The Anti Gospel
Group Discussion Guide
Each Sunday we come together we offer an open invitation into the way of Jesus. An invitation to enter into sacred rhythms - to draw near to God through singing, giving, learning, and praying.
As a community who desires renewal in Des Moines as it is in Heaven, we recognize that we cannot offer what we ourselves do not have. We cannot lead where we ourselves have not been led; in turn, these questions aim at reflection. Reflecting on God’s word and making space for his leadership.
After watching or listening consider the following discussion questions as a large group or in groups of three to four:
What stood out to you about this week’s teaching?
What stood out to you from this week’s teaching?
If the cross was a symbol of shame and humiliation in ancient Rome what does it mean for us to pick up our cross and follow Jesus today?
What sort of disguises do we place on Jesus?
Why do you think the cross proceeds following in Jesus sequence - deny, cross, follow - Mark 8?
