Scripture Quote to Ponder and Put in Action:

    “Where words are many, sin in not wanting, but he who retrains his lips does well" -  Proverbs 10:19

Mark 16: 15-20    Discussion Questions:

  • What signs does Jesus say will accompany believers?
  •  Share a testimony of someone who has believed and you have witnessed signs of that belief.
  •  What other experiences have ‘proven’ God’s existence  and love to you personally?
