Preacher: Pastor Evan Kim | Passage: Mark 2:13-17

POINTS

1) The unworthy are worthy

2) The sinners are worthy

3) The self-righteous are unworthy

REFLECTIVE QUESTIONS

1) What’s the difference between pleasing God, and earning God’s favor?  What is the appropriate approach for the Christian, and how might you practice this?

2) Read Mark 2:14.  What’s the significance of Jesus calling Levi the tax collector?  What does this tell you about who is worthy to follow Jesus?

3) Jesus mingled with both the religious elite and the lowly.  What does this say about the Gospel, and what’s one practical way this might influence how you live your life?

4) Describe self-righteousness (cf. Mark 2:16).  Give one example of how this manifests in your own life, and also one way in which you might put your self-righteousness to death.
