Passage: Luke 8:26-38

K1 What are some of the strange Bible stories that you have heard or remember hearing? What kinds of questions did they leave you with?

Have some discussion/reflection around the three perspectives and questions surrounding the demonic possession of the pigs:
G1. The demons wish to get as far away from Jesus as possible
• If Jesus interrupts our comfort or to see His kingdom costs us something, will we follow? Or will we push Him away?
G2. To illustrate that the demonic realm can only have control over people when we become like swine.
• Are there ways that I am currently living more like an animal, than as an image bearing child of God?
• What does this leave me vulnerable to?
G3. The demons thought that it would secure a victory over Jesus in this region.
• Are we going to join Him in His rescue mission?
• What are some ways that you can do this?
• 1 Peter 3:15 says: “But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect” In what ways are you prepared to share your faith? In what ways could you better prepare to be on mission?

S1. Write out your testimony.
• Learn to tell the long detailed version of your story (why you believe what you believe)
• Break it down to the main 2-4 points
• Learn to tell your story with just one point
S2. Pray for opportunities to share your faith.
• Ask not only for the opportunities to come, but also spend some time asking God how you can be more aware when these opportunities present themselves.
• Pray for specific people that God is laying on your heart (write these prayers down, and be as specific as you feel led to be)
