Icebreaker

What’s the earliest you’ve ever woken up to see a sunrise and was it worth it? Why or why not?

Scripture
Read together: Isaiah 9:2–7; Micah 5:2–4; Isaiah 60:19–20; Isaiah 49:6

Which of these Scriptures stood out to you most today, and why?
Where do you see the theme of light entering darkness in these passages?
What phrases or promises from these verses connect most clearly to Jesus?

Observation

In Isaiah 9, what kind of “darkness” do you think Israel was experiencing? How does that compare to the darkness people experience today?
Micah describes the Messiah coming from “little” Bethlehem. What does this show you about how God works? 
Isaiah 60 describes an everlasting light. How is this different from the temporary lights we depend on in daily life?
Isaiah 49:6 calls the Messiah a “light to the nations.” What does that reveal about God’s heart? How can we be participating with Him?

Application

Light Promised:
Where in your life are you waiting for God’s light to break through?
Light in Unexpected Places:
Have you seen God work through an unexpected person, moment, or “small place”? How did that shape your faith?
Light That Never Fades:
When your circumstances “grow dim,” what helps you remember God’s presence doesn’t fade?
Light for Every Person & Place:
Who in your life right now especially needs the warmth of Christ’s light through you?
Waiting & Participating:
The sermon described two kinds of waiting — passive and active.
Where do you sense God inviting you to participate in His work rather than simply wait?

Prayer
Close your time by praying through these prompts:

Thank God for shining His light into your darkest places.
Ask Him to make you attentive to His work in small or unexpected moments this week.
Pray for strength to trust His everlasting light when your circumstances feel dim.
Ask the Spirit to show you someone who needs God’s warmth — and the courage to act.
