Zechariah - Christmas Experience

Advent Table Talk Questions

Use these questions to reflect on the message this week. Gather with your family, or a few friends and dig a little deeper into scripture and The Christmas Experience this year.

1. Tell of a time when a Christmas experience did not go as planned.

2. Read Luke 1:1-25. How did Zachariah’s experience not go quite as planned when he entered the temple?

3. In the temple things didn't quite go as planned for Zechariah. An angel of God met him and said his wife, who was beyond childbearing years, would become pregnant with a messenger of God’s Savior.  After this extreme experience he was made unable to speak.

   1. What would be going through your heart and mind as you experienced this angel of the Lord if you were Zechariah?

   2. What would you be thinking and feeling about the encounter if you then lost something afterwards, like you ability to speak?

4. After Zechariah's experience, his wife gave birth to John who would point people to Jesus, the Savior who will serve all of humanity.  At John’s circumcision, Zechariah gives a blessing pointing people to Jesus, this servant. Read this blessing in Luke 1:67-79. What are ways you might serve you neighbor or point people to Jesus through your words and actions this Advent season?
