Sunday

Watch the video as a family. What does it mean to experience “peace” in life? How can talking about Jesus in everyday stressful circumstances make a difference in how you experience his peace? Ask Jesus who you can pray for today, and then do it!

Monday

When have you seen God use the insignificant or overlooked to accomplish his purpose? Where in your life do you feel small or insignificant? How might God be working through you in those areas? Ask Jesus, “Who needs to know that you see them today?”

Tuesday

Read Luke 2:1-11. The story of Christmas never gets old. Why do you think that is? What do you hear in this passage that reminds you of the peace of Jesus’ first and second “advent”? Ask Jesus, “Who do you want me to pray for today?”

Wednesday

What are the areas of your life that feel chaotic or unsettled? How can you invite Jesus to bring his peace into those spaces? Pray, inviting Jesus into the areas of your life void of his peace.

Thursday

Begin today by reading Matthew 1:18-24. How does the reality of Jesus with us through the indwelling Spirit help give you peace? How can personal worship help you keep centered on this truth? Watch the video and worship.

Friday

How do you intentionally keep your eyes on Jesus in the Christmas season? How is the surprise and wonder of Christmas morning a glimpse of what’s possible with Jesus in everyday life? Ask Jesus, “How do you want me to pray today?”

Saturday

How does knowing that Jesus is “Faithful and True” shape your trust in him during this Advent season? How does the image of Jesus in Revelation challenge or comfort you as you reflect on his coming? Ask Jesus, “How can I prepare my heart to live in anticipation of your return?”

Sermon Outline Dec. 7/8

Living Advent
“Peace”
Micah 5:2-5a

Big Idea: Jesus is the completion of God’s promise of peace to all people.

Living Advent remembers peace has come in a person.

We have Christ’s life within us to be agents of peace to the world.

Living Advent looks forward to the return of the Prince of Peace.

Next Steps:

Ask Jesus, “What is one area in my world where you are calling me to actively bring peace?”
