- Isaiah 7: 10-14
- Psalm 24: 1-2, 3-4, 5-6
- Romans 1: 1-7
- Matthew 1: 18-24
- Reading the signs of the times
- Survivalists work to get "off the grid" and simplify their lives so that when Armageddon comes around, they will not have any reliance on flimsy technologies. Such folks have significant stores of food, ... and ammo, laid by against the day when justice and order as we know it collapses.
- What future do you see ahead of us all?
- What are you doing to prepare for it?
- A captive audience
- If the earth is the Lord's, and he loves it, why do you think that He put it into our care?
- What of this present existence do you think will last into eternity?
- What does that say about how we care for what we have on this planet?
- Slavery making it simple
- A slave never has to stress over their position in life, who they server, what the limits are to the initiative which they can take.
- In what ways are we like slaves to God?
- In what ways are we like sons and daughters?
- Can we be both?
- A little more information please ...
- Notice that the angel just told Joseph that this whole thing was part of God's plan, but never really said why that should make Joseph feel better.
- Has God ever asked you to trust Him?
- Was there a process in growing in that trust over time?
- How can we be better able to trust God?
- Am I willing and able to leave this life that I have here and now behind to serve God?
- Am I letting God be present to those around me through His creation?
- What of my parish, family, and my life would I want to share with someone in ndeed?
- What am I doing to grow in trust in God?
Shalom!
