Looking Back
1. How are you growing and applying what you’ve learned in the last week?
Explore
2. What event prompted Jesus' prophetic teaching in Mark 13, and how did He respond to
the disciples' admiration of the temple in vv. 1-2?
3. According to Pastor David, why should Jesus’ warning in Mark 13:5–6—“See that no one
leads you astray…”—be read as a present concern for both the disciples and us today?
Examine
4. Pastor David said Jesus’ prophecy was “pregnant with prophetic meaning.” How does
the destruction of the temple in 70 AD both fulfill Jesus’ words in Mark 13:2 and
foreshadow His Second Coming in verses 26–27?
5. How does Paul’s description of the “man of lawlessness” in 2 Thessalonians 2:3–4
deepen our understanding of Jesus’ reference to the “abomination of desolation” in
Mark 13:14, and why did Pastor David say “let the reader understand”?
Apply
6. Pastor David said that instead of decoding signs, “Jesus wants us to be found working.”
How does the parable in Mark 13:34–36 challenge you to assess your faithfulness and
readiness?
7. Jesus warned in Mark 13:13, “You will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But the one
who endures to the end will be saved.” In light of Pastor David’s message, how does this
call to endurance shape the way you live and witness in a hostile or indifferent world?
