Breakout Discussion: “What’s Your Next Move?”

Sundays Message entitled, It’s Your Move, was a message calling us all to examine our faith in light of the revelation that Jesus is risen from the dead. Tonight, we invite you to join us as we have a deeper discussion and contemplate our next move. But first, let us pray.

Breakout Passage(s):

Mark 16:9-20 KJV

[9]Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

[10] And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

[11] And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.

[12] After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.

[13] And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.

[14] Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.

[15] And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

[16] He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

[17] And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

[18] They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

[19] So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

[20] And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

Breakout Questions:

Q1: According to Mark 16:9-20, after hearing the message of Jesus being raised from the dead, some people moved and others did not. Read the following statement and discuss. “What we believe is connected to a ‘Go’. What are our actions and inactions saying to others about what we really believe about Jesus?”

Q2: When Jesus “upbraided” his own disciples for their unbelief, what does that tell us about Comfortable Christianity? And how can we avoid Comfortable Christianity? (Upbraided: revile; insult; to show culpable; guilty; deserving of punishment)

Q3: Finish the phrase in your own words.

“If the message of Jesus being raised from the dead does not provoke me to move the way Jesus commands His disciples to move, then I … “

Q4: Whether we heard about some good food or a new vacation spot, we chose to make our move based on what we believed. Believing is a decision. Now that you’ve heard that Jesus has been raised from the dead, what is your next move?

Benediction: Jude 1:24-25
