Un/Broken - End of Week 3

SMALL GROUP STUDY GUIDE

END OF WEEK 3                                                                                                                                                    Small Group Discussion Guide

The following guide is designed to serve as a potential framework for your discussion.  Feel free to use it as is or adapt as the Spirit leads.

OPEN
What are your thoughts about demon possession and mental health in Scripture?  What did you hear growing up?  Was there such a thing as mental health, or was it all demon possession, or vice versa?

GETTING INTO THE TOPIC
Do you think demon possession happens today?  Why or why not?

Do you think a demon could also possess a person who surrendered to Christ?  Explain.

HEAD
Read 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 and share any wisdom, insights, or impressions you received from reading the Word.

What does spiritual warfare look like today in our Western world?
How do we take captive our thoughts and fight back against the darkness?
Read Luke 8: 26-39 and share any wisdom, insights, or impressions you received from reading the Word.

Why do you think the demons yelled and shrieked when they came in contact with Jesus?
This exchange between Jesus and the demons was the longest of any other story.  Usually, the demons just said who Jesus was and did whatever he said.  Why do you think Jesus allowed this exchange?  Why let them into the pigs instead of the abyss or bottomless pit?

In verse 35, why do you think the people were afraid of seeing the man with Jesus being sane and in his right mind?  Wouldn’t this be time to rejoice?

HEART
How can you and I help each other remember that the battles we face every day have a physical and spiritual component?

How can we help each other fight the battle?

HANDS
What’s one thing your Connect Group members can pray over for you today that concerns your own battle?  When you close your connect group time, have one person commit to pray over another person until every person is covered in prayer.  Then, share those prayers with the team so that over the next week, your Connect Group family can continue lifting you in prayer.

WORDS TO REMEMBER
“Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11 NLT
