Discussion Questions:
Feel free to use some or all of these questions in your cell group, Bible study, or with your family.  Some questions will need to be reworded or omitted for smaller children.

1) What do you think about all those passages in the Bible where Jesus casts out demons?  Do you think demons were real, are they real?  Have you ever encountered one?  

2) Where does evil come from?  Have you ever encountered a truly evil person?  

3) What can you do about the evil around you?  What can you do about the evil in your own heart and mind?
