If you were unable to be with us on Sunday you can listen to this sermon here.
Mark 8:27-38
1. If your closest friends were asked what word best describes you, what would they say?
2. Why is the question, "Who do you say that I am?" so important? How would you answer this question if Jesus put it to you? How has your answer changed over the years?
3. How did Peter go from 'gold star teacher's pet' to being in the doghouse? Why do you think Jesus reacted so strongly?
4. What comes to mind when you hear 'deny yourself?' Can you recall a time when you felt called to deny yourself but chose not to? What was the result? How did you 'rationalize' your decision?
5. Can you recall a time when you responded obediently to a call to 'deny yourself?' What was the result? How did that impact your relationship with God?
6. Jesus calls us to 'follow me.' Do you believe you are more an admirer of Christ or a follower of Christ? Why?
7. What is the scariest part for you in contemplating submitting more of your life to Christ? What do you believe it will require of you? Why do you fear this would be too much for you?
