Christmas Bible Study (Luke 1:39-80)

Posted in Bible Study, Christmas, tagged , , on December 8, 2022|

Read Luke 1:39-80
1. Who does Mary go to visit? What happens when she gets there?

2. What prophetic statement does Elizabeth make about the baby Mary is carrying?

3. Verses 46 to 55 of Luke 1 are often referred to as the Magnificat (also known as Song of Mary or Canticle of Mary) What strikes you in this section of scripture?

4. How does Zechariah come to speak again? What is the first thing he says?

5. What does Zechariah say in his prophecy about the Coming One (Messiah)?

6. Imagine that you were Mary, a young woman somewhere between the ages of 14 and 18 living in a small town with your parents. You are visited by an angel and told that you will have a child who sit on the throne of David, fulfilling all the prophecies of Messiah. What would you be thinking? Feeling? Consider the favor shown to Mary. The favor shown to you, a child of God, is much greater than even that shown to Mary. How does that impact you as you prepare for Christmas?

7. Read Luke 1:39-56. Verses 46-55 are known as The Magnificat, and they represent some of what Mary was feeling spoken out in praise to her God. Write out your pray of praise to God for all that He has done for you in and through Christmas.

Posted in Christmas, tagged , , on November 30, 2022|

  1. Consider Emmanuel–God with us. Compare this name for God to the names of God from the Old Testament and record your observations.
    El Roi
    Jehovah Shalom
    Jehovah Rapha
    Elohim
    Adonai

Read Matthew 1

  1. Note all the names that you recognize in the genealogy of Christ. Make a note of what you know about them.
  2. What does Joseph learn about Mary? What is his initial response? Why?
  3. What prophecy is given to Joseph in Matthew 1:18? Who delivers it?

Sometimes God asks us to trust Him–He doesn’t always send angels to convince us. Have you ever had a situation when God wanted you to believe Him and disregard everything and everyone else? Explain.

Christmas Bible Study – Jesus is the Hope of Christmas

Posted in Christmas, tagged , , on November 8, 2022|

The Christmas message is that there is hope for a ruined humanity–hope of pardon, hope of peace with God, hope of glory–because at the Father’s will, Jesus Christ became poor and was born in a stable so that thirty years later, He might hang on a cross.
–J. I. Packer

  1. Some faith traditions begin the Christmas season with Advent. Look up the meaning of this term in a Bible Dictionary or other dictionary and record what you find.
    noun

2. Read the following scriptures and record how they bring hope:
□ Psalm 72:10-14

□ Isaiah 11:1-11

□ Isaiah 42:1-5

□ Isaiah 60:1-3

Read Matthew 2:1-12
1. What caused the Kings to come find the Christ child? Who did they say they were looking for?

Going deeper: What does each gift signify?

Christmas Bible Study – Who is Jesus?

Posted in Christmas, tagged , on December 17, 2019|

The world has struggled with this issue since Jesus came on the scene more than 2000 years ago. Was Jesus simply a man? Was he a great prophet or teacher? Or was He the Christ–the Messiah–the Promised One, fulfilling hundreds of prophecies of the Old Testament prophets?

  1. What does Isaiah 7:14 foretell about Jesus (the Messiah-the Promised One)?

2. What does Isaiah 9:6-7 tell us about the Messiah?

3. What additional information is given regarding the Messiah in Isaiah 11:1?

4. What do you learn from Isaiah 53:1-3

5. When did Isaiah live and give his prophecies?

6. What does the prophet Micah tell us about the birth place of Messiah in Micah 5:2?

7. When did the prophet Micah live and give his prophecies?

8. What does the prophet Zechariah tell us about the Promised One in Zechariah 9:9?

9. When did the prophet Zechariah live and give his prophecies?

10. When you read these prophecies, given hundreds of years before the person they describe was born, by three different men, and you learn that they came true in the person of Jesus, what does that make you think about the Bible? God? Jesus? Yourself?

In every Christmas celebration, there needs to be some consideration of Resurrection Sunday. Before there was Christmas, there was a need for Christmas. Before the birth of the Savior, there was a need for a Savior. Before crucifixion and resurrection, there was a need for atonement and victory over death.

11. What do you learn from the following verses?
□ Leviticus 17:11

□ Romans 6:23

□ Hebrews 9:27

□ Romans 3:10

□ Romans 5:8

□ Romans 10:9-10
