Review of Mark 3.7-35 from CrossView Church on Vimeo.

Outline: 4 characteristics of the family of Jesus - (1) Jesus' family is not just a crowd who receives some blessings from him, (2) Jesus' family are those who make church's mission the mission of their lives, (3) Jesus' family receives the testimony of the Holy Spirit about Jesus, and (4) Jesus' family does the will of God habitually and not just says, "I believe in Jesus." (If you prefer my sermon notes that are a bit more full email me at pj@crossviewchurchla.org)

Application questions for use in Mission Small Groups or personal use:

1. Do you assume you are a Christian just because you've been blessed by God and are part of a crowd that gathers around Jesus?
2. Who is God prompting you to explain the gospel to at this season in your life? Who are you teaming up with other CrossViewers? How will you do it?
3. Do you understand the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? What does fear of falling away or not being forgiven do to you? How should that truth shape your following of Jesus?
4. How do you continue to increase in receiving the Holy Spirit's testimony of Jesus Christ?
   
5. Are you part of Jesus' family? How is your life characterized by a habitual doing of the will of God?
   
6. How can you grow in doing the will of God according to Romans 12.1-2 and Colossians 4.12?
