[Sunday] Following Light - The Book of Advents

ServiceSundaySermons
Written By Cris Escher

The Magi followed God’s light of a star. Wait, those foreigners were following God’s light? Surely God’s people will follow the light rather than going back to darkness.

Questions for this week.

  1. In your own words, before rereading in the Bible, tell the story of the wise men.

  2. Read Matthew 2:1-12.  Now retell the story of the Magi.   

  3. How does Herod and all Jerusalem respond to the news that the Magi bring? 

  4.  Why do you think they respond that way?

  5. Read Isaiah 60:1-6.  How can we follow the light of Jesus, as he brings the nations and Magi of the world to him?

Revelation Ch 21-22 Bible Study
Revelation Ch 21-22 Bible Study

We traced Revelation 21–22 as the climactic reunification of heaven and earth, connecting its temple/tabernacle imagery, priestly stones, and the Bride/City to Eden’s river and tree of life, contrasting Babylon’s coercive economy with God’s freely given water of life and the Lamb’s healing light for the nations.

Overturning the common belief that grace is reluctantly earned, the freely given reality of the Gospel is that God's salvation flows from His eager delight to love and forgive us.
