Christmas: Zechariah’s Salvation!

  1. What does Zechariah look forward to most in Luke 1:67-69? What are you looking forward to most this Christmas?
  2. According to Psalm 104, how do we pray for our enemies?
  3. Was David justified to pray for God’s vengeance against his enemies here or is this an example of an honest, emotional outburst that is really out of bounds?
  4. How does understanding darkness and evil make the light brighter and salvation sweeter?
  5. Why is it important that most imprecatory Psalms/prayers end like Psalm 139 bringing us back around to what God wants, not what I want?
  6. How does Romans 12:9 work? To love this, you must hate that? To choose this, you must reject all that?
  7. Although we may pray like the psalmist against evil, are we ever allowed to take matters into our own hands?
  8. Why is it important to pray honestly and sincerely? If you are open to it, will God direct you to the right place if you are not there yet?
