Sermon study questions for Connect Group discussion, and for personal reflection:
1. Find the context around the two sermon passages from Mark’s Gospel. What is similar about them?
2. What surprises you about Jesus telling the disciples that fear in the first text and confusion in the second text, both came from hardness of hearts?
3. What are some common ways that even we Christians harden our hearts in certain areas?
4. What does God do to soften hearts?
5. React to this statement: “If a small problem or negative event in one our interpersonal relationships seem big and also seems to linger in our mind,
it may be from our hardness of heart and not the other person.”
