The Christmas Conspiracy
: the Gift with a CostSunday, Dec 14 2008
Grace may be free, but it's never cheap. This Christmas we celebrate a Messiah, a deliverer, who was born to die. We, too, are called to give ourselves sacrificially with Christ for the world...
- In your opinion, what should the church's Christmas mission be every year?
- Do you feel that you insulate yourself from the evils and suffering that happen in the world? How and why do you do that?
- Do you view the gift of Christ coming to Earth as a great sacrifice of God? How was it a sacrifice?
- What ordinary person has had an extraordinary effect or influence on your life? Whom are you influencing with your life right now?
- Name a time God met you in the middle of a life crisis or life struggle? What did God do?
- Do you think you are somewhat oblivious to the sin in your life and its effects? Why are the sins of others so easy to see and condemn?
- How will you commit to living solely for God and God's purposes this year? What sacrifices will you possibly make to do that?
