Some of Hollywood’s memorable moments become New Day’s backdrop for the real substance of Christmas. (Message recorded 12-04-2011)

Questions for Reflection and Discussion

What are you most excited about at Christmas time? Why?

In your experience, which is more common: people thinking they are too righteous to need forgiveness, or people thinking they are too far gone to be forgiven?

Christ coming to Earth was a free gift to us, something we cannot earn. Why is it difficult to accept a free gift?

Have you accepted God’s gift of forgiveness?

If so, what led up to that decision? How has your life changed?

If not, what is keeping you from taking that step? What would it take to overcome that challenge?
