Small Group Notes for 30th March 2025
N.B. Sermon can be heard via our website and YouTube channel and the Paper Service version is on our website.
Read and Reflect: Isaiah 61:1-3 & Mark 14:1-11
Questions:
1. The woman gives her all. Not unlike the widow in 12:41-44.
a. What does giving our all look like today? (See also Mark 8:34)
2. The anointing of Jesus is an extravagant act of service/worship, which to some looked ridiculous. Not, the stopper removed and a little perfume carefully poured out, but the jar broken.
a. What can this teach us about worship and service?
b. And what does extravagant service/worship look like today?
3. As we approach Good Friday, both literally, and through our study in Mark, how do we reflect on Jesus’ extravagant sacrifice for us?
4. And with this weekend being Mothering Sunday, how might we reflect on our earthly mothers and the ‘mothering’ of God? (See among others Hosea 11:3)
