“SHARING!”

Luke 2:8-20

Rev. Tyler Dirks

Sermon Audio

Sermon Outline:

1. Who God Shares The Moment With
2. Why The Shepherds Are Excited
3. The Excitement Is Contagious!

Reflection Questions:

1. 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.
2. 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)?
3. 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).
4. When have you felt verklempt with joy because God expressly chose to come hang out the ordinary and the odd?
5. 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)
