Ep 37 // Untangled Advent // Act One // The Beginning (John 1:1-18)

This is the first of five episodes designed to take you through the season of advent in deep study, reflection, and expectant faith!  

(This study was originally titled "O Weary World Rejoice" so you will hear me refer to that in the episodes. It has been re-branded as Untangled Advent. Grab your companion study devotional -> untangledadvent.com)

Grab the paired Spotify worship playlist as well to augment the atmosphere in your home!

Join Megan as she explores: 

• The concept of the “beautiful exchange” - you have the opportunity to exchange weighty weariness for supernatural peace and joy.
• The origin of Jesus’ presence on the earth
• The origin of grace and the reason it was created
• John Chapter 1 - In the beginning, the word was God and was with God. What does this mean? 
• The idea that Jesus was/is the “living expression” of love and grace
• The meaning of “Logos” and the idea that God speaks and brings His creation and purposes to the world.
• The reality that you have the opportunity to hear and know God’s voice!
• The power of the Light of Jesus to bring health, healing, joy, and peace not only for you, but also for the people you love. 

Personal Reflection Questions:

• What is your understanding of the word/concept “Logos”?
• What is your belief about Jesus? Is he fully God and fully man? Or something else?
• What is your response to God’s voice?
• Where are the dark places of your life right now? How can you believe in the overcoming Light of Jesus for yourself?
• How are you having trouble believing the Light of Jesus will come into the life of someone you love?
• Which of the six different characteristics of Jesus most resonates with you?

Megan is excited to walk this journey with you! Join her to have conversations on reframing life, love, and calling to live the life God has so purposefully created for you.

Quotable Quotes:

“The ‘voice’ is coming into the world so you can hear it!”

“As you begin to understand what God’s voice sounds like, and you listen for His frequency and cadence - you will begin to hear God say, ‘Hey, it’s me.’”

“When someone speaks to you, you have an opportunity to respond - or not. What is your response to God’s voice?”
