Gentlemen,

After a neat reminder in Psalm 145, that God’s Greatness is “Unsearchable,” I thought it would be a cool idea to look at a Bible text together and mine the riches of the greatness of Christ. 
So here's the gameplan:
-I will give you a Bible passage 
-Read it/make some observations about the text (you can use the list of questions that I provide), some studying & meditating will be required
-We will work through the text on Friday in a Bible study discussion format
Why do this:
-I like the idea of being in a text together
-We will be edified by the text
-We want to make sure we’re good at studying a Bible passage.
So here is the Bible text:
Luke 8:26-39, “Jesus heals a man with a demon”
Question that may help guide you in studying the text:
  1. Where is “the country of the Gerasenes” located?
  2. Why did Jesus come here?
  3. Why did the demoniac come to Jesus?
  4. What is the point/purpose of demons entering people?
  5. What are the “tombs” like in the culture and context?
  6. Is it common for demons to cry out around Christ in the gospel accounts?
  7. Why did the demoniac fall down?
  8. In v.26 is the man or the demon speaking?
  9. What does a loud voice indicate? Shouting?
  10. How did the demoniac know that this was Jesus?
  11. How did the demoniac know that this was the Son of God?
  12. Why does the demon assume that Jesus is going to torment him?
  13. Why would the demoniac be put into chains?
  14. What is the point of Jesus interacting with the demoniac?
  15. What does “legion” mean?
  16. Why would the demons want to go into pigs?
  17. Why would the demons want to kill the pigs?
  18. Why were the people afraid?
  19. Why didn’t the people respond with reverent worship?
  20. Did the man show signs of not only being healed but also being saved?
  21. Why would Jesus want the demoniac to go back to his hometown?
  22. In the 21st century why is it important to know that Jesus has power over the spiritual realm?
  23. What is some practical/personal application?

Hope you can make it, the discussion will be profitable.
