Glimpses of Glory (discussion questions)

10 Dec

Here are the discussion questions that accompany my message at Eastbrook Church this past weekend, “Glimpses of Glory,” from Mark 9:2-13.

Discussion Questions:

  1. When was a time where you powerfully encountered God’s presence in your life? What happened? How did you know it was God?
  2. Our Scripture passage this week is Mark 9:2-13. Whether you are alone or with a small group, read these verses out loud. Ask God to speak to you as you continue the study.
  3. There is some debate about exactly where this event happened. Tradition associates it with Mt. Tabor (southwest of the Sea of Galilee), while some Bible scholars think the location may have been Mt. Hermon (northeast of the Sea of Galilee) or Mt. Meron (northwest of the Sea of Galilee). What is clear is that the location of the ‘mountaintop’ is critical. There are likely echoes of Moses experience at Mt. Sinai during the Exodus. Take a moment to compare Mark 9:2-13 with Exodus 19:16-20 and 24:15-18. Read the rest of this entry »

04 Dec

Here are the discussion questions that accompany my message at Eastbrook Church this past weekend, “Who Do You Say I Am?,” from Mark 8:27-30.

Discussion Questions:

1. This week, we are looking at a short yet profound portion of Scripture: Mark 8:27-30. Whether you are alone or with a small group, read these verses out loud. Ask God to speak to you as you continue the study.

2. Throughout Mark’s Gospel there are all sorts of titles given to Jesus. Take some time to look through the following passages in the first chapter of Mark’s gospel to write down different names or titles given to Jesus: Read the rest of this entry »

Three Disciples

23 May

We are in the midst of a three-week series here at Eastbrook Church called “Three Disciples.” It brings focus to those three apostles who were closest to Jesus: Peter, John and James. The goal of the series is to take a biographical look at these disciples in order to see what it looks like for regular people like you and me to be disciples of Jesus today.

The series outline is:

May 19/20 – “Peter” – Dr. Bill Conner

May 26/27 – “John” – Jay Rhodes

June 2/3 – “James” – Dr. David Musa

This weekend at Eastbrook, I finished up our series “Risky Faith” with a message entitled “Walk on the Waves” from Matthew 14:22-33.
