Jan 30

Written By Cris Escher

Questions for the week

Describe someone who was in a hopeless situation that was so bad, you would say that they were “beyond saving.” What made it seem like they were “beyond saving?”
Read Mark 4:35- 5:43. In each of these 3 sections, identify how Jesus takes hopeless situations and brings good news to them. In other words, how do we see Jesus turn bad soil to good soil?
Where in your life have you seen Jesus turn bad soil into good soil?
