Use this guide to keep the conversation going and reflect on how His light is at work in your life. Merry Christmas, friends!

START TALKING 

• You can only pick one: colored lights or white lights?  

KEEP TALKING

• How does knowing that the Christmas story began at creation—not just in Bethlehem—change the way you think about Christmas?
• How does the idea that darkness doesn’t get the final word speak into your life right now? 
• How has Jesus brought light into your life personally this year? 
• Read Psalm 119:105. Where do you need God’s Word to light your path as you prepare to step into a new year?
• What would it look like to shine God’s light into someone else’s darkness this season?

KEEP IT GOING

• If you want to participate in this year’s Impact Offering, it’s not too late. This is one practical way we can help shine God’s light on those who need it most.

PRAYER

Father, thank you for being the light we desperately need. We’re so grateful for all we find in you—joy, hope, peace, courage, and clarity. Help us to not only live in your light, but share that light with those around us. We love you. Amen.
