The Gospel of Mark

Mark 16:1-8

These questions are based on Mark 16:1-8 and the sermon preached on 2/1/26 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 16:1-8

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

2. Read 1 Corinthians 15:12-19. How important is the resurrection of Jesus for Christians and the Christian faith? Why? Is it possible to have Christianity without the resurrection?

3. Read Mark 16:1-3. What do we learn about the women in these verses? Were they anticipating the resurrection? What does that say about them? How is that a good argument against the idea that they only imagined seeing Jesus raised from the dead because they “anticipated” or “wanted” him to be resurrected?

4. Read Mark 16:4-8. What are some important details in these verses that stand out to you? Try to put yourself in their place, how would you feel? What would your reaction be?

5. Read 1 Corinthians 15:58. What is Paul saying is true for all Christians based on the Resurrection of Jesus? What does that mean for your life?
