Sermon: Small Packages, Big Gifts.
Theme: God’s blessings are given in small ways that have large, powerful impacts on our lives, for those who are wise enough to pay attention.
Purpose: The congregation will focus on paying attention to those things that are not as powerful or impressive.
Scriptures: Micah 5:2-5a The prophet identifies that “little” Bethlehem shall be the source of the reign of God’s peace.
Luke 1:39-55 The magnificat of Mary, God is on the side of the small and needy.
Questions:
What are some of the lowly things that God is raising up and making central in the Kingdom of God? What are some of the things that are insignificant as far as the rest of the world is concerned, but are most important in terms of God’s love? What do we need to do in order to shift our focus to see what God is doing in our midst? In what ways is God acting to bring healing and renewal through unexpected acts of love and grace? How can we participate in that promise of bringing healing and love to others?
