fear not | week four

Scripture (ESV):
Luke 2:8-11
Teaching Notes:
- Fear is not from God.
- Shepherds felt unworthy.
- Shepherds felt inadequate.
- Shepherds felt unloved.
- You can’t earn a right relationship with God. But you can receive a right relationship with God.
Reflection Questions:
1. What fears are you facing in this season? How can you remove them? What will you replace your fears with?
2. In what areas of your life have you felt unworthy, inadequate, or unloved? How does the truth that Jesus came for people just like the shepherds give you hope and peace?
3. What would it look like for you to live every day with joy because of the good news of Christ? What impact would you make by living this way?
4. What steps can you take this week to fully receive and embrace God’s unconditional love for you? Are there areas of guilt, shame, or fear you need to surrender to Him?
5. Who in your life needs to hear the message that they are chosen, valued, and loved? How can you share this truth with them in a tangible way during the Christmas season?
