Tanner Heath   -  

Do you have a story or experience that helped you to see how big the world is?

  • Ex. Meeting someone from another culture, spending the night under the stars, taking a boat into the middle of the ocean.

Read the Scripture: Luke 1:26-38

  • Reflect on the sermon. Is there anything that stood out to you?

How did the video from the Bible Project break down misconceptions about angels?

What can you learn from the life of Gabriel and Angels?

  • Luke 1:19, “And the angel answered him, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.”

  • Luke 2:14, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”

  • Psalm 91:11, Luke 15:10, Hebrews 1:14

  • The Angels stood back while Christ suffered.

Think about the points from the sermon. What stands out to you?

  1. The gift we’ve received is cosmic in nature.

  2. The gift we’ve received is unique in creation.

  3. The gift we’ve received is unbelievably priceless

What is this gift that we have received?

  • What were the angels proclaiming at the birth of Jesus?

The Angels were able to witness the radiance of God. How do you see or experience the radiance of God in your life?
