Mark 11 | Jesus Confronts and Claims His Temple

Read more about PROJECT23 👉🏼 https://beresolute.org/project23/ Jesus doesn’t ride in quietly—He comes to confront. In Mark 11, He enters Jerusalem with kingly boldness, curses fruitless religion, and flips tables in the temple. The Savior claiming His territory. There’s a new Sheriff in town. Summary: In Mark 11, Jesus boldly enters Jerusalem fulfilling prophecy by riding in humbly on a colt, yet claiming His kingship unmistakably. He exposes empty religion by cursing a fruitless fig tree and cleansing the temple of corruption, confronting the exploitation of worshippers. Finally, He challenges the religious authorities with divine wisdom, leaving no room to remain neutral—Jesus demands a choice: Is He just a man or the King? Reflection and Small Group Discussion Questions: 1. What does Jesus riding on a colt instead of a warhorse tell us about the nature of His kingship? 2. How do we see humility and authority working together in Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem? 3. What might the fruitless fig tree represent about our own spiritual lives? 4. How does Jesus’ action in cleansing the temple challenge the way we approach worship and church today? 5. In what ways can “worship” be turned into a form of exploitation or empty ritual in our own context? 6. Jesus speaks about faith moving mountains—how does this challenge your view of prayer and faith in daily life? 7. Why do you think Jesus responded to the religious leaders with a question rather than a direct answer? 8. How do we often avoid making a decision about who Jesus is, and what risks do we face in indecision? 9. What does it mean to claim Jesus as King on His terms, not ours? 10. How can we guard ourselves against “fruitless faith” and pursue genuine spiritual fruitfulness?
