Psalms 119:49-88. Verse 70 KJV, why is God displeased with a heart as fat as grease? What has this to do with the commercializing of Christmas? The warping of relationships?
Isaiah 53:1-12. How Jesus suffered in my place. Verse 5, what should I be confessing to God now, in preparing to celebrate the Savior’s birth this coming week?
I Thessalonians 1:1-10. Verse 5, how has my life been touched with gospel power this past year?
Luke 1:57-80. Verse 76, what shall I specifically do to prepare my heart for the King who is soon to come?
