Sermon Questions:
- Pray
- Read Luke 1:5-25
- In your life, is there a prayer request you have prayed for over a long time? How long? Do you feel like you have gotten an answer to this prayer?
- How do you respond when you feel like your prayers have not been answered? Mad at God? Keep praying? Something else?
- Had you ever considered the state of the world on the “eve” of the first Christmas? What are some of the “dark moments” you may be experiencing as you head toward the Christmas holiday this year?
- Gabriel tells Zechariah that his prayer had been answered (regarding his son). This was not only a blessing to Zechariah and Elizabeth, but to all people, because it informed the world that the Messiah (Jesus) would soon arrive! Zechariah may have assumed the answer was “no” (to his prayers), but in reality the answer was “not yet.” At the fullness of time, his prayer would be answered. How does this encourage you to keep praying in your own life?
- Zechariah fails to believe the word that came to him from the Lord and had to deal with the consequences of that. When it comes to salvation through Jesus, are you believing the Word of the Lord? Are you trusting in Him?
- Consider reading through the “Christmas Morning” reading plan this Christmas season (pastormarkrobinson.com)
- What stands out to you most from this message? Any particular takeaway?
