Browse these sites, imagining yourself as the poor child, the forsaken elderly person, the prisoner, or the oppressed victim of poverty. Are there days when you feel spiritually poor or impoverished by circumstances that leave you tired and drained? Share these times with each other.
In Luke 4:14-21, Jesus is preaching in the synagogue. He promises that he has the power to free those who believe in him from poverty, imprisonment, and oppression. Discuss the following questions as a family:
Do you think Jesus meant that he would physically free people? Why or why not?
How might someone be free in Jesus without a change of circumstances? Explain.
As a family, take a few moments to brainstorm all the ways that Jesus frees you. How does knowing that you are free in Christ make you feel?

Love God, your God, with your whole heart: love him with all that’s in you, love him with all you’ve got! Write these commandments that I’ve given you today on your hearts. Get them inside of you and then get them inside your children. Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the street; talk about them from the time you get up in the morning to when you fall into bed at night.”
