* Gold was for a king. * Frankincense was for a priest. * Myrrh was for someone who was dead.

NO RETURNS 4. Giving gifts means
Don’t Miss an Opportunity! GO QuestionFor the GO groups I have the following ideas for starters,
- Share what your favorite scene was in the journey through time.
- If you have a lot of actors in your group, challenge them to act out their role in fluent Boso Jowo if they can ;o)
- Be inspired by pastor Jeff’s creative way of story-telling and try whether you can do the same thing: Tell a part of the Christmas story while at the same time you must use three or four objects that your fellow GO-groupers have given you. You may help each other of course!
Further discussion:
- Think about it: What do you like better: giving or receiving? How come?
- Do you know somebody that has been an inspiring example of a giver for you?
- Receiving sounds the easier thing to do, yet some people can’t do it or have difficulty receiving things. How come?
- What can we do to become better givers and receivers?
- Search as a group in your bibles until every member has found at least one passage about giving and one passage about receiving.
- Any new viewpoints or links with the previous discussion?
- Try to formulate a conclusion that sums it all up.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ALL NON-BELIEVERS THAT HAVE GONE THROUGH THE JOURNEY OF TIME ! !
That’s all I can think of for now. The discussion questions are few, but together with one or two starters it might be enough for a good time of fellowship.
God bless you!
Greetings, Jos.
