[Sunday] Clean Vines - Comfort Comfort
Like a vine tender cares for their vineyard, Jesus nurtures each branch. Nicodemus, once overgrown and shadowed, needed pruning to grow in the light. At the cross, after 3 years of pruning, everyone else saw only darkness, but Nicodemus saw the light of the King.

To the lost souls feeling orphaned, the lonely drawing water in the heat, the outcasts fearing rejection, and those trembling before evil's seeming victory. Jesus comforts, "I am your hope, and darkness has no hold on you."

QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK: EMMANUEL: JOY IN THE MIDST - Oh Christmas Tree
Describe a time when a Christmas celebration didn’t quite go as planned.
Read Matthew 1:18-25. How does Joseph’s life not quite go as planned? How does God work anyway?
Read Matthew 9: 9-13. Why did Jesus eat with Matthew’s friends? Why did the Pharisees complain about it?
Think of some shortcomings in your life? What does it mean that Emmanuel comes even for those times?

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
If you were writing a Christmas card about your life over the past year, what details would you include?
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?
Read Luke 7: 11-16. What was the woman’s problem? How does God visit her?
How might you encourage someone this advent season that Jesus has come to be with them?
