SERMON OUTLINE:
1: Gabriel announces John’s birth, Zechariah responds (Luke 1:5-25).
2: Gabriel announces Jesus’ birth, Mary responds (Luke 1:26-38).
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
- Do you ever feel that God owes you? When are you most tempted to doubt His Word? How does Zechariah’s example warn or encourage you?
- What about Mary’s response is most interesting to you? How are you impacted by her example?
- How can we cultivate humility in our hearts (similar to Mary)? How can we avoid having a callous heart (as opposed to Zechariah)?
