The King Detests - St Ebbe's Sunday Stories for Families

About this sermon

Mark 11:1-25 - The King Detests When Jesus came to Jerusalem as king he expected to find people who truly loved God, but instead he found people who were only pretending. For older children – Read Jeremiah 7:9-11 together (Jesus quotes this in Mark 11:17) and answer some of the following questions: 1.) What were the Israelites doing that was wrong? What were they trusting in to make them safe? 2.) What is wrong with this attitude? 3.) Why did Jesus curse the fig tree? Why did he clear the temple? 4.) Was Jesus right to do what he did? Why/why not? 5.) Discuss some different religious things people do because they think it will please God. 6.) Which of these are good things to do? 7.) Which of them is motivated by faith in Jesus and love for God? How can you tell? 8.) Is it possible to do any of these things and not trust in Jesus’ death? 9.) How should faith in Jesus and love for God affect what we do or don’t do every moment of every day? How should it affect our behaviour at home, church and school? 10.) Should there be any difference between things we say and do at school, home and church?
