Discipleship Questions.
1. In the 1st century, to say that Jesus was Lord was to also say that Caesar was not. Take a moment to identify what rival “lords” exist in your own life.
2. How does the divine inspiration of the Scriptures affect the way you relate to passages in the Bible that you don’t understand or don’t like?
3. Mark tells us that many in the temple heard Jesus gladly. What are some reasons that the lordship of Jesus is good news?
4. In what sense is the announcement of Jesus’ Lordship a threat?

Discipleship Questions. 1. Of the evidence provided to support the resurrection account (empty tomb, personal encounters, appearing to large crowds) which do you find most compelling? Why? What questions do you have regarding the resurrection of Jesus? 2. Mark tells us that the disciples were very reluctant to believe the Jesus had risen. How can this fact encourage you in your own discipleship? 3. Mark stressed the importance of belief and baptism. Why is baptism so important? What does it mean? 4. Jesus promised that he would help his church. How did he fulfill that promise in the book of Acts? How have you seen Jesus help his church in your own life?

Discipleship Questions 1. Have you ever lost a close friend or dearly loved family member? How did you feel? How might your own experience provide insight to how Jesus’ friends felt after his crucifixion? 2. Read 1 Corinthians 15:14 & 17. Why do you loose the gospel when you loose the resurrection? 3. Jesus plainly told his disciples multiple times that he would be crucified and would rise on the third day. Why do you think they were so slow to believe? What does this teach us about the nature of our own hearts? 4. Why do you think the two Mary’s responded to the resurrection with trembling, fear, and astonishment?

Discipleship Questions 1. The crucifixion is the world’s verdict against God. What does the verdict reveal about the world and the way it sees God? 2. Why do you think the manner of Jesus’ death lead to the centurions confession? 3. Multiple times, Jesus was offered a drink that would have eased his suffering. Each time, he refused. Why do you think he chose not to receive what was offered? 4. What is the significance of the curtain tearing? Read Hebrews 9 for helpful insights.
