Son of God

Speaker: Greg Holder

Service Date: January 07, 2024

Son of God

Read:

  • Colossians 1:15-17
  • Mark 10:45
  • Luke 2:41-52
  • Philippians 2:7

Reflect:

  1. Do you have any questions about this Jesus of Nazareth? If so, what are they?
  2. What does the good news of Jesus being God with us teach us about the character of God?
  3. What would you tell someone who asked about the reliability of the Bible?
  4. Read Mark 10:45. How does Jesus coming for many, including yourself, inform your view on communion?
  5. What stood out to you in this story of Jesus at the temple as a young boy?
  6. Reflecting on the characteristics of Jesus, what kind of person would you like to be this year?

Do:

  1. Spend some time in one of the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) this week, and then talk about it with someone.
  2. Check out The Crossing calendar to figure out the right next step on your spiritual journey.

We look at this Son and see the God who cannot be seen. We look at this Son and see God’s original purpose in everything created. For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels—everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. He was there before any of it came into existence and holds it all together right up to this moment.
Colossians 1:15-17
