[Sunday] Christmas Letter - Emmanuel: Joy in the Midst
Ahh the Classic Christmas Letter, where we divulge all the braggadocious details of our year but leave out certain difficult parts of struggle. What details would Zecheriah include in a letter? Helping the Temple? Going mute because of unbelief? Childlessness? But Emmanuel comes into his and our midst bringing songs of joy.
QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK: Emmanuel: Joy in the Midst
If you were writing a Christmas card about your life over the past year, what details would you include?
Read Luke 1:5-25, 57-80. Why do you think Zecheriah doesn’t believe the angel? What happens to him? How does Elizabeth respond to the news? What does she say about God? What does Zecheriah realize in v.57-69?
Read Luke 7: 11-16. What was the woman’s problem? How does God visit her?
How might you encourage someone this advent season that Jesus has come to be with them?
