Rewriting Christmas - Mary, did you know?
When God asks, a servant answers, “yes.”
What’s one idea from the message that stood out to you? Why do you think it grabbed you?
What Christmas traditions do you have? Has anyone ever tried to change them? What was that like?
Do you put up a nativity set in your house? What’s it like?
Read: Luke 1:26-38, Isaiah 7:14.
How can having the details of Jesus’s birth incorrectly in our minds cause problems?
What do you imagine being your first response if an angel were to appear before you, like Gabriel did with Mary?
Are you a person that says “yes” to something before knowing all the details?
What has God done through you when you’ve said yes? What have you said “no” to?
Do you see yourself as a servant of God? Why or why not?
Do you believe that nothing is impossible with God? Does the way you live reflect your answer? Why or why not?
Prayer: Pray for the courage to say yes when God asks something of you.
