Sermon Outline: 
 
“You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.” 
 
“It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone” 
 
“It is written, you shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve” 
 
“It is said, you shall not put the Lord your God to the test” 
 
Reflection Questions 
• What can we learn from Jesus’ perfect example of resisting temptation against the devil? See Hebrews 4:15-16. As a child of God, will you ask the Spirit to lead you against these similar temptations – desire of the flesh, desire of the eyes and pride of life? Share practical solutions to resist temptations. Are there verses in the Bible that can help you cling onto the word of God? 
• The devil tested Jesus by tempting Him to question the sufficiency of God’s word. Do you believe in the sufficiency of God’s word and lived it out? When are you tempted to doubt the sufficiency of God’s word and what are some examples of well-meaning advice given which are not in line with what Scripture instructs?

Sermon Outline: 
 
At Jesus’ baptism, the Son of God identifies with sinful humanity 
 
Through Jesus’ genealogy, the Son of God is the 2nd and better Adam 
 
Reflections Questions 
• Where the Adam failed, Jesus will succeed. How can the coming of Jesus, the Son of God, encourage us to live now as God’s new community/ humanity? What role does the Holy Spirit play? 
• How might this study help you to share the true identity of Jesus to someone who does not know Him?

Sermon Outline: 
 
Whose Kingdom elevates the humble 
 
Whose Kingdom includes everyone 
 
Whose Kingdom is one that takes priority over the natural order of things 
 
Reflection Questions 
• The infancy narrative of Jesus reveals to us a glorious King who was born in a humble manger, and a God who used heavenly angels as well as lowly shepherds to proclaim the good news. How does knowing this encourage you to likewise be a herald of King Jesus? 
• Those who testified about Jesus Christ make clear that He comes as the promised King. In other words, believing in His good news means bowing to a king. How can your life be increasingly marked by submissive obedience, and a desire to see His kingdom flourish?

6 Mar 2022 | Luke 2:1-52 | What Child is This? | Ps Daniel Tan

Sermon Oultine: 
 
It is fulfilment of Old Testament promises 
 
 
It is about King Jesus and His herald 
 
 
It invites a response from the recipients 
 
 
Reflection Questions 
 
1. The birth of John and Jesus are the fulfilment of God’s promises – namely, the coming of the Messiah and His eternal kingdom. If Jesus has come to accomplish God’s great kingdom project in the world, what does it mean for our personal life project(s) today? 
 
2. The parallelism between a disbelieving Zechariah (v20) and a submissive Mary (v38) reveals an “upside-down” character to God’s modus operandi – He chooses the insignificant to be significant in His kingdom purposes. What does that mean for the way (1) you see your contribution to kingdom service, and (2) who you might consider reaching out to, to “move them to the right?”
