Week 1 : Visits and Violence (Matthew 2:1-18)Bring a number of newspapers to cell. Have everyone skim through them and cut out and articles or pictures of violence. Put them all on one piece of paper in a collage. Then go through the papers again and look for any articles or pictures that speak of hope. Make another collage. Which collage has more pictures? Why is that? What are we to do with all the violence in our world? What do you do in the face of apparent hopelessness? Week 2 : Heaven’s Perspective on Christmas (Rev 12)Where have you seen spiritual warfare this week? In other words, where have you seen a clash between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of the world, or the Enemy? Where have you seen righteousness in battle against evil? Who is winning? (Reminder: See if you can find a news article about the neighbourhood to bring in and discuss, as a way of “reading the world” alongside reading the Word). Week 3 : Heaven’s Perspective on Christmas (Rev 12)What is your favourite word, and why? Is there one word that reminds you of Christmas? (Reminder: See if you can find a news article about your neighbourhood to bring in and discuss, as a way of “reading the world” alongside reading the Word). Week 4 : Waiting (Luke 2:22-40)What is one thing you have had to wait a long time for in your life? (Reminder: See if you can find a news article about your neighbourhood to bring in and discuss, as a way of “reading the world” alongside reading the Word). |
