Go
around
and
share
what
you
did
this
summer;
what
God
blessed
you
with
and
what
he
could
help
you
with.
Write
down
new
goals
for
the
semester
to
be
prayed
over
and
find
ways
in
which
God
(and
study
members)
can
help
you
New
Beginnings
The
beginning
of
Mark
is
about
the
preparation
of
Jesus
arrival.
Prepare
the
way
for
the
Lord,
make
straight
paths
for
him
~
What
are
some
ways
we
can
straighten
our
own
paths
out
in
the
beginning
of
the
year
to
set
the
right
tone
for
what
we
want
to
accomplish?
John
the
Baptist
appeared
to
help
people
repent
for
their
sins.
How
willing
would
any
of
us
be
to
admit
our
sins
to
a
stranger?
Is
that
easier
than
admitting
things
to
our
friends
who
know
us
well?
How
many
of
us
would
like
a
clean
slate?
****
Use
this
first
semester
as
an
opportunity
for
a
clean
slate!
You
can
be
exactly
who
you
want
to
be
if
you
set
your
ways
early!
After
Jesus
was
baptized,
he
was
in
the
wilderness
forty
days
being
temped
by
Satan.
What
are
some
temptations
that
may
get
in
your
way?
How
hard
is
it
to
say
no?
What
are
some
of
your
tricks
to
beat
that
temptation?
(it
could
be
as
simple
as
watching
too
much
Netflix
or
eating
that
extra
slice
of
pizza)
I
baptize
you
with
water,
but
he
will
baptize
you
with
the
Holy
Spirit
We
are
all
human,
so
when
we
do
go
off
of
our
ideal
straight
path,
what
are
some
ways
to
renew
and
refocus?
(pray,
write
in
a
diary,
take
a
hot
shower
after
a
night
of
regrets)
Try
to
remember
these
methods
whenever
youre
are
beginning
to
feel
lost!
Verses
on
focus:
Colossians
3:2
Set
your
mind
on
things
that
are
above,
not
on
things
that
are
on
earth.
Matthew
6:33
But
seek
first
the
kingdom
of
God
and
his
righteousness,
and
all
these
things
will
be
added
to
you.
Matthew
6:24
No
one
can
serve
two
masters,
for
either
he
will
hate
the
one
and
love
the
other,
or
he
will
be
devoted
to
the
one
and
despise
the
other.
You
cannot
serve
God
and
money.
Closing
thought:
as
the
semester
goes
on,
we
may
feel
like
we
are
occasionally
losing
control.
Find
comfort
in
knowing
God
has
a
plan
for
each
and
every
one
of
you.
It
may
be
frustrating
to
not
always
know
the
end
game
of
these
plans
but
trust
in
Him,
He
knows
what
is
best
for
us.
Use
this
new
beginning
to
make
the
best
version
of
yourself.
Philippians
2:13
for
it
is
God
who
is
at
work
in
you,
both
to
will
and
to
work
for
His
good
pleasure.

Notes
for
Mark
Week
2
~Highs
and
lows
for
the
week.
~Shout
out
some
people
you
admire;
people
you
look
up
to
and
follow.
(Beyonce)
confidence
is
key.
Knowing
what
you
are
doing
is
something
you
believe
in
and
feel
passionate
about.
~Has
there
ever
been
a
time
when
you
did
not
stand
up
for
something
that
was
right?
Observations:
fisherman
Simon/Andrew
James/John
FOLLOW
three
times
All
of
the
fisherman
left
something
important
(jobs,
livelihood,
identity,
control,
comfort,
consistency)
behind
to
them
to
follow
Jesus
~What
are
some
important
things
in
your
life?
(family,
dog,
sisters)
Could
you
walk
away
from
these
things
if
a
stranger
asked
you
to?
At
once
they
left
their
nets
and
followed
him
~What
are
some
nets
or
setbacks
in
your
own
life?
What
or
who
can
hold
you
back
from
being
a
leader
or
standing
up
for
what
is
right?
Jesus
movement
is
continuous
and
purposeful--(Greek
recruitment)
~What
are
some
qualities
of
a
leader?
What
makes
you
want
to
follow
someone?
~When
do
you
feel
the
most
confident?
What
some
tricks
to
overcome
your
fears
of
leading
or
standing
up
to
what
is
right?
With
recruitment
coming
up,
what
are
some
ways
our
movements
can
be
purposeful
and
admirable?
Interpretation:
Why
fisherman?
Is
there
significance?
**Who
are
the
fisherman
in
our
life?
(PNMs,
younger
siblings
etc)
What
was
the
cost
to
follow
Jesus?
What
would
cause
someone
to
follow
someone
else?
(leadership,
confidence,
be
the
example
and
role
model
that
would
cause
others
to
follow
you)
What
did
they
gain?
(purpose,
potential
promise
of
a
better
life,
a
higher
calling)
What
can
you
gain
by
following
the
right
people?
What
can
others
gain
by
following
you?
Application:
What
would
it
cost
you?
What
kind
of
aspects
would
make
you
a
leader
that
someone
would
want
to
follow?
Who
are
the
fishermen
in
your
life?
Do
you
want
to
be
fishers
of
men
or
just
fisherman
(IDENTITY)?
What
are
some
barriers
in
our
way
to
follow
Jesus?
Closing
thought:
After
this
weeks
turmoil,
we
need
to
set
our
own
standard.
Be
the
women
that
you
would
choose
to
follow.
Lead
with
the
confidence
and
grace
that
I
know
youre
all
capable
of!!
Even
when
its
hard
to
let
go
of
those
nets
holding
some
of
us
back,
remember
that
you
have
all
of
us
and
Jesus
behind
you.
Verses
on
self-confidence:
Phillipians
4:13
I
can
do
all
things
through
Christ
which
strengthens
me.
Hebrews
13:6
We
may
boldly
say,
the
Lord
is
my
helper
and
I
will
not
fear
what
man
shall
do
unto
me.
Hebrews
10:35-36
Cast
not
away
therefore
your
confidence,
which
hath
great
recompense
of
reward.

Observations:
Repetition
Jesus
telling
demons
to
be
quiet;
teaching
5X
Contrast-
Jesus
vs.
TOL
People
are
amazed
by
Jesus
teaching;
hes
teaching,
not
boasting
Setting-
after
sunset,
synagogue
(public
places),
Capernaum
(similar
to
Mount
Pleasant
news
travels
fast,
and
in
the
Greek
community,
Simon
and
Andrews
home,
small
town
feel,
people
would
be
more
willing
to
listen)
*Teaching,
deliverance,
healing
Demons:
Fallen
angels.
What
are
some
forms
of
demons?
(Mental
illness,
money,
false
idols,
other
people,
possessions)
What
are
some
of
your
own
demons?
How
can
we
silence
or
own
demons,
just
as
Jesus
silenced
the
one
in
the
man?
*What
does
Jesus
have
authority
over?
(Disease,
sickness,
people,
teachings
of
faith,
etc.)
Jesus
has
authority
over
everything
and
is
active
in
setting
those
free
by
delivering
and
healing
them.
Public
places,
personal
spaces---
do
allow
Jesus
in
your
personal
space
or
do
you
leave
him
at
church?

early
morning/
dark

Jesus
is
seeking
out
a
solitary
place

Answers
~Finds
solitary
place
to
be
still
in
the
presence
of
the
Lord;
time
to
recharge;
receive
guidance
on
what
to
do
next
~Darkness-

see
what
the
day
will
bring
yet.
Walk
by
faith,
not
by
sight
~People
are
worried
He
left
after
doing
so
much
Main
truth:
as
a
follower
of
Jesus,
it
is
essential
to
pull
away
from
the
busy
world
and
recharge
as
well
as
receive
guidance
on
what
to
do
next.
Greek
connection-
chapter
has
problems,
TLC
comes
with
amazing
solutions
and
then
disappears
the
next
day.
We
need
time
away
from
our
sorority
and
its
problems
and
need
to
recharge.
Sometimes
we
are
too
close
to
the
problem
and
need
some
perspective.
The
rhythm
of
rest
and
workdont
we
all
need
that?
What
did
you
learn
about
yourself?
What
are
your
next
steps?
