Small Group Questions (Whole Group):
Read Mark 2:18-22
- Why do you think the disciples of John and the Pharisees were bent out of shape about Jesus’ disciples not fasting?
- Was Jesus saying fasting is obsolete (see Matthew 6:16-18)? What would the purpose be of fasting today, if it is not something to make you “holier”?
- What was Jesus’ point about His two stories (the garment/patch and the wine/wineskins)? What are ways people try to mix the old (Law, religious works) and the new (Gospel, grace)? Why can’t you mix the old and the new?
Breakout Questions:
- When was the last time you fasted? Is there a reason for you to fast in this season of your life?
- Pray for one another.
