On Sunday, December 28, 2025 at Wildwood Community Church I preached a sermon based on Luke 1:57-80. This message was part 5 of the “Christmas Morning” sermon series. Below you will find questions related to the message for personal reflection or group discussion. You will also find audio and video of the message to listen to/watch, download, or share.
Sermon Questions:
- Pray
- Read Luke 1:57-80
- Are there sections of the Scripture that you are tempted to view as “flyover” country? Which ones? Why do you feel that way about those passages?
- John the Baptist was not just a promise given to Zechariah and Elizabeth, but he was a real person who was born! Are there promises in the Bible you are tempted to think are simply God “saying something nice” instead of promising to actually do something for us?
- What do you call good fortune in your life? Luck? Something you have earned? God’s mercy? What can you learn from Zechariah and Elizabeth’s attitude to what God had done in their life to help you respond appropriately to what He has done/is doing for you?
- In 1:67-79, John prophecies and sings about God’s character and what He is doing through Jesus Christ. What stands out to you most about what John says about Jesus?
- Which story are you most likely to tell? A story of complaint? Of your exploits and successes? Or the story of God’s grace? How can you share this story more effectively in the new year?
- What stands out to you most from this message? Any particular takeaway?
