Have you ever served on jury duty? If so, what was the case about? If not, would you like to be on a jury in the future? Why or why not?

QUICK REVIEW
How aware have you been about the vastness of modern slavery? What do you feel was the main factor in your answer?

DIGGING DEEPER
READ Ecclesiastes 4:1-3
The writer has a very “defeatist” view of life for those who are oppressed, even to the point that it would have been better if they had not been born. How does this mentality differ from the declaration of Jesus in Luke 4:14-21?

READ Matthew 14:14-21
The disciples wanted to send the people away and decided that it wasn’t their job to feed the people. Jesus had a different view of the situation. What does this say about our/your role in dealing with modern day slavery? What other injustices should Christ-Followers be involved in helping to solve?

READ Micah 6:8
This passage states what the Lord “requires” of us, as Christ Followers. How can we live out these 3 different requirements from God in our daily lives? What does this look like for you?

TAKING IT HOME
The GuideMark for this message is “Using the Gifts that I have been given”. You and I must determine if God is calling us to use our resources (time, talents, treasures) to help in ending modern day slavery. Will you commit to pray and seek direction from God on what you are to do? Will you commit to pray for those who are already in the fight to end slavery?
