Mark 10
10/20/24 • 48 min
This morning we welcome Colin McCartney of Connect City to our community to share a teaching on Mark 10, specifically the portion about Jesus welcoming the children. There is also a brief Question-and-Response portion after the teaching with Colin and Sarah Lyew. You may notice that we've gone out of order again. That's alright! We'll come back to Mark 8 and Mark 9 in subsequent weeks.
Home Church Questions:
1. Colin offered the following quotation from Neil Postman: "Children are the living messages we send to a future we will not see." What does this mean? How can it inform the way that we think about our present moment?
2. What stood out to you from Sunday's teaching?
3. Read Mark 10:13-16 (ideally in multiple translations). What stands out to you from this passage?
4. Why do you think the disciples tried to turn the kids away?
5. What are some ways in which we try to keep Jesus all to ourselves?
6. Why do you think Jesus was indignant?
7. What does it look like to have a church that belongs to the next generation?
8. What does it look like to bless generations that come after us? In other words, what does it look like to build a church for our great grandkids? What kind of church do you hope to leave behind?

Mark 7
Today, Sarah Lyew takes us through Mark 7 paying special attention to the strange story of the syrophoenician woman. Why did Jesus initially decline to heal her daughter? What can we learn about our own callings through this story?
Please find the slide deck for this week's teaching here.
Home Church Questions:
1. When you hear the word “purpose” what do you think of?
2. Can you think of a company that lost its purpose/why? Did it grow their company?
3. Why is purpose helpful? Where would it hurt?
4. Read Mark 7:24-30. What stood out to you? After listening to Sarah’s teaching, did the story make sense?
5. Jesus could have done a lot of things with His time on earth. From what you know of the gospels and Jesus, what would you say Jesus’s purpose was? Why do you think that’s what he was focused on?
6. What is essential for someone to know their purpose?
7. Sarah suggested that you have a place in the Kindgom where your wiring and purpose matter. It can change with the seasons and as you grow, but that you have a gifts and a story that when combined with purpose can allow the church to carry out its purpose. Do you believe that? How would your closest person describe your gifting? Your purpose?
8. Do you feel like you have a place to use your gifting in the Kingdom? What would that look like?
This week, are there some spots in your life where you need some clarity? Do you know your gifts? Your passion? Take some time to journal and reflect on questions you have about yourself and where Jesus’s invitation into the Kingdom is for you.
