It is wonderful to travel through John Mark’s life and see the beautiful story climax with 
Christ The Lord Is Risen Today – Hymn 166, therefore 
Go, Preach My Gospel – Hymn 378. These two hymns give us a purpose all during this quarter to hasten the coming of our Lord Jesus. May you enjoy these hymns for your theme hymn from which to choose.

The Last Supper has many hymns, and I find these three fit with what is happening in our Monday study time: 
Hymn 397 – An Upper Room, 
Hymn 398 – Bread Of The World and 
Hymn 399 – Beneath The Forms Of Outward Rite.

Tuesday’s study shows clearly in 
Hymn 157 – Go To Dark Gethsemane.

Even with all the disciples and followers fleeing from Jesus, He displayed His great love, as in 
O Love, How Deep, How Broad – Hymn 148, particularly in verse 3.

Thursday and Friday keep reminding us 
O Brother, Be Faithful – Hymn 602.

Please continue to search the scriptures this week to be blessed and to bless many others.

To learn unknown hymns, you will find the accompaniment music for each one at: https://sdahymnals.com/Hymnal/

Another great resource is for when there is a hymn you wish to sing but can’t find it in your hymnal. Go to https://www.sdahymnal.org/Search and in the search bar type a special word in that is in the hymn. I am sure you will be amazed at the help you will be given.

 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV – “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

Key Thought: Mark 14 narrated the plot to kill Jesus. It tells of the events of Jesus’ betrayal and His condemnation by the religious leaders.
September 14, 2024

1. Have a volunteer read Mark 14:1-11, 22-31.

1. Ask class members to share a short thought on what the most important point is in this passage.
2. What two stories are contrasted here, and how do they play off each other?
3. Personal Application: What can we learn from promising to do something and either not doing it or delaying it, but eventually doing it? Share your thoughts.
4. Case Study: One of your relatives states, “I don’t know much about Passover only that Jesus celebrated it because God delivered the Jews in Egypt. It doesn’t apply to us today. It was fulfilled and nailed to the cross, but some Christians believe we should still be keeping it.”. How would you respond to your relative?

2. Have a volunteer read Mark 14:32-42.

1. Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
2. Why did Jesus pray in the garden and how was the prayer answered?
3. Personal Application: How can we submit our wills to God in the face of adversity and trials without denying Christ like Peter, or running away like John, or trying to physically fight like Peter? Share your thoughts.
4. Case Study: One of your friends states, “Why was Jesus seeking support from His disciples? Didn’t He have strength and courage to face His destiny? Didn’t He know He had to face the cross alone? Did He in His humanity seek support and comfort?” How would you respond to your friend?

3. Have a volunteer read Mark 14:43-52.

4. Case Study: One of your neighbors states: “Judas was a slave to only one sin –love of money, and it led him to betray Jesus. How can we learn to hate our sins and by God’s grace, overcome it in our lives?” How would you respond to your neighbor?

4. Have a volunteer read Mark 14:60-71.

1. Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
2. What difference was there in how Jesus responded to events and how Peter did?
3. Personal Application: What words of hope would you give someone who, though waiting to follow Jesus, fails to do so at times? Have you ever failed to follow what we know Jesus wants? Share your thoughts.
4. Case Study: Think of one person who needs to hear a message from this week’s lesson. Tell the class what you plan to do this week to share with them.
