Celebrate--Lesson 1--From Barren to Blessed--Luke 1:1-25

Discussion Questions:

1.  What has caused you to feel as if God is silent or leaving your life barren?  How have you seen Him take you from barrenness to blessings?

2.  What does an emphasis of preparation that leads to celebration show you for experiencing more in your spiritual walk?  What kind of preparation helps you in your daily walk with God?

3.  Why is the long game important when it comes to God’s promises?  How is your life part of what God has been doing for generations prior to you? 

4.  What difficulty do you have doing nothing to balance yourself and no longer being yourself as Jesus carries us across the tightropes of life?  Why is it so difficult to let go like this?

5.  How have you seen moments of doubt and a lack of faith result in silencing the effectiveness of one’s witness?  What do you learn from Zacharias’ second opportunity to provide a witness of what God has done?
