Luke 1:47–52 (NIV) ⇒ Genuine . Luke 14:11 (NIV) Luke 1:53–55 (NIV) ⇒ Spiritual . The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty — it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There’s a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God. – A Simple Path, Mother Teresa Encounter Christmas Practice: Be Present in delivery. Theme: Impossible Possible Share Together: What was the most unexpected gift you have ever received? Reflect Together: What impacted you the most from Sunday’s message and what are your next steps to be present with others this week? Read & Discuss Together: Luke 1:26-38 How do Gabriel’s words to Zechariah (Luke 1:13-17) compare– to his words to Mary? How are Zechariah’s (v. 12 & 18) and Mary’s (v. 34 & 38) responses different? What do you think it was about Mary that led God to choose her to give birth to the Savior of the World? How did her qualities prepare her for her future as the mother of Jesus? Which of Mary’s character qualities do you find important and want to emulate in order for God to use your life in significant ways? What risk was being asked of Mary, and how was her response faith-filled? What has been an unexpected challenge or opportunity God has given you that seemed so impossible? How did you respond and what was the result? What are some current challenges or opportunities that seem impossible? How are you responding to God regarding them? How could you use prayer for the challenges or opportunities you are facing? Pray Together: Take time to pray together as a group/family for not only yourselves, but for those who are facing unexpected challenges this holiday season.
