Before the Session

• Have the Bible Background Video ready to view.
• Review today’s scripture text and the session activities to help better facilitate the discussion.
• Encourage your group to listen to the Faithelement podcast ahead of the next session (Share the link via email or social media).

Context

Play the Luke 4 video then ask:

• What about these words most stands out to you and why?
• How did displaying them this way make you feel and why?
• In what ways might you have done this differently?
• One of the toughest challenges congregations face is those that arise when something is done or said in a way that it has not been done before. Why are we sometimes offended by messages – even familiar ones – delivered in new ways?

Content

Read Luke 4:14-21, then watch the Bible Background Video.
