Sabbath, Study, Serve 

Taking the Sermon Into Our Week 

Scripture of the Week: Luke 2: 21-38

From the Sermon:

The celebration doesn’t end after ____________________.

Mary is now allowed to handle ________ things, yet in her arms she holds the most _________ person in history.

Simeon isn’t described in scripture as a __________________, yet that is how he acted that day as he approached the couple.

Simeon declared that this child would be the ______________ of Israel.

We don’t know if Anna overheard Simeon’s blessing, or if her heart too was tugged on by the Holy Spirit, but either way she began to _______ God for Jesus.

Reflection Questions:

How would you feel if you heard Simeon’s words to Mary and Joseph?

What do you think it means to run to God?

How can we be Simeons and Annas to others?

Prayer:

Lord, raise up Simeons and Annas in our lives. People who speak words of truth and blessing, even if we do not understand them at the time. And send us out to be Simeons and Annas for others, we pray. Amen.
