Watch here! Big Idea: A rough start prepares for a life journey. 1. You are more qualified than you think. 2. God will give you confirmation. 3. Everyone needs an Elizabeth. 4. Trust God when faced with the impossible. Questions 1.Share a “rough start/time” in your life (as you feel comfortable) 2.What specific emotions do you think Mary & Joseph felt leading up to Jesus’ birth? 3.Have you ever experienced God confirmation a direction you felt called to move in? 4.Mary and Zachariah both respond with the word “how?” when presented with the angel’s message of what God was doing.Have you ever had an experience of God working in unexpected ways in your life? (even if you only realized it afterwards) 5.Do you have an “Elizabeth” in your life? Someone who encourages and supports you (specifically in your faith). 6.How can Mary, Joseph, and Zachariah’s story give us hope about how God is working in our life? 7.How does trusting in God change how we face things that seem “impossible”? 8.Is there a current circumstance that you need to trust God with?
