Behold (2) Christmas at Mandarin 2020

Scripture: Luke 2.25-38; Psalm 136; Psalm 86.11; Micah 7.7

Suddenly there was a multitude of heavenly hosts with the angel, praising God and saying: Glory to God in the highest….  - Luke 2.13-14

1- Spend some time in Luke 2.25-38.  What do you learn about worship from Simeon and Anna? Talk about their character traits and how those traits postured their life as enduring worshippers? How is God developing your life and your preparations as a worshipper?  What could be a first next step to deepen as a worshipper?

2- Luke 2.35 reads that Jesus foray to earth reveals the thoughts and hearts of many. The psalmist calls for an undivided heart for each of us. What are your answers for these questions from our gathering this week.  How can I endure in worship, even in the trials and challenges that daily come my way? How can I prepare the way to be the true worshipper for which I was formed?  As my heart and soul repeatedly sings the Glorious Hallel (Psalm 136), how can might this bring back into focus a sense of the unending and faithful love of God?  Imagine what God will reveal as we grow as worshippers.

His faithful love endures forever. - Psalm 136
