When Life Doesn't Follow Your Formula

If you could be in any Christmas movie, which one would you choose and why? Would you be a certain character or would you play yourself?

What stood out to you most from the message?

Think about some current dreams and wishes you have. How do they excite you?

When was the last time you felt your life went off-script? How did you respond?

When you hear the word hope, what is the first thing that comes to mind?

Where have you struggled to be hopeful? Why can it be difficult to believe in a happy ending?

Read Isaiah 9:6.

Which name of Jesus could you use more of in your life right now?

What’s one step you can take this week to move towards hope and the happily ever after Jesus offers for us?

Let’s end our time praying together. You can say something like;

“Jesus, thank you for being hope and giving us hope. Give us courage to believe you are who you say you are and the strength to get through tough times. Amen.”
