Hope
This week, while you meet with your Faith Formation Group you may want to reflect on our Scripture passage by reading Isaiah 7:14 (printed below) and discuss the questions from the Scripture and Sermon as a way to begin a conversation.
All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’). Isaiah 7:14
Questions for Consideration:
- Take time to examine your past year, where have you struggled and where have you found victory?
- Think about a best friend other than your spouse (for most of us our spouse is our best friend). Share with the group something that is special about this friend and what it feels like when you are hanging out with this friend?
- Isaiah in his great prophetic message of hope is telling the people that God is coming to “hang out with them.” What are the implications of having God walking with you at your side?
As you meet this week, we encourage you to also take time to open yourselves up as a group and dialog on the following Wesley Challenge question: Am I enjoying prayer? (Pages 23-27 in The Wesley Challenge)
