Taking the Sermon Into Our Week 

Scripture of the Week: Luke 2: 21-40

From the Sermon:

Simeon was getting on in years, but the _____________ had revealed to him that he would meet the Messiah, the one that would save him, save his people, save Israel, before he died.

Mary and Jospeh’s son, who no one else seemed to notice was deeply ____________________ by this man. 

The moment Anna saw the child, she also knew that Salvation had come and she started to ________________________.

It wasn’t Anna or Simeon’s ____________________ that allowed them to see the Christ child - it was the Holy Spirit

Reflection Questions:

Are we so emboldened and led by the Holy Spirit that we can not help but proclaim this as well?

Are we willing to open ourselves to the work of the Spirit?

Prayer:

Lord, we want to be people alive to the movement of the Holy Spirit in and through us. We want to be people who trust you and your hope, with the fierceness of Anna and Simeon. May we follow after you with abandon, Precious Lord, we pray. Amen.
