Discussion Questions - Re-read our passage from this week (Mark 6:30-44) and then with your Growth Group, family, friends, etc. thoughtfully answer the following:

1. On a scale of 1 to 10 how badly do you need rest right now?
2. How do you typically respond when people interfere with your plans (whether plans to rest, or just in general)?
3. Is it more natural for you to care about things or people? Why?
4. Do you think it’s necessary to help people materially prior to helping them spiritually, or does the order matter?
5. Do you have an example of God “multiplying loaves and fishes” in your life?
6. In what practical / specific ways do you function like the disciples, who simply received from Jesus and gave to others?
7. What’s your next step in response to this message?

GOSPEL OF MARK by Francis Chan

The Gospel of Mark chronicles Jesus’s journey from Galilee to Jerusalem. Along the way, the Messiah gathers a ragged band of disciples. As crowds grow and dwindle on the road to Jerusalem, only a few stick by the Suffering Savior on the road of discipleship. In this 11-part series on the Gospel of Mark, author and speaker Francis Chan invites us to walk with him along the ancient ways of the Master. Tracing the steps of Jesus and the Twelve through Israel, Francis explores the major themes of the Gospel of Mark, and asks: Are we willing to take this journey to embrace discipleship?
