HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ LUKE 1:26-38
Mary had to shoulder the responsibility of birthing, raising and caring for… Jesus… talk about responsibility! What would it be like to be the ONE person in all of human history who gets to raise God as a baby?!? God’s plans are always higher than our own because God is greater than us. He always calls and leads us to greater things because He can see what we can’t. This is the message of Christmas!
HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ REVELATION 19:11-16
Christmas gives us the opportunity to reflect on the past and hope for the future. The birth of Jesus demands we also contemplate the next time He will come… to make things right again. Heaven is real and Christmas is the ultimate opportunity to talk about exactly that.
APPLICATION
PRAYER
Pray that this Christmas would be the most special holiday because of the many ways God reminds you of His love and leads you to impact the world around you.
