TALKING POINTS / WALKING POINTS

View the sermon summary or dig deeper into the message during the sermon, in your personal Bible study, or with your family or Community Group in application-driven discussion.

APPLICATION / CHALLENGE

• Like Mary, determine to be a person of great availability. Find a place to serve here at TCC. Learn more about serving.
• Trust God to be true to his Word. Let the Bible, not culture, shape your values and view of reality.
• Enlarge your view of God by meditating upon his Word. Start with Isaiah 40 (see “Digging Deeper”).
• Make God’s glory a higher goal than your own reputation.
• Want a copy of More Than a Carpenter, the book that Pastor Doug offered? Call our office (919-362-9996) to arrange a pick-up time.

TAKE ONE STEP

Each week, write down one doable concrete step of obedience, small or large, that you will put into practice this week. (James 1:22: “But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.”)
