BULLETIN


Below are some questions to help you reflect on the sermon:


  1. Why do you think it’s so easy to point at others and say, “Don’t be like those people”? Have there been times when you felt tempted to do this?
  2. Read Matthew 3:1-17. What does John the Baptist seem to be doing? How do people respond? How does Jesus respond?
  3. The sermon talked about hearts "growing three sizes," like the Grinch. What would it look like for our hearts to grow in love toward others this Christmas? Who are the “those people” in your life that you might need to love or celebrate with?

Bulletin


Here are some questions to help you reflect on the sermon:

  1. Have you ever experienced a moment in your life when you felt like you could hear "bells" breaking through a time of pain or despair? How did that moment impact you?
  2. Read Matthew 2:13-23. (See also Exodus 1:1-13)What similarities do you see in Matthew to what God’s people went through in Exodus? How is God always at work saving his people in both accounts?
  3. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day during the Civil War, a time of personal and national struggle. How can we find hope in difficult circumstances, even when it feels like there is no peace?
  4. The sermon compared the despair at the cross with the hope of Jesus’ resurrection. How does knowing that Jesus was raised give you hope when facing struggles or brokenness in your life?
