Baptism of Jesus - The Jesus 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.
- What is your favorite part of the Christmas story? Why is it your favorite? 
- Read Luke 2:1-20. In contrast with the power of the Roman empire, an angel appears to shepherds in the fields. The angel announces that a Savior has been born to these shepherds who were commonly considered to be lowly and powerless. Why do you think the birth of Jesus was first announced to people like these shepherds? 
- How has your understanding of Christmas changed the last few years as your faith has grown and your life has adjusted to new circumstances?

What Had happened at Grace this week.
Shifting focus from the temple as a static building, the freely shared reality is that God desires to dwell among us, using our diverse and imperfect gifts as the very means to make His presence known for the benefit of all.
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.
We are the recipients of God's overflowing grace and boundless love. This gift transforms our very identity, compelling us toward a life of radical gratitude and contagious generosity. Let's fully embrace this joyful way to live by sharing our time, talents, and resources.
Moving past a fearful view of evangelism, the richer meaning of the Great Commission is found in Christ's established authority, which turns our lives into a confident declaration of His victory.
