A Day in the Life of Jesus
Pastor Ricky Smith

Sermon Notes

Mark 1:29-34
And immediately he left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. Now Simon’s mother-in-law lay ill with a fever, and immediately they told him about her. And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her, and she began to serve them. That evening at sundown they brought to him all who were sick or oppressed by demons. And the whole city was gathered together at the door. And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. And he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.

Deep Dive

1. Compare the pace of your normal day with the example of Jesus’ day in Mark 1:29-34
2. In this text, Jesus broke the Sabbath to serve. What does this suggest about His priorities?
3. How do our daily activities reflect our priorities, and what should you adjust about yours?

Springboards

1. Describe your typical morning routine. How should it change to be more spiritually and physically healthy?
2. Read Mark 1:35-39. Why does Jesus’ discipline to pray early in the morning matter to us?
3. How can you better practice focused prayer time with fewer distractions?
