Session 9: God Comes to Dwell on Earth
Mark 1:14-15
Preparation Resources
1) Tim Keller sermon, Called to be Disciples
2) Short (5 minute) NT Wright talk on the Kingdom of God
Discussion Topics
1) Mark was the first Gospel written and this passage contains the first words of Jesus recorded in Mark: "The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” What exactly do you think he means by that? What do you think this "Kingdom of God" is that Jesus keeps talking about?
2) What does Prof. Wright teach about how some groups of people living in the first century might have understood the arrival of God’s Kingdom?
3) How does God’s Kingdom differs from the ‘kingdoms’ we see in the world today?
