Reflection/Application Questions on Mark 9.14-29

These questions are provided for your further study and meditation of today’s message. Thoughtfully writing out answers to these questions will help you to reflect on the point of today’s message. It is also helpful to discuss your answers with others. This can take place with friends, your family, accountability partners, or mission small groups (MSGs) of CrossView Church. For MSG meetings ask someone about it at lunch. You can also email info@crossviewchurchla.org or call 213-908-5173.

1. What did you learn about Jesus from this text? What are some reasons to love him afresh and love him more this week from this passage?

2. If Jesus’ words are that powerful, what should you do with the Bible? What’s one possible change that will help you benefit from the Bible more in your life?

3. What is the faith-growth spiral? How can you grow in faith according to this passage?

4. What are some things you’ve heard from God that you should be trusting right now in the situations you’re currently in?

5. What should you be praying for? How will you know when God answers? Share your prayer requests with another church member so that you both can be strengthened by God’s answer to prayer.

6. What prayers have God answered lately that should have strengthened your faith? Share that with another church member through conversation or email this week to bless them.

7. Are you scared to admit your spiritual weakness and lack of faith? How does this story encourage us who are little in faith and spiritually weak?
