Checking In:

1.)   Take this time to check in with everyone in your life group. How is their walk with the Lord currently going?

Ice Breaker for the study:

2.)   If you had a year’s wages to blow on friends, which would you choose: Big party for all? Glorious trip for a few? Extravagant gift for one?

Digging Deeper: Read Mark 14:1-11

3.)   How does this woman’s action (v.3) strike you: Thoughtful, but misguided? Tasteful, but extravagant? Wasteful, no buts about it? Honoring to the nth degree?

4.)   Do you think the perfume could have been better used? Why?

5.)   How was her action justified by Jesus (v.6-9) and used by Judas (v.10-11)?

6.)   Why did this woman who anointed Jesus know to prepare Him for His burial when the disciples did not?

Application:

7.)   What would you like to do for Jesus that might cause Him to make a similar statement as in verse 9?

8.)   What is the most beautiful, touching thing you have ever seen one person do for another?

9.)   What is the most beautiful, touching thing another person has ever done for you?

Following the Discussion:

Take time to ask if there are any prayer requests within your group and pray for one another. Also ask if there is anyone in their life that you could be praying for that they may come to Christ.
