Read Mark 1:35–39

• What was the thing that stood out to you the most from last week’s sermon?

• Why does Jesus go away to a solitary place when there is so much ministry left for him to do?

• Was solitude something Jesus fit into his schedule, or something he prioritized in his life? Why?

• In this passage, Peter tells Jesus, “Everyone is looking for you.” Do you feel like that in your own life? How do you respond?

• When the crowds want more of Jesus, what does He say? Why doesn’t Jesus go back?  How did the stillness help Jesus know what to do?

• What happens to us when we never get quiet?

• Read verses 38 and 39. Could solitude actually make us more—not less—available to people?

• What would practicing Mark 1:35 look like for you this week?
