Read the selection from Mark 12 as a group (Mark 12:18-34).
Then discuss what Christ is doing not only in the minds of the religious leaders, but in the observers' as they contemplate just what it is to have faith in God.
Then discuss what it looks like to follow this Christ, whether from a starting point of no religion, or being steeped in it from youth. Christ's invitation is a stark contrast against all or preconceived notions, and it's important to, individually and as a group, ask whether what we are doing and who we are is what the Son of God is up to.
Discussion questions:
What stuck with you most from Sunday?
What decisions did you make, or did you feel like you want to make?
How different is the Christ of your current understanding compared to your previous understanding, or what you've heard from others?
How would your life be different if you began living in the ways of grace and peace and forgiveness and love more fully?
How can this group help you participate in the Life of Christ?
How can this group work together better as a reflection of the Life of Christ?
