The Servant King - Mark 14.1-14
03/03/2019 Duración: 26minWeekly Podcast from Cornerstone Wesleyan Church, North Gower, Ontario www.knowgrowshow.ca Passage Mark 14:1-14 The One Thing Do you recognize the King? Know Have you ever not recognized someone you should have known the identity of? Or have you ever mistaken someone for someone else? Tell us the story. Grow Read Mark 14:1-11: What is the value of celebrating feasts and festivals? What are the most important celebrations for Christians? What was the costliest offering you have ever made to Jesus? Mary didn’t care about social taboos or personal embarrassment when she worshiped Jesus. How can we follow her example today? Mary’s critics said that the value of her gift exceeded the limit of what should be spent on Jesus. How are we today similar to those critics? Did Jesus dismiss His followers from taking care of the poor? What is the biblical evidence for you answer? In Luke 14:27-28 Jesus says a person should “calculate the cost” of becoming a disciple. Here we learn that true love never calcul

The Servant King - Mark 13.14-37
24/02/2019 Duración: 34minWeekly Podcast from Cornerstone Wesleyan Church, North Gower, Ontario www.knowgrowshow.ca The Passage Mark 13:14-37 The One Thing Our soul’s greatest threat isn’t suffering. It’s sleeping. Know If you knew that your house was about to explode in 60 seconds, what 2 things (not children) would you grab on your way out? Grow Read 13:29 and then read 13:32. 29 seems to indicate that we can know when the end will come. Verse 32 seems to reject that we can know. Any thoughts about how we can reconcile these two verses? Read 13:32. We believe that God is a Triune God – three persons, one God. But here we read that God the Father can know something which God the Son does not know. Trying figuring that one out! Any thoughts? What does verse 35 tells us about how should be approaching our ambitions and our possessions, even our lives? What is one thing that we can do to narrow the gap between how we are living and the fact that God is the owner and He is returning? Read 13:36. What might it mean for God to

The Servant King - Mark 13.3-13
18/02/2019 Duración: 38minThe One Thing Resist fear. Resist complacency. Be prepared. The Passage Mark 13:3-13 Know What’s your response to the well-used phrase “God won’t give you more than you can handle?” Agree? Disagree? Grow In 13:4 the disciples wanted to know when Jesus’ prophecy will come true. Would you rather know ahead of time if something bad is going to happen to you or not? When considering the future, particularly the end times, are you at more risk of being fearful or complacent? Why do you think this is? Read Acts 8:9-11. Simon the Sorcerer was a false messiah. What do false messiahs look like today? How can we identify them and avoid being deceived? Perhaps we won’t be flogged in the synagogues (13:9), but what kinds of sacrifices might we have to make “on account of Jesus”? What parts of the world do you know where Christians are having to pay this kind of physical price? When you hear statistics like 37 million Christians were undergoing significant persecution in 2018, what’s your response? What, if

The Servant King - Mark 12.38-13.2Hey
11/02/2019 Duración: 32minWeekly Podcast from Cornerstone Wesleyan Church, North Gower, Ontario www.knowgrowshow.ca The Passage Mark 12:38-13:2 The One Thing Trusting in God will outlives temples for God. Every time. Forever. Know Other than rock, paper, scissors, what other games did you play as a child with your siblings or friends? Grow What do you want to have written on your headstone when you die? In other words, how do you define success for yourself? As the widow made her offering that day, what expression do see on her face? Explain your answer. The scribes looked like they had it all. So did the wealthy people. And we’d have probably pitied the widow. Why would we have been wrong? 12:43 Jesus called the disciples over to check out what he was seeing. What was it about the widow that got Him so excited? John Wesley lived on 28 pounds a year, even though his earnings went from 30 pounds a year to 120 pounds a year. The rest he gave away. What do you think about this philosophy of living? How do you see it reflec

03/02/2019 Duración: 30minWeekly Podcast from Cornerstone Wesleyan Church, North Gower, Ontario www.knowgrowshow.ca The One Thing We love best as power cords. The Scripture Mark 12:28-37 growgroup Questions Know Have you ever been faced with an impossible decision or task? What was it and how did you handle it? Grow Which of the Ten Commandments do you consider the most important? Why? Books and movies often tell us that love is the supreme virtue. How does their definition of love often fall short of the Bible’s emphasis? Mark 12:29 - Why is it important that God is “One”? Why did this cause the Jews to resist Jesus’ claims to be divine? In what way is the command to love God completely more difficult than the Ten Commandments? What do “heart, soul, mind, and strength” represent individually and collectively? How would you respond to the person who says, “Jesus is telling us we need to learn how to love ourselves first and then to love others”? If we are part of God’s family, connected to His power station of love

27/01/2019 Duración: 30minWeekly Podcast from Cornerstone Wesleyan Church, North Gower, Ontario www.knowgrowshow.ca The Passage Mark 12.18-27 The One Thing When our Bible is incomplete, so is our view of God. Know Share one of your favourite verses in the Bible. Why is it so special to you? Grow Share your response to Thomas Jefferson editing the Bible. What did he cut out? What motivated him to do this? What parts of the Bible are you prone to ignore / avoid? Why do you think this is? What do we miss out on when we limit our reading to certain parts of the Bible? Dan said that our passage today indicates that there won’t be marriage or sexual relations in heaven. What are your feelings about this? What does this tell us about heaven? The Sadducees only believed in the first 5 books of the Bible. And they didn’t believe in the after-life (resurrection). From a verse in this part of the Bible (Exodus 3:6) Jesus proved that the after-life was true. Have you ever had a familiar passage surprise you like that and change

The Servant King - Mark 12.13-17
20/01/2019 Duración: 29minThe one thing Jesus came to turn image bearers into message sharers. The passage Mark 12:13-17 group questions Know Dan said in Wales to say “She’s / he’s the spit of you” means “She / he looks just like you”. What characteristics (physical or personality) have you inherited from either your parents or others who raised you? Grow Read James 1:19. Instead of responding to the hypocrisy of the Herodians and Pharisees (Dan called them the “Heresies”) with anger, Jesus paused, gave Himself some space and asked a question. How might this advice be helpful for you when dealing with conflict in your life? Read Romans 13:1-2. Jesus says to “give unto Caesar what is Caesar’s”. As Christians, what does being a good citizen of Canada look like? How should we respond when our ethics (based on the Bible) are opposed to the government’s perspective? Can you think of an example where this tension exists today? What does it mean to you that you are an image bearer of God? If you were in Rome-occupied Israel, would y

Grow Put yourself in Isaac Jogues’ position. Consider his mind and heart. Consider his thoughts. What drove him to return to a place and people group that he knew 100% were very dangerous? Could you do what he did? Israel killed the prophets God sent. In what way are we guilty of killing the prophets? of crucifying Christ? If your attempts to get people to fulfilltheir contractual obligations had been violently refused, what would you do? What was the logic of the father in the parable in sending his only son? What was the motivation for God to send His only Son? What did the tenant farmers think they would gain from killing the landlord’s son? What did the Jewish leaders hope to gain by killing Jesus? What did they in fact accomplish?
