Questions for Reflection:

1. What is one of your best Christmas memories? (gift, time, people, season of life)

2. If you were to sum up this Christmas season in a couple of words, which would you use? If you’ve felt burdened this Christmas, why do you think that is, and where does it come from?

3. Despite what the Apostle John says, do you sometimes feel that God’s commands are burdensome, and why do you think that is? Why do you think John tells us that they’re not?

4. Which of the false kings (People, Pleasure, & Possessions) do you tend to give the crown to in your life? Why do you think this is, and how do you think you can begin to choose to crown Jesus as King over this?

5. What does your walk with Christ look like when you become overwhelmed by the world? What would it look like, in your own life, to overcome the world? What steps do you believe God would like you to take, and who will you ask to come alongside you? Pray for one another.
