This week's Talk 30th November 2014: Advent Sunday Mark 13: 24 - end

Some questions to think about

1) What do you think God wants for Christmas? (to put it another way, what are the things you most think God wants to be put right in this world?)

2) What does the idea of Jesus coming again mean to you?

3) Jesus talks about being prepared and staying awake – what do you think that might mean for us in living out the Christian life?

2) In what way are the false prophets deceptive? And how does Jesus instruct his disciples to tell the difference between true and false?

3) What good fruit can people see in our own lives, and in the life of the Church at St. Mark's?

This week's Talk 9th November 2014: Remembrance Sunday Matthew 7: 1 - 12

Some questions to think about

1)      As we remember 100 years since the start of the First World War, what might this passage have to say to us?

2)      Jesus talks about us judging others’ faults while ignoring our own (which might be a lot bigger than theirs). How can we become more aware of the things that need sorting out in our own lives?

3)      Jesus urges us to ask, seek and knock in trust that God is a good and generous parent. What do you think God might want us as individuals and as a church to be asking Him for?

4)      How can the Holy Spirit transform us through these challenges of Jesus' teaching?
