The Passage: Mark 1:14-20
The One Thing: A Purpose Beyond Yourself
Know
K1 How did the Holy Spirit speak to you today through the message?

Grow
G1 Responding to the Call: Discuss how Simon, Andrew, James, and John immediately responded to Jesus' call to follow Him. Explore the concept of being open and responsive to God's calling in our own lives. Encourage each person / family member to reflect on times when they felt a calling or nudge from God and how they responded.
G2 The Kingdom of God: Jesus begins His ministry proclaiming the arrival of the Kingdom of God. Engage in a conversation about what the Kingdom of God means to each person / family member. Explore ways in which the group/ family can actively participate in advancing God's Kingdom through love, compassion, and service in their daily lives.
G3 The Shoreline: What does the shoreline in our passage today represent in the passage, and what do you think it might mean in your life? What does it mean to be an amphibian?
G4 Leaving Everything Behind: Simon, Andrew, James, and John left their nets and their livelihoods to follow Jesus. Discuss the significance of leaving behind comfort zones and the challenges that might come with such decisions.
G5 The time had come. Why were the Pax Romana, the Roman Roads and the Greek language so key in the spreading of the gospel? Why else might it mean that “the time had come?”
