We are excited that you are joining our Bible reading initiative this year at Lifepoint. We pray that you will find this journey through the Scripture to be a rewarding and spiritually enriching one.

This week, we are reading the gospel of Mark, chapters 7-11. These chapters will finish up the teaching and healing ministry of Jesus and see His triumphal entry into Jerusalem.


As you read this week, consider the following questions:
• In Mark 7:24-30, we find the story of a Gentile woman who came to Jesus for help. Why did Jesus initially express reluctance to help her?

• What does it mean to take up your cross and follow Jesus (Mark 8:34)?

• At the Mount of Transfiguration, why did Peter want to make three tents? And what was the significance of God’s response (Mark 9:4-8)?

• What did Jesus mean when He said that the kingdom of God belongs to those who receive it like a child (Mark 10:13-16)?

• How important is it that we forgive others (Mark 11:25)?
