Lesson 1 - God choose the ordinary people for extra-ordinary work

Luke 2:8 “And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over the flocks at night.”

Lesson 2 - They Accepted

Luke 2:10-15 “But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.

This message is for “all the people” but I want you to notice the word “you” as well. It’s for the whole world but it must also become deeply personal

Lesson 3 - They Acted

Luke 2:16 “So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.”

They went and saw. The first thing they did was bounce to Bethlehem. They left and shared.

Vs. 17 “When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child.”

Lesson 4 - They Worship

Luke 2:20 “The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.”

They don’t just wonder about what they saw, they worship Him who they saw

The Challenge

• Be attentive to what God has called you to do.
• Be awed by God’s message to you.
• Accept the gift of good news.
• Act on what you know to be true.
• Worship Him 24/7
