Lakeside Church

Sunday, Dec. 3 / Advent: Mary

These questions are connected to the message, Advent: Mary from Sunday, Dec. 3, 2023. You can watch it here.

  1. What stood out for you from this message? What challenged you, inspired you, or confused you?
  2. Marc described living in Nazareth as being unreliable, unstable, and unpredictable. When you think of Mary’s life, how does this contradict what you may have thought about her before hearing this message? 
  3. Was your life interrupted at some point? Are there things in your life you thought you would be doing but you sensed God calling you in a different direction? What did you have to give up and how has your life changed as a result?
  4. What are some of the ways God may be speaking to you in hard times?
  5. Our greatest call as Jesus followers is love. What does love require of you right now in your everyday life?
  6. Lakeside Gatherings are a beautiful way to connect with other people, especially those who may be going through similar things. Is there a topic you wish you could explore with others? Maybe that’s the challenge of raising kids with special needs, financial struggles, single parenthood, mental health, or your love of the Green Bay Packers. 
  7. Is there a Lakeside ministry you would like to look into more, such as Celebrate Recovery, Griefwalk, DivorceCare, or small groups?
