What did you do this week that required faith?  How did it deepen your trust in God?

 

In what ways does the man’s story reflect the larger story of humanity— creation, brokenness, redemption, restoration?

 

Before Jesus healed him, the man was defined by his captivity.

  • What things have defined your identity apart from Christ?
  • How does Jesus change that?

 

 

Jesus gave the man a new identity and a new purpose — to go and tell his story.

  • How has Jesus redefined your story?
  • What purpose has He given you?

 

The healed man was told to go back to his people.

  • Who are “your people”?
  • What would it look like to share what the Lord has done for you with them?
