Part 36 of the Sermon Series: On the Road with Jesus | A Study in the Gospel of Mark Mark 10:32-45 Community Group Questions 1. Verse 32 tells us that Jesus is walking ahead of the group as they are on the road, heading to Jerusalem. Those who followed were both amazed and afraid? Why? 2. (v.33) Jesus, for a 3rd time, describes what he will accomplish in Jerusalem. He is leading the procession to worship; going before us, as a servant/leader, to accomplish the means by which we gather to worship; through the outworking of the gospel: Rejection-Suffering-Death-Resurrection. Is this the means by which you come to worship the Lord? In what other ways do we try to come? 3. (v.35-37) Considering both the situation that was causing fear in those following along the way, and Jesus’s 3rd reminder of what was going to take place in Jerusalem, how out of place is James and John’s request? How are our desires and requests sometimes similarly out of place? 4. In Jesus’s response (v.39), these disciples are promised that they will share in the Lord’s suffering rather than in positions of power. Share a time when the Lord’s answer to your prayers seemed painful or impossible, yet over time was revealed to be gracious and loving. 5. (v.41) Why were the other 10 disciples indignant? 6. (v.42-45) Discuss the ways in which Jesus’s way of leadership differs from that of the world. 7. How do we tend to still follow the world’s estimation of who ought to be in leadership? Or In what ways do we still operate according to the world’s way of leading?
