I hope you're doing well! As we prepare for Christmas, we’ll soon be kicking off a new three-week series called “Illuminate.” Throughout this series, we’ll look at the special role that “light” plays in the Christmas story throughout history, including what it looks like for us to carry the Light of Jesus in our world today.
Series Overview
This three-week series dives into the past, present, and future of the Christmas story while challenging students to carry the light of Jesus into their world.
Session 1: The Light Predicted
Big Idea: Jesus stepped in to meet humanity’s most desperate need.
Question for Discussion: When someone is going through something tough or in a dark place, why do you think it is so hard for that person to talk with others about it?
Session 2: The Light Breaks Through
Big Idea: Jesus is our light in the darkness.
Question for Discussion: How might knowing Jesus accepts everyone, including you, change the way you see yourself and your relationship with others?
Session 3: The Light Within Us
Big Idea: We must carry the light with us.
Question for Discussion: What might it look like for someone’s faith to shine brightly? How might their actions, words, or choices reflect Jesus?
Our hope is that the discussion questions provided above might lead your family to a deeper understanding of your role within the Christmas story. As always, please feel free to reach out if you ever have any questions!
Thanks for letting us be a part of investing in your students and family, if you have any questions or concerns, please email Pastor Zachl!
In His Grace,
Zach Boyer
