  6. Read Luke 1:20-21. What did the angel tell Joseph? How is God showing His love to Joseph?

  9. How can you redeem others in your life?
  10. Three ways to set others free:
    1. Pray for the redemption of others: Make a list of people who don’t know Jesus. Pray that God will redeem them!
    2. Forgive others as God has forgiven us: Do you have a grudge against someone? Or bitterness? Seek to forgive others as God has forgiven you (Eph. 4:31).
    3. Share the good news of Jesus: Who needs to hear the gospel from you? Who will you talk to this week?
