Anticipation -- Joy

The exhilarating expectancy in the air on Christmas morning before you and your family open gifts; eagerly waiting for a big hug from the friend you haven’t seen in a long time; having trouble sleeping the night before a new job starts, or the first day of school. What do all of these scenarios have in common?

Anticipation! In this series, we will be exploring the peace, love, joy, and hope we receive when we live in anticipation of Jesus’ return.

Here are some questions to help you process this message and apply it to your life:

1. When do you begin your Christmas shopping? Why do you start then?

2. How did you find The Meeting Place?

3. Read Luke 15:3-10. What stood out for you in these two stories? Why?

4. Share a time when you or someone you know lost something of value or importance to you that was successfully found. 

5. Have you been baptized? If so, share your experience. If you haven’t yet but you feel it’s your next step, what is holding you back?
