[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?

[Sunday] The Bow - Missio Dei Part 5

When we read the flood story, it's so easy to focus on the destruction, but the true focus is the rainbow. 1 Peter chapter 3 shows us something amazing: God’s bow points us straight to the cross, the empty tomb, and the hope we have in deep waters.
