You Belong: Week 3

Big Idea of the Series: This four-week series looks at the great invitation of the gospel: to join the household of faith and become a child of God. Over the course of this series, congregants will be inspired not only to go deeper into their relationship with God but also to go and proclaim the good news to others.

Big Idea of the Message: Jesus crosses cultural barriers and then sends us.

Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You wanna go where people know
People are all the same
You wanna go where everybody knows your name
Jesus crosses cultural barriers.
Where is your faith?
Who is this man?
Luke 8:28-39 NLT
As soon as he saw Jesus, he shrieked and fell down in front of him. Then he screamed, “Why are you interfering with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Please, I beg you, don’t torture me!”For Jesus had already commanded the evil spirit to come out of him. This spirit had often taken control of the man. Even when he was placed under guard and put in chains and shackles, he simply broke them and rushed out into the wilderness, completely under the demon’s power.Jesus demanded, “What is your name?” “Legion,” he replied, for he was filled with many demons.The demons kept begging Jesus not to send them into the bottomless pit.There happened to be a large herd of pigs feeding on the hillside nearby, and the demons begged him to let them enter into the pigs. So Jesus gave them permission.Then the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the entire herd plunged down the steep hillside into the lake and drowned.When the herdsmen saw it, they fled to the nearby town and the surrounding countryside, spreading the news as they ran.People rushed out to see what had happened. A crowd soon gathered around Jesus, and they saw the man who had been freed from the demons. He was sitting at Jesus’ feet, fully clothed and perfectly sane, and they were all afraid.Then those who had seen what happened told the others how the demon-possessed man had been healed.And all the people in the region of the Gerasenes begged Jesus to go away and leave them alone, for a great wave of fear swept over them. So Jesus returned to the boat and left, crossing back to the other side of the lake.The man who had been freed from the demons begged to go with him. But Jesus sent him home, saying“No, go back to your family, and tell them everything God has done for you.” So he went all through the town proclaiming the great things Jesus had done for him.
Tell people everything God has done for you.
You can reach people no one else can reach.

Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You wanna go where people know
People are all the same
You wanna go where everybody knows your name
