Give More | Dec 11 – 17, 2016

Big Idea

This Christmas, let us conspire to Give More and bless the ones we love.

Scripture

John 1:1-18, Philippians 2:5-11

Icebreaker

What was the most memorable gift you received last year for Christmas?

Bible Discussion

1. Read John 1:1-18, what struck you or stood out to you?

2. What are the different ways that Jesus was a gift to us?

3. Reread verses 15 – 18. How are we now gifted to give life and love in turn by Jesus’ life and presence for others?

Life Application

4. God’s gift to us was personal, relational, and pricey. What kind of gift of presence could you give?

5. Are you in danger of losing Christmas to the pressures of family, friends, or work? What are some ways you can keep Christmas about Jesus?

Next Steps | Challenges for This Week

6. As you think about who you want to share presence with this week, read Philippians 2:5-11 and reflect on it. In ways did Jesus model servant-hood? Where could this be necessary this Christmas?
