Looking Back1. What teaching from the last sermon and group discussion applies to your life today?Explore2. In Mark 10:2, the Pharisees tested Jesus by asking, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce hiswife?" Instead of answering directly, Jesus responded in Mark 10:3 by saying, "What didMoses command you?" Why do you think Jesus redirected their question?3. Pastor David said that Jesus took the Pharisees back to "Gods original intent and designfor marriage." In Mark 10:6, Jesus stated, "But from the beginning of creation, Godmade them male and female." Why did Jesus emphasize creation when discussingmarriage?Examine4. In Mark 10:9, Jesus said, "What therefore God has joined together, let not manseparate." How does this verse emphasize the significance of commitment inrelationships, and what does it teach us about Gods design for unity in marriage, family,and the church?5. Pastor David said, "Divorce happens because of the hardness of the human heart." InMark 10:5, Jesus said, "Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you thiscommandment." How does hardness of heart contribute to broken marriages today,even within the church?Apply6. In Mark 10:78, Jesus quoted Scripture saying, "'Therefore a man shall leave his fatherand mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.' So they areno longer two but one flesh." How can Christians practically "fight for their marriage" inlight of Jesus teachings, and what steps can couples take to strengthen their marriageand reflect Christs love?7. Pastor David said, "There is always, always hope for your marriage." In 1 Corinthians7:1011, Paul wrote, "To the married I give this charge (not I, but the Lord): the wifeshould not separate from her husband... but if she does, she should remain unmarriedor else be reconciled to her husband." How can believers extend grace and pursuereconciliation in difficult marriages, even when separation seems like the only option?
