Experiencing Joy at Christmas

11/29/2020

 
  • What do you love about the Christmas season?
  • Are there difficult elements to the season?
  • In the message Pastor Ken talked about the Delgado family in Chicago who were joyful and hopeful despite their meager surroundings. Have you know individuals or families like that?
  • What was the life a shepherd like? To whom would you compare them today?
  • What part of their encounter with the angelic messengers stood out for you? Have you had an overwhelming experience with God – what was it like?
  • Why do you think God chose to give this announcement to people like those shepherds?
  • Put yourself in the sandals of those shepherds. When the angels left, what were they thinking? Why did they head to Bethlehem instead of shrugging it all off?
  • What might have been going on in their heads and hearts when they actually found the baby? (verse 16)
  • Look at verses 17-18. What does it say they did? What kind of response do you think they may have gotten? Why?
  • How is our culture good at peddling happiness instead of joy? What’s the difference between the two?
  • What gives you real joy in life?
  • Where have you found joy in the Christmas season?

About Us
First Covenant Church is part of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC), which is a rapidly growing multi-ethnic denomination in the United States and Canada, with ministries on five continents of the world. Founded in 1885 by Swedish immigrants, the ECC values the Bible as the word of God, the gift of God's grace, and an ever-deepening spiritual life that comes through faith with Jesus Christ. We value the importance of extending God's love and compassion to a hurting world, and the strength that comes from unity within diversity. ​
