Luke 4:14-21
Questions:
- What about the Holy Spirit makes some people nervous? What is your own comfort level with the thought of the Holy Spirit showing up in power?
- Read v.14. Why does it matter that Jesus did his ministry “in the power of the Spirit?” What does that mean for us as we do what Jesus does?
- What is the mission of the Church? How would you explain this assignment to a new believer?
- On a scale of 1-10, how eager are you to proclaim the good news of Jesus? How would you rate our eagerness as a church? What keeps us from being a 10?
- Have you experienced the Holy Spirit’s presence and power in your life? Tell the story.
