Week 12: Chapter 11 — Free to Set Others Free

1.Rebekah closes the book by circling back to Isaiah 61 and Jesus' reading of it in Luke 4 — the announcement that He came to set captives free, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor. How does Jesus' mission description become a description of our mission as His people?

2.She argues that the freedom you've received uniquely equips you to reach people who are still in the particular bondage you've been set free from. Is there an area of bondage in your past that might become a bridge to someone else? What would it look like to use your story as a gift rather than a secret?

3.Rebekah talks about the 'year of the Lord's favor' — a picture of comprehensive restoration, where every form of captivity is addressed. What would that look like in your neighborhood, your workplace, your family? Who around you is waiting for someone to bring good news?
