growgroup discussion questions

The one thing

Get ahead with. At the back of the pack.

Scripture

Mark 9:30-50

Know

• Have you ever been overheard having an argument with someone? Or have you ever overheard someone else having an argument? What happened? (Keep details vague if needed!)

Grow

• Have you experienced divisiveness / suspicion between different churches in a town, or churchd denominations? How did this impact you?
• What is more important as Christians / Churches? Standing up for truth or standing up for unity?
• Are there any issues that you believe we shouldn’t budge on as Christians, even if it creates rifts between us and others?
• Which lie do you struggle more with:
  • I’m all that
  • God needs me
  • I don’t need you. (We don’t need each other).
• Compare Jesus’ words in Mark 9:40 (whoever is not against us is for us) with Matthew 12:30 (who is not with me is against me). Is this a contradiction? Explain your thoughts.
• Have you ever met a Christian from another country / culture? What was that experience like for you? How did this experience enrich you?
• In what ways can pride prevent Jesus from using us?
• Why are Priscilla and Aquila (Acts 18) such a powerful example for us today on how God loves to use imperfect people, such as Apollos?
• Say, and ask your growgroup to repeat after you:
  • Jesus is all that matters
  • God does not need me; He can use anyone
  • I need you and you need me.
• Ask around the circle: Do you believe these truths?
