9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Our welcome team members will pass an offering basket during this song.

17 And he came down with them and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, 18 who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. 19 And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.

When the King stands among the broken, the power of God breaks in.

I. He Came Down v 17
II. They Came to Hear and Be Healed v 18
III. Power Came Out From Him v 19

Introduction
1. When you think of an emergency room, what stands out to you about the people who are there and why they are there?
2. In what ways do you see signs that our world is not well right now? Where do you see brokenness close to home?

3. In verse 17 Luke says Jesus “came down with them and stood on a level place.” How does this movement connect to the previous verses where Jesus prayed all night and chose the Twelve? What might Luke be showing about the kind of Messiah He is?
4. Verse 17 describes “a great crowd of his disciples” and also “a great multitude of people” from Judea, Jerusalem, and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon. What is the difference between disciples and the larger multitude? Why might Luke highlight people from Tyre and Sidon?
5. In verse 18 the people come “to hear him and to be healed of their diseases,” and those troubled with unclean spirits are cured. What does this combination of physical illness and spiritual oppression reveal about the condition of the people and the scope of Jesus’ authority?
6. Verse 19 says, “power came out from him and healed them all.” What does this statement suggest about the source of the healing? How does this verse deepen our understanding of Jesus’ identity?
7. Luke places this scene immediately before the Sermon on the Plain. How does seeing the needy crowd and the healing power of Jesus shape the way we should understand the teaching that follows?
 
Application
8. Where do you personally feel need right now? Are there areas where you are trying to cope instead of coming to Christ?
9. If Jesus truly has power to forgive, restore, and change lives, how should that shape the way we live and speak in a broken world this week?
