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 how you view things?
• I imagine that if the Sadducees believed in the resurrection after this it was with some reluctance! Is it OK to reluctantly believe something the Bibles teaches?

Show

• Share one practical way that you plan to bravely ‘range out into the Bible’, particularly a part of Scripture that you either are unfamiliar with or have deliberately avoided. Pray that God speaks to you powerfully as you do so.
