Sermon Questions:
- Pray
- Read Luke 1:39-56
- Have you ever had an experience where someone said “who cares?” to you … and it really bothered you? Why do you think this phrase bothers us so much?
- Do you believe the Lord cares for you? What evidence do you have to support the idea that He cares for you … not just in the BIG things, but in the everyday things as well?
- God cared for Mary through her time with Elizabeth. So often God cares for us through the ministry of other believers. Share a time when God cared for you through the service or presence of another person.
- God wants to care for others through you! What are some ways you can care for others in Jesus’ name this Christmas season?
- Mary did not magnify her problems, herself, or her person. Instead, she magnified the Lord! What are you tempted to magnify INSTEAD of the Lord in your life?
- Brainstorm a list of 12 things about Jesus that you want to magnify and meditate on this Christmas season.
- What is one particular application you took away from this message?
