Sermon Discussion Questions
Questions for reflection:
1. What has God revealed to you through the story of Bartimaeus?
2. Are you more like the Bartimaeus who sat by the roadside or the Bartimaeus who followed Jesus?
Questions for discussion:
1. How does the faith of Bartimaeus stand out from what we've seen so far in Mark’s gospel?
2. What do we learn about genuine discipleship (following Jesus) through the example of Bartimaeus?
