MARK 9:2-8

“Many people who think they know who is, don’t”

“Believing Jesus is is an essential foundational truth to our faith”

 

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

  1. Who’s one of the most famous people you’ve ever met? Share your story. 
  2. In Mark 9, three of Jesus’ disciples meet the most famous one: God on a mountain who shows Himself to be Jesus. Read Mark 8:27-Mark 9:8. What’s your takeaway from this Scripture passage OR what questions do you have? 
  3. In Mark 8:29, Jesus asks his disciples, “Who do you say I am?” Let’s ask the same question: Who do you think Jesus is? What convinces you of that? Or what brought you to that conclusion? 
  4. God says that because Jesus is His Son, we should “listen to Him” (Mark 9:7). Jesus says that if any one of us wants to follow Him we must “deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him” (Mark 8:34). And in Luke, we learn that Jesus meant we should “take up our cross daily” (Luke 9:23). What might following this teaching (“deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow me”) look like? What does this mean for us? 
  5. Pair up. Ask each other how you can pray for them. Pray.
