The Gospel of Luke - 02/25/24 - Ps. Chad Blansit

DESCRIPTION: Join us as we continue series on the Book of Luke!     TALK IT OVER QUESTIONS: What was your biggest takeaway from this weeks message?  What is one specific thing that God is speaking to you through this study?    What are some characteristics of Mary that stand out to you and why?  Why do you think God chose her?  Put yourself in her shoes, what were some possible issues that might come up in Mary’s life when she submits to God’s plan?    The angel Gabriel was sent to let Mary know that she found favor with God and would give birth to Jesus. After a question or two, she replied, “I am the Lord’s servant, let it all be as you say.” For Mary to say “I am Your servant” is a great sign of surrender.  For Mary to have such a great surrender, it meant she would need to trust God with her entire life. Thinking about surrender: where, how, or what do you want/need to surrender to God in this season of your life? What is holding you back from such surrender? Why is it so hard to surrender ALL of our lives to God?   Mary is magnifying God because he has done great things for her. Name several great things that God has done for you.   Read Isaiah 9:6-7 & then read Luke 1:21-33. Isaiah prophecies who Jesus will be and the angel gives a four-fold prophetic message about Jesus. When you read these verses, what part about the prophecy are you most looking for in Jesus?       CONNECT WITH US:  Decided to follow Jesus today? New to Destiny Church or want to get involved?
