Sacrifice

2. Giving Gifts means your BEST

    * 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 Question

For 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.
