Mark 13:24-37
Isaiah 64:1-9
Psalm 80:1-7
Psalm 80:17-19
1 Corinthians 1:3-9

1. What does Advent mean for you? What makes you excited, and is there anything difficult about this season? 
   

    

2. Why do you think the church calendar starts the Advent season with such an apocalyptic text?  
   

    

3. We all go through dark times. What do you do at those times when darkness settles into your life - when you can’t see the way forward or any end in sight? What or who do you lean on? And what might you do differently next time? 
   

    

4. Advent is a time of waiting. Waiting for something to happen – for God to appear. But we aren’t always great at waiting. What is something in your life that has been (or is) hard to wait for? 

    

5. If Advent is a time of watching then what might God be asking you to look for? Especially in this unique Advent season of 2020. 
   

    

6. Advent reminds us that we are called to both wait and work at the same time. What “work” might God have for you during this season? Maybe grocery shop for a high-risk neighbor, call someone you haven’t seen for a while, write a letter, etc.
