This advent season we are looking at how God is With Us and what exactly that brings us.
Read Luke 1:5-25 in preparation.

GOING DEEPER...
1. Recall a time when you were extremely hopeful.
Did what you were hoping for or in come through?
2. What is the difference between biblical hope and worldly hope?
3. Read Psalm 62:5-8. Where does our hope come from and why?
4. Read Hebrews 6:13-20. What is our hope based on?
5. What are you hopeful for today and are you certain of its reality?
