This week we are getting back into the Gospel according to Mark. Mark’s gospel was written to justify and explain why Jesus has the right to call everyone to repentance, faith, and discipleship. In the first 8 chapters, Jesus established his authority through his ministry that is mostly in Galilee. Chapters 8-10 describe Jesus on the way to Jerusalem and the cross. This morning we are looking at Jesus teaching about servant leadership.
Questions for Discussion:
- How can we tell if we are self-centred in our service?
- What did the disciples misunderstand about who Jesus was? What do many people today misunderstand about who Jesus was?
- In what ways do you think we can be tempted to follow the world with regards to leadership in the church?
- How does Jesus example change the way we should think about greatness?
- Is there a problem with doing good things for the wrong reasons? Why?
