Christmas Unboxed – Week 1

What is one thing your family does to get ready for Christmas?

Read Luke 1:26-38

What was Mary’s reaction when the angel came to her?

How would you feel if an angel suddenly came and told you God wanted you to do something big?

What do you think Mary had to do to get ready for the first Christmas?

Read Proverbs 3:5-6

Who are we supposed to trust?

Why do you think we shouldn’t we depend on “our own understanding”?

Talk about a time when you were in a tough situation like Mary – maybe a sickness, death, or the loss of a pet. Was it hard to trust God during that time? Why or why not?

Close in prayer by asking God to give us His peace when times are hard and to help us trust in Him no matter what.
