Texts:  Luke 10:1-3, 17-20; Acts 19:11-17; Ephesian 6:12, 18; 2 Kings 6:15-17

1. Have you ever had a moment where you tangibly observed the spiritual realm?  If so, explain.
2. How would you separate that which is purely physical verses that which clearly is affected by the spiritual realm?  
3. How would you explain the difference between knowing about Jesus verses knowing Jesus?
4. Do you think we are daily aware of the “rulers in dark places” and the power they have in our culture?  How can we live more in the greater power of Jesus fully aware of the conflict we regularly face?
5. Why do unbelievers have a reaction to Jesus’ name more than any other name, both in profanity, rejection, anger, or in discomfort?
6. How can we as believers invoke the power of Jesus name in prayer, life situations, or in building bridges with our oikos?

Texts:  Psalm 77; 1 Samuel 3:1-10

1. In Revelation 8:1 we read that there was “silence in heaven for about half an hour.” What might be going on in heaven’s silence?
   
   
2. How do you avoid or resist silence?
   
   
3. How much time each day do you give to silence (i.e., no words, printed or audible)?
   
   
4. Do you think God values time with you in silence? Why or why not?
   
   
5. Conversation with others sometimes begins to become a competition of besting the previous person’s story, anecdote, or testimony. This week, practice not interrupting or telling your own story to people in your Oikos. Listen. Ask questions to learn more about them. Return to this later in the week: What did you learn about someone that you never knew before because you listened?
