“SHARING!”
Luke 2:8-20
Rev. Tyler Dirks
Sermon Outline:
- Who God Shares The Moment With
- Why The Shepherds Are Excited
- The Excitement Is Contagious!
Reflection Questions:
- Do you imagine God as Someone(s) who gets excited? Or do you picture God as dour and austere? Read Zephaniah 3:14-20 and Nehemiah 8:9-12 and force yourself to fixate on this fundamental festive facet of God’s personality.
- How do you feel about the fact that God says that leaders should be followed in a way that makes them glad and joyful? (see Heb.13:17; 2 Cor. 2:1-2). Who do you joyfully listen to (even when they tell you that you’re wrong, and their leadership seems perilous and foolish)?
- Who is someone that Jesus hangs out with, and you have a problem with the fact that Jesus is hanging out with that person? (see Jonah 4 and Luke 15:30, 19:7).
- When have you felt verklempt with joy because God expressly chose to come hang out the ordinary and the odd?
- How have you recently reveled in the fact that God is excited to call you out of hiding and expose everything shameful you’ve ever done, and in so doing – envelope you in His joy and grant you freedom? (See John 4:29)
