Sermon Questions: Luke 1:57-79
- “He has come.” Christmas celebrates an invasion! Explain this in words that would make sense to the guys at hockey or the women in your running group.
- “And redeemed them.” Agree on what the word ‘redeem’ means and then give a couple of examples of how Jesus has redeemed his people.
- Joy isn’t a feeling but rather coming into alignment with God and His purposes. Explain why you agree or disagree with this.
- “House of his servant David” points unmistakably to the fact that this kid (Mary’s) is going to be a king. Why was a new king such good news to 4 B.C.? Explain the marks of the Kingdom this king will lead.
- Read v.79 and come up with three stories that illuminate the three pieces of the verse.

The group that gathered in Antioch was diverse, zoned in on Jesus and figuring out how to be outward-facing. Your own group will want all that and more!
