Worship Fully | Nov 28 – Dec 3, 2016
Big Idea
This Christmas, let us conspire to Worship Fully and not miss the God who is with us.
Scripture
Luke 1:46-55 (Mary’s Song) & Luke 2:8-20 (Shepherds)
Icebreaker
What’s your favorite Christmas memory?
“Creator of all, as we begin this holy Christmas season, filled with the hope of the coming of the Messiah, quiet our hearts and minds that we may worship you fully, love you more dearly, and see you more clearly. Amen.”
Bible Discussion
1. Read Luke 1:46-55 and Luke 2:8-20— What struck you about Mary’s song? What struck you about the shepherds’ story?
Life Application Questions
2. Have you ever known someone who even in the midst of hard situations still chose to worship?
3. What are the busy, busy things that keep you from worshipping fully?
4. What are the pressures you feel to embrace the consumerist, individualistic world rather than our true Kingdom of God?
Next Steps / Challenges for Next Week
5. What steps do you need to take this Advent to make sure you are worshipping FULLY and not worshipping LASTLY?
6. We’re challenging each other to be more generous through the One Initiative this year. In what ways can we be more generous this Advent? Brainstorm ways you (and your small group) can be generous with your time and resources this month.
