Text: Mark 12:38-40
1. [App] Who, if anyone, do we consider dangerous
(physically or spiritually) in our world today?
If so, why do we consider them dangerous?
2. [v.38, Ezra 7:10] The Scribes of Jesus’ day were the
keepers, readers, and interpreters of God’s Law. Is there such a position, or combination of
positions, to who we can compare them to today?
3. [v.38] Considering that this was a time before the
printing press, why would a Scribe be revered, powerful, and important?
4. [v.38-39] How did the Scribes turn the symbols meant for
God’s honor into objects that honored themselves? Use the robes, greetings, important seats,
and prayers as talking points.
5. [v.40] What does a God honoring prayer sound like? Are they long? Short? Use big words? Do they
quote Scripture? Or are they original?
6. [App] The Scribes lived in hypocrisy, and today, we
Christians do the same. What steps
should we take with God to correct this, and how should we present this problem
to the culture that observes it?
