[Sunday] Christmas Letter - Emmanuel: Joy in the Midst

ServiceSundaySermonsNews
Written By Cris Escher

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

  1.  If you were writing a Christmas card about your life over the past year, what details would you include?  

  2. 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?

  3. Read Luke 7: 11-16.   What was the woman’s problem?  How does God visit her?

  4. How might you encourage someone this advent season that Jesus has come to be with them?

Psalm 1 provides a blueprint for spiritual life, and helps us see how Jesus grew into His Messianic role.  Psalm 2 broadens from individual growth to God's MESSIANIC PLAN for the world and takes in the entire sweep of history.  This Sunday we are in an Advent state of mind.  Next Sunday we celebrate Christmas in July through the eyes of the Magi.

It was a wonderful week for the kids! They engaged their senses with a blindfolded smell-guessing activity and expanded their palates by sampling mangoes for their tropical fruit feature. They also learned about the story of Paul’s conversion on the road to Damascus.
