*Gospel of Mark:  Kingdom Invasion*

*Week#1: Overview*

*[VIDEO INTRODUCTION]*

*Assignment*
This week, your assignment is to read the entire Gospel of Mark in one sitting (or no more than two or three).
In Jesus’ first recorded discourse, he says:  “The time has come.
The kingdom of God is near.
Repent and believe the good news.”
The kingdom of God is central to Jesus’ message, and yet today it is a phrase we seldom use and many of us would probably have a hard time defining the term.
* How would you define the kingdom of God?  Kingdoms generally require a king and a realm (a place or people to rule over).
How does this apply to the kingdom of God?
 
* Do you think this kingdom is present, here and now, or something in the future?
Is it both?
Do you have any thoughts?
If you have a hard time answering these first two questions, it’s OK.
You are not alone.
The rest of our study questions will generally be easier than trying to define a sweeping term like “the kingdom of God.”
As you read the Gospel of Mark in large chunks this week:
-         Try to see how the kingdom of God is described and played out.
-         Look for other major themes.
-         Try to catch the flow of the story and record impressions you have.
* What stood out to you from reading the entire Gospel of Mark this week?
*Blogging*

The following questions will be posted on-line for comments:
 
* Do you have any idea what the kingdom of God is, or at least, some of its characteristics.
