Mark 9:33-30 Outline
1. Setting

8:31, 8:34, 9:31

2. Christian Tolerance with a wide fellowship v33-41

“He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose” Jim Elliot age 29

Do we have an unconscious bias towards different people?

How might we be generous towards anyone who comes in the name of Jesus?

3. Christian intolerance with a narrow application to the believer v42-50

“My people’s greatest need is my personal holiness” Robert Murray M’Cheyne

Personal review for yourself – ‘Is there anything private or public in my life that would bring dishonour to the church family?’

20th september 2020 - mark 9:14-32 - DEPEND ON the lord

20/9/2020

Mark 9:14-32 Outline
1. The serious problem of the father

How would you feel to be in the father’s situation here?

Is life just a physical battle, what might be the spiritual battles of life?

2. The dead end option for the father
• Himself
• Other people
• Disciples
• Uncertain

Calvin said, ‘Strong faith is very rare, most people have a little faith.’

Do you sympathise with the father in v24?

What is so encouraging about Jesus here?

3. Faith in Jesus is the only option

What and how is the object of your faith? 
How can you help people have faith?
In v7 God said something important, how might it help us with the content of what Jesus encourages v29?

13TH SEPTEMBER 2020 - Mark 9:1-13 - A preview of the future

13/9/2020

 
This week we are looking at Mark 9:1-13, which is all about a preview of the future that Jesus gives to three disciples. I attach a handout to help you focus on the meeting along with some application question to help us with our time together which will also be printed out for you at church along with the relevant bible reading.

Mark 9:1-13 outline
1. A loving Preview
Do we sometimes kid ourselves into thinking if we follow Jesus everything will go well?
Do you think the preview Jesus gave to the three disciples was helpful?
 
2. A Packed Preview
6 days
Peter, James, John
Mountain
Glory state
Moses and Elijah
What verses do you focus your eyes on? How can you more and more?
2 Peter 1:16-19
 
3. A demanding Preview
 
If John Baptist suffered what must we expect for Jesus?….and ourselves?
Is the Christian life costly? Who should we go to if suffering gets too much?

6th september 2020 - mark 8:31-9:1 - why did jesus come?

6/9/2020

Mark 8:31-9:1 outline
 
Introduction
 
Chapters 1 to 8 Who is Jesus?   Chapters 8 to 16 Why did Jesus come?
 
8:31, also  9:31, ‘He said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise.”
10:33-34, “We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles, who will mock him and spit on him, flog him and kill him. Three days later he will rise.”
 
The cross of salvation v31-33
 
 
How might we think along with what Peter said to Jesus in v31?
 
10:45 ‘For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve , and to give his life as a ransom for many.’
 
 
1 Peter 3:18, Peter wrote, ‘For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.’
 
What things might we want to add to the work of Jesus on the cross for us?
 
The cross of discipleship v34-9:1
 
v35
  • The right hands for your soul…
 
v36-37
  • The right mind set…
 
v38
  • The right nerves…
 
Whose hands, mind set and nerve will we trust in? How might we apply these things?
 
Prayer - have you prayed it?
Dear Father God, I know that I am not worthy to be accepted by you. I don’t deserve your gift of eternal life. I am guilty of rebelling against you and ignoring you. I need forgiveness. Thank you for sending your son to die for me that I may be forgiven. Thank you that he rose from the dead to give me new life. Please forgive me and change me, that I may live with Jesus as my ruler. In Jesus name, Amen
(prayer from 2 ways to live)
Confession
 
Most merciful God,
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
we confess that we have sinned in thought, word and deed.
We have not loved you with our whole heart.
We have not loved our neighbours as ourselves.
In your mercy forgive what we have been,
help us to amend what we are, and direct what we shall be;
that we may do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with you, our God.
May the Father of all mercies cleans us form our sins
and restore us in his image to the praise and glory of his name,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
Amen.
 
Assurance : 1 John 1:8-9
8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.
 
Mark 8:31 to 9:1
 
31 Jesus then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again. 32 He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
33 But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. “Get behind me, Satan!” he said. “You do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”
 
34 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 35 For whoever wants to save their life[b] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. 36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? 37 Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
 
And he said to them, “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.”
