Mark 5:1-20 - Satan, Society & Savior

Our Middle School CT teacher, Patty Young, speaks on the end of Philippians 1. 
 
Here are some questions to think through on your own or with your friends! 
 
1. What does a group look like that isn't unified vs a group that is unified? How does a group become unified? What kinds of things can destroy the unity of a group? 
2. How can we strengthen our faith so that when hard times come, we can stand firm in what we believe? 
3. When have you experienced suffering for your faith in Jesus? What was that like for you? How did you get through it? Why would I even be willing to suffer for God? 
4. Can you think of other ways we can honor God in how we live our lives? How can we honor God as we relate to each other?
