CONVERSATION STARTERS
1. Read Mark 12:18-40.
2. God’s Authority & Our Response – The tenants in the parable rejected the owner’s rightful claim to the vineyard (Mark 12:1–8). What does this story reveal about our tendency to hold onto things as if they are ours rather than God’s? How do we recognize and submit to God’s authority in our lives?
3. The Owner Will Come Asking – The parable warns that God will eventually call his people to account (Mark 12:2). Does this idea bring a sense of urgency or encouragement to how you live? How can we ensure that when the Owner comes asking, we will be found faithful in what we’ve done with his gifts?
4. Hope in the Resurrection – Jesus affirms that God is not the God of the dead, but of the living (Mark 12:27). How does this promise impact the way you view life, death, and eternity? In what ways can this truth bring peace and confidence in the face of uncertainty?
5. Jesus as the Ultimate Authority – The Sadducees attempt to trap Jesus with their assumptions, but He reveals a deeper truth (Mark 12:18–25). In what areas do you approach Scripture seeking to affirm your own view? How can we recognize this when it happens?

There is an urgency connected to the teaching: the word sh’ma demands that the hearer respond with his total being to the fact and demands of this essential revelation. ~ Baker Encyclopedia of the Bible
I've almost hit number one 4 times on Billboard
Grammy-nominated artist prop
Maybe I'm trippin’
But you ever ate an Almost cake
Almost fried chicken — that could kill you
I'm terrified
That I was a decent father
An okay husband
A pretty good poet
Just couldn't manage to turn the corner
I barely squeezing by
And it's okay, it will do
I am mister right now

Love isn’t proven by what you know but by who you know.
You don’t own anything, but God owns everything.
Our only hope in life and death is that we are not our own but belong, body and soul, both in life and death, to God and to our Savior Jesus Christ. ~ New City Catechism
You have no authority, but Jesus has all authority.
