Weekly Questions

Here are this week’s questions. Please think over them, discuss them at home, and discuss them here on the blog. If you have any questions, or you are not sure what these questions mean, I would be happy to clarify.  This week the questions come from Mark 2:18-22:

• Why do you think most people have a hard time accepting change?  Can you think of an example when you had to adapt to change?

• What is the message of the “old way?”

              -man centered/works based salvation

• What is the message of the “new way” that Jesus proclaimed?

              -salvation through divine grace

• Can you describe what it means to fast?

• Why would a person fast?

              -repentance, sorrow, and always with prayer

• Why were John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fasting?

• In what ways do we sometimes fall back into the message of the “old way?”
