Jesus calls the Temple a “marketplace.” Why is he so angry? What can we learn from his anger? (John 2:16)

In what ways do you sometimes argue with Jesus’ priorities and values? Why? What helps you stop? (Mark 8:31-33)

Following his baptism, the Spirit drove Jesus into the wilderness. Where is the Spirit driving you this season?

Peter, James and John saw Jesus on the mountain top. Where do you see Jesus? (Mark 9:2-9)

What is your “deserted place” where you escape the crowds and/or communicate with God? (Mark 1:35) 

We hope you have a wonderful holiday season with friends, family and loved ones. We look forward to worshiping with you in the new year.
