people worship God, grow spiritually, serve others, and reach
their communities and the world with the message and love of

Discussion Starters
- Are rules important? What rules seem arbitrary to you? What rules do you wish we had?
- What do you know about Jewish Sabbath observances? Why do we worship on Sunday and not Saturday? How have things changed with our “Sabbath” or Sunday observances?
- What was going on in the grain field? Why did the Pharisees even care?
- Does Jesu make light of Sabbath rules, or is there something else going on here?
- Was Jesus' interpretation of the Sabbath something new? Why was the story of David included here?
- Was the healing in the synagogue a staged event? What was the correct course of action for Jesus to take? Why?
- Why is the Sabbath given to us? What should our approach be to the Sabbath?
- Why are these two incidents important in Mark's gospel account?
- What do these two stories tell us about religion, and those who seek to teach us religion?
- As followers of Christ what is our responsibility to others? Think Great Commission.
