DESCRIPTION

Action Hero: Jesus in the Book of Mark - Leader Guide takes group members on a journey through the Book of Mark as they learn how to become a missional community. It does this by teaching them how to be a "group of action" in the same way Jesus was a "man of action." Drawing from the words and action of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark "The Ultimate Action Hero" dares groups to become more than what they currently are. This Life Connections study keeps in mind that disciples are not made in a laboratory or a classroom—but on the go. (13 sessions)
