First Sunday in Advent

The Hopes and Fears of all the Years

Richard White, Pastor

Genesis 3:1-15 – The Need for Christmas

  1. What are some hopes shaping your life right now?
  2. What are some of your greatest fears in life?
  3. In the Garden of Eden after the fall into sin, hope and fear really took shape as a forceful dynamic in life.  Tied to this was sin and its effect. In what ways do you wrestle with Satan’s lie that God is not good and loving?  How does this reveal itself in your hopes and fears?  
  4. What causes you to doubt God’s goodness and love?
  5. What do you make of it that the theme of God’s love and goodness runs throughout the bible? (Here are some of the scriptures quoted in the sermon:  Gen 32:10; Gen 50:20; Ex 34:6; Deut 7:8; 1 Chron 16:34; 2 Chron 5:13; 2 Chron 7:3; 2 Chron 20:21; Jer 33:11; Ezra 3:11; Psalm 107; Matt 7:11; Phil 1:6; Rom 8:28,29).
  6. In Gen 3 what was the effect of sin, what brokenness did it introduce into our relationships in life?  What of God’s goodness and love do you see in Genesis 3? How does Jesus fulfill what is pictured and promised?
  7. How is trusting God’s goodness and love tied to enflaming our hope and assuaging our fears?
  8. What do you think the line means from O Little Town of Bethlehem: “the hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight?”
