The Big Picture

At the beginning of your lesson, build anticipation by introducing the setting and the significance of what is about to happen in this week's story. {5 minutes}


Remember the boat ride from last week? That journey was memorable to say the least. There was a terrible storm with fierce winds and scary waves. Remember who calmed the storm? Jesus! And how did the disciples respond? They shook in their wet boots. They were “filled with great fear” (Mark 4:41). They also wondered, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” (4:41). Our story today answers that question. We’ll see Jesus rescue a scary man in a scary place. And we’ll see what happens when he encounters an extremely powerful demon named Legion. Will Legion be a match for Jesus? Let’s find out.
