Reference: Mark 5:1-19

Big Idea and Motions: God is strong and on our side!

  • God - point up
  • Strong - flex your muscles
  • On our side - point to yourself with both thumbs as you say each word

  • Lord - point up
  • My side - point with both fingers to the spot next to you, as if God is standing by your side
  • Will not - wag your finger “no”
  • Fear - put your hands on your cheeks and look scared
  • What can - hold out your arms and shrug your shoulders
  • Man - flex your muscles
  • Me - point to yourself with two thumbs
