Bible Verse 1: Isaiah 40: 3-5

                                                                                                     

Video: You Tube – “The Jesus Memo” - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjFEPObXvOM

Bible Verse 2: Luke 3:4-6

Five Questions:

1.     Who is John in this passage from Luke and why did it quote Isaiah

from 600 years before?

2.     Why did Luke want to tell us about the past and about the future by    

using this passage?

3.     Christmas is over and it’s a new year.  Did the “Jesus Memo” make

you think about the past, the future? Why?

4.     Will you help “Prepare the way for the Lord’s coming”? What would that mean for the new year?

5.     Is there anything in the “Jesus Memo” that you could do to help “all people see that salvation (is) sent from God”?

End with a wrap up (5 minutes or less)
