Luke 1:26-38

1. Why is it helpful to have a basic understanding of the Trinity in light of today’s passage?

- Can you recall the definition of the Trinity stated by Pastor Nate at the beginning of the sermon?

2. Why is the virginity of Mary essential to the birth of Christ?

3. We noticed that Gabriel comforted Mary by reminding her of Gospel truth. Can you recount a time when another follower of Christ comforted/strengthened/encouraged you by reminding you of Gospel truth amid distress?

4. Gabriel mentioned many marvelous truths about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, in verses 32, 33, and 35. Which one of those stood out to you the most and why?

5. Why does humanity reject the virgin birth of Christ and His resurrection from the grave?

            - Why is nothing impossible for God?

            - How have you seen the awesome power of God at work in your life recently?

6. What situation have you recently faced that caused you to question what God is doing and why He was doing what He was doing?

- Have you been able, by the grace and power of God, to gladly submit to God despite lacking comprehension of God’s work in that situation?  Why or why not?
