Merry Christmas! We're so thankful you joined us for our Christmas Arise Gathering. We pray this message is encouraging to you and your groups! Discussion Questions 1.How do you personally view celebration in your walk with God? Are there times when you find it hard to celebrate due to circumstances or personal feelings? 2.Have you ever had an assumption about God (ex.being disappointed in you, being distant) that has made it difficult to celebrate in relationship with Him? 3. Why do you think God commands us to celebrate—what is the deeper purpose behind it? The Bible often links celebration to remembering God's faithfulness and the good news of the gospel. How do celebrations help you remember God's goodness and what He has done for you? 4.How does celebrating even in difficult seasons show faith in God's ultimate victory? Can you think of a moment when choosing to celebrate, despite hardship, brought you closer to God or helped you see His provision? 5.Are there ways you can cultivate a childlike faith that leans into celebration and joy? 6.How does living a life of celebration impact those around us, especially those who don't know Christ?

What role does thanksgiving play in finding peace, according to Philippians 4? How can this practice shift our perspective? 4. How does seeking "the Kingdom of God above all else" change our priorities and concerns? 5. Why do we often struggle to cast our anxieties on Jesus instead of on others? What happens when we try to carry them alone? 6. How do we struggle with the simplicity of Jesus' invitation to trust Him? What are we tempted to add to this simple act of faith? 7. How did Jesus prioritize God's will over the expectations of others? How can we follow His example in our own lives?
