KNOW CHRIST AS KING
K1 What does this story reveal about Jesus’ authority over spiritual forces—and what does that mean for us today? K2 Why do you think the people in the region asked Jesus to leave after witnessing the man’s transformation? What does that say about how we respond to Christ’s power?
GROW IN GROUPS
G1 In what ways was the man in the story truly “transformed” by Jesus—mentally, spiritually, socially? How can that encourage us in areas where we long for change?
G2 Jesus sent the man home instead of letting him follow—why do you think that was? What does that teach us about where and how Jesus calls us to serve?
G3 What fears, habits, or lies has Jesus set you free from—or is still working on in your life?
G4 How does the man’s story challenge or encourage you in sharing your own story of transformation with others?
SHOW UP AND SERVE
S1 Take a moment to reflect on your cue card: “I was…” / “Through Jesus, I am…”. How can you share that transformation story this week—with someone close to you, or even on social media—to point others to Christ?
