Discussion Questions: November 29

Opening

What is your favourite Christmas tradition?

Summary

Read Hebrews 1:1-4

Throughout history God has been revealing himself in a multitude of diverse expressions. At different times and in different places, through his prophets, God has given us portions of himself. But at the coming of Christ Jesus, God has done something different and has shown himself in a whole new way. In Christ, the perfect prophet, God has fully revealed himself so that we can know him and be known by him. In Jesus we discover God’s word to us, God’s work in our world and God’s glory in all of creation.
