Life Group Lesson “Headline News”
Begin with a prayer.
What is the best news headline that you have ever seen?
Why do some stories receive more publicity than others?
Read Mark 15:16-20
Why would people mock the idea that Jesus “was King of the Jews?”
Does Jesus understand what abuse is? How could this help someone who has been abused or mistreated?
Read Mark 15:21-32
What are some things that you noticed from the text we just read? What stands out?
Why do you think Jesus wouldn’t take the “wine with myrrh” drug to ease the pain?
(Just as we take drugs for pain relief now, it would not have been sinful for Jesus to take something for the pain.) Why would He want to experience the full extent of the pain?
How do your sufferings compare to what Jesus went through? How does it make you feel to know that He suffered for you?
Read Mark 15:33-38; Mark 15:1-7
The darkness over the land symbolized a world without God. How does this story help you stay connected to God (light) in every part of your life?
Why do you think that the events surrounding Jesus’ death caused the centurion to say, “surely this man was the Son of God”?
What were the women expecting to find at the tomb that Sunday morning? Why were they surprised (frightened)?
Jesus the man who died saving the world, is back and alive! How does this true story inspire you? How does it help you?
Read 1 Corinthians 15:3-5
What does the headline “Christ died for your sins” mean to you? How does the Gospel affect your life on a daily basis?
If you were writing a catchy but honest headline for this story, what would it be?
Close in prayer.
