O Holy Night
1) Just for Fun: How do you prepare your heart and mind for the Christmas season (by reading Christmas devotionals, read a Christmas book, Study the Christmas story, ponder the meaning of the season, etc.)?
2) We learned Sunday that even in Bible times the world experienced weariness. Mary, for instance, traveled miles through the desert on the back of a donkey while 9 months pregnant. What do you think gave Mary hope in the weariness we know she had to experience throughout all her pregnancy?
What has given you hope and the ability to rejoice when weariness invades the landscape of life?
3) Everyone would probably agree there's a big difference between what we need and what we want. Describe a time when you were dealing with weariness and God gave you just what needed instead of what you really wanted. How did you respond? And did you discover that what God gave turned out to be even greater than you thought it could? Explain.
4) Read Hebrews 10:23 in a couple different translations. How does that verse of scripture land on you?
5) What was your main take-a-way, or what ministered to you the most, from Sunday's sermon?
