The Gospel of Mark

Mark 14:12-26

These questions are based on Mark 14:12-26 and the sermon preached on 9/14/25 at Crossroads Church in Turlock, CA.

Please don’t feel the need to get through all the questions. The goal is not to get through all of them, but rather to have a meaningful time of discussion and encouragement.

Read Mark 14:12-26

1.    What stood out to you from the sermon or any of the Bible passages from Sunday?

2.    Look back over vs.12-16. Where do you see Jesus revealing that he is in full control over what is going to happen that evening? What does the fact that he was in control and aware of everything that was going to happen mean in connection to: the betrayal, his arrest, denial of Jesus, and his crucifixion? What are some take aways for our own lives?

3.    Read vs.17-21. One of the most difficult things a person can experience in life is betrayal by someone you love. What do Jesus’s actions towards Judas (washed his feet before the meal, allowed him to sit around the table and eat with the rest of the disciples, offered him the opportunity to turn back) say about who He is? How should His action toward Judas inform how we should treat others who have wronged us? Also, remember, Jesus knew that the rest of the Disciples were going to abandon him as well.

4.    Read vs.22-25. What are some observations about what Jesus said and did in these verses? Did you gain any new insights on this passage from the sermon? If so, share them with the group.

5.    Take some time to pray with and for each other. Also, pray for our country during this trying time in our nation’s history.
