1. Hosea's marriage to Gomer illustrates the depth of human sin and God's redeeming love. How does this story challenge your view of sin and God's grace?

2. Gomer’s children received names that reflected Israel’s broken relationship with God but were later redeemed with new meaning. How does God’s renaming reflect His power to transform our identity and circumstances?

3. In Hosea 2:14, God breaks the expected cycle of judgment with an act of tender mercy, saying, “I will allure her…and speak tenderly to her.” How have you experienced God’s unexpected grace in a season where judgment seemed deserved? Can you recall a season of wilderness in your life where God’s redeeming love became evident?

4. The sermon emphasizes our role in responding to God’s promises of renewal. What steps can you take this week to respond more fully to God’s call, trusting in His love and redemption?

5. Verse 23 describes God calling those who were “not my people” into a relationship where they respond, “You are my God.” How can you live more fully in the identity of being God’s chosen and loved person, and how might that change how you approach others who feel far from Him?

1. John 1:1-3 declares that Jesus, as the Word, was with God and is God. How does this truth deepen your understanding of who Jesus is? How does it affect the way you approach Him in prayer and worship?

2. In John 1:5, we read that the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. In what ways do you see the "light" of Jesus shining in your personal life or in the world around you today? How can you respond when it feels like the darkness is overwhelming?

3. John 1:9 says the true light was coming into the world. How can you, as a follower of Christ, shine His light into the places of spiritual darkness or weariness around you this Advent season?

4. The message notes that some are hostile to the light because it exposes darkness in their lives. How can we lovingly help others confront their darkness and embrace the light of Christ? How can we handle our own resistance to His light?

5. To those who believe in Jesus, He gives the right to become children of God. How does being a child of God shape your identity and purpose? How can you live out this identity in a way that reflects God’s light to a weary world longing for hope?

6. John 1:14 speaks of seeing Jesus’ glory, full of grace and truth. Where have you witnessed God’s glory in your life recently? How can reflecting on His grace and truth transform the way you relate to others?

1. In what areas of your life—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—do you sense a longing for healing? How does the image of the "sun of righteousness" rising with healing in its rays give you hope during Advent?

2. Jesus modeled a ministry of both proclamation (word) and compassionate action (deed). How can you personally reflect this balance in your life or ministry?

3. Jesus looked at the crowds and saw their weariness and need. How can you cultivate a habit of seeing others with the same compassion and understanding? What practical steps can help you act on what you see?

4. Healing in the Bible often involves restoration—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Where do you see brokenness in the world around you, and how can you partner with God in bringing His restorative healing?

5. Jesus saw the crowds as harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Where do you see similar needs for guidance and care in your community? How might God be calling you to respond?

6. Jesus sent out His disciples to continue His work of healing and proclamation. What is one step you can take to participate in His mission this week?

1. We talked about our collective longing for peace. In what areas of your own life or in the world around you do you most deeply long for peace? How does this longing connect with the message of Advent?

2. The sermon discusses the dividing wall between Jews and Gentiles in the temple. What are some modern-day "dividing walls" that separate people (e.g., social, economic, racial, political)? How can the message of Ephesians 2:13-18 speak to these contemporary divisions?

3. The writer of Ephesians emphasizes that we are brought near to God through the blood of Christ. How does understanding the imagery of "far away" and "brought near" impact your understanding of salvation? How does the concept of being "without hope and without God" resonate with you?

4. The sermon connects reconciliation with God to reconciliation with one another. How does the idea that Christ died to reconcile people groups to each other challenge you to pursue peace and reconciliation in your own relationships and communities?

5. Russell emphasized the importance of living from a place of wonder at the gospel. How can you cultivate a greater sense of awe and wonder at the incarnation and the peace that Jesus brings?

6. The fruit of the cross is peace. What practical steps can you take this week to live out this call and be a peacemaker in your sphere of influence?
