Message Questions:

- Why do you think the Pharisees resorted to a strange theory that Jesus was in league with the devil rather than accept the exorcism as a sign that he was the Messiah?
- Of those in the crowd—the amazed; the skeptical; or the religious—which have you most often aligned with? Has it changed over the course of your life?
- Do you have any areas of your life that are “unoccupied”—where Jesus is not fully welcome? What would it look like to invite him in as master?
