3. Read verses 1:1-6. What does "partnership in the Gospel" mean to you?

Happy Easter! Mark finishes this sermon series, Monk Habits for the Rest of Us, with a message from John 20:11-18. As we consider how the Resurrected Jesus met with Mary, we find a story of healing and commission.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
1. As we conclude the series on prayer, what practice has made the most impact in your life? What is one lesson you continue to carry?
2. Reflect on the imagery of a tidal island. How does the symbolism speak to rhythms in the Christian life and the dual calling of prayer/mission?
3. Read John 20:11-18. What questions emerge when you consider this story? Why do you think Mary went to the tomb that day? 
4. What has stayed with you from the sermon- either as encouraging, curious, or confusing?
5. What are the similarities between Mary's tomb experience and MLK's table moment?  
6. If in fact Easter is both a time of personal healing and sending, where do you feel Christ is sending you this week?

Easter- Mary, Martin and You

Tristam - The Vine

Washing feet is a custom of acceptance.  The feet are seen as the dirtiest part of a person.
God is Spirit...and He speaks thru Christ Jesus.  They are one
You were born with the ability to hear God.
All things must come from the Vine.
What you are looking to is where you are going.  What you talk about and study is also where you are going.
John 15:3-4  Abide in Him
Mormons are connected with alien species.
Follow the Lord by faith not by sight.
Another word for America is Atlantis - the great experiment
The pharisee lineage was born without the sins of the fathers...
