CONVERSATION STARTERS
1. Read Mark 12:18-40.
2. God’s Authority & Our Response – The tenants in the parable rejected the owner’s rightful claim to the vineyard (Mark 12:1–8). What does this story reveal about our tendency to hold onto things as if they are ours rather than God’s? How do we recognize and submit to God’s authority in our lives?
3. The Owner Will Come Asking – The parable warns that God will eventually call his people to account (Mark 12:2). Does this idea bring a sense of urgency or encouragement to how you live? How can we ensure that when the Owner comes asking, we will be found faithful in what we’ve done with his gifts?
4. Hope in the Resurrection – Jesus affirms that God is not the God of the dead, but of the living (Mark 12:27). How does this promise impact the way you view life, death, and eternity? In what ways can this truth bring peace and confidence in the face of uncertainty?
5. Jesus as the Ultimate Authority – The Sadducees attempt to trap Jesus with their assumptions, but He reveals a deeper truth (Mark 12:18–25). In what areas do you approach Scripture seeking to affirm your own view? How can we recognize this when it happens?

Nothing shapes us more than who or what we love
We become what we love and who we love shapes what we become. If we love things, we become a thing. If we love nothing, we become nothing. ~ St. Clare of Assisi
Where he will face the cross before receiving the crown.
Anti-Disciple: Lover of Wrong Things.
The Almost Disciple: Lover of Right Things
Only in loving Jesus, can we truly love God.
Only in loving Jesus, can we truly love our neighbor.
