[Sunday] Guiding Light - Kingdom Way
- The Magi following the light of a star mirrors how God has always worked, giving a light to follow through the wilderness, away from the darkness that holds us down.
Questions for the Week: Kingdom Way: Guiding Light
What do you have on top of your Christmas tree? A star? An angel? Something else? Why is that important to your household?
What do you think the star represented for the Magi in the story? How does it compare to the angels' role in other parts of the Christmas story?
Read Matthew 2:1-13. People often get too focused on the power of earthly rulers like Herod. What are some examples of times when we might be tempted to focus more on worldly power than on God's true power?
The sermon talks about how the Magi were “unlikely” people to be part of the story. How does this remind us of God’s ability to use anyone, no matter their background, for His purposes? Can you think of examples from your own life where God brought an unexpected person into His family?
Listen to the bells being rung, God’s promise of peace, hope, and salvation breaking into the world, even in the midst of suffering.
