by SG this week and he's agreed to speak at Bethesda Hall Depot Walk.
Meeting will start at 3pm, 1st March 2014.

Background Information on Brother Nate Bramsen:

Nate Bramsen was born and raised in Senegal, West Africa. At the age of 16, he saw the opportunity to invest his life into the abused, neglected, and abandoned children of this world for both the sake of time and eternity. After graduating from North Greenville University (South Carolina) with a degree in Business and Broadcasting, he headed to the Middle East to begin pioneer work among this demographic of children.
In December of 2006, he founded ROCK International. (www.rockintl.org) ROCK is a non-profit organization seeking to be the "lap of Jesus" (as demonstrated in Mark 9:36-37) for children trapped in situations of crisis. Now, he oversees various international development projects, youth discipleship ministries, and carries out a limited itinerant speaking schedule. His heart is to see this generation become unconditional followers of Jesus Christ.
Today, he calls North Africa "home". On the side, he enjoys coaching swimming, bungee jumping, and exploring the world. Ultimately, he has but one passion, one goal, one prize. Christ.

This Week's Update

Hello everyone!

Hope you all have enjoyed last week's Sisters' Appreciation Night as much as the guys enjoyed preparing for it. Here are the questions for this week :)

Part A 
(Follow up questions from the last time)
Read Mark 8:30-10:52
Jesus directly foretold of his own death and resurrection three times (Mark 8:31, 9:31 and 10:33-34).
What does he say 'must' and 'will' take place?

In Mark 8:31 Jesus said he 'must' die. Why is this so? (See Mark 10:45)

What did Jesus say that following him involves? (See Mark 8:34)

Each time Jesus foretells his own death and resurrection, Mark takes note the disciples' response - or its absence. (See Mark 8:32-33, 9:32-35; 20:35-45). How did the disciples react in each case?

In Mark 8:29 Peter acknowledges that Jesus is the Christ, God's only chosen King. In Mark 8:32, Peter took Jesus aside and rebuked him. Peter did not treat Jesus as God's King.
How do you think you have treated Jesus?
How would you feel about Jesus being King  in every area of you life?

Any questions about Mark 8:30-10:52?

Part B
Read Mark 15:42-47
How did Pilate, the Roman governor, discover that Jesus died (see verses 44-45)?

Where was Jesus buried?

Read Mark 16:1-8
Why did the women go to Jesus' tomb (verse 1)?

What were they thinking about as they approached the tomb (see verses 2-3)?

What did they discover when they arrived at the tomb (see verses 4-6)?

The empty tomb should not have surprised the women. Why not? (Refer to Mark 15:7 and 14:38)

In the following verses, what did Jesus say he came to do?
Mark 8:31
Mark 9:30-31
Mark 10:32-34

Why did Jesus have to die and rise again? (Mark 10:45)

What does this resurrection show us about Jesus?
