Message: Luke 8:26-39 “Lessons from the Land: Gergesa” As we continue to visit the places Jesus ministered on the Sea of Galilee, we now move toward the darkest region of all, known as the Decapolis. This was a Gentile region where Jesus extends his ministry beyond the Jewish people and toward the Gentiles. In this place, a man who had been living in separation and exclusion was made whole and restored to his family. This man became a witness of God’s love and power among this non-believing region. The next time Jesus returned here many came out to see him.
