12/1: "God With Us" (Isaiah 7:10-17)

1.  God has promised to be with us and to help us in our time of need. Do you find yourself placing your trust in Christ in times of distress and want, or is it easier to trust in what we can see? Are there any idols in your life give you affirmation? What are they?




2.   According to this passage, what was Ahaz's primary weakness? What is the sign that God promises to show Ahaz? Taking Ahaz's character into consideration, why does God's promise give us hope?




3.  Why is the promise of "Immanuel" significant for the Israelites? For us?





4.  According to Ryan, what does this "miraculous rescue" say about our own human weakness?




5.  Are there times when you wish God would grant you a sign? How does Christ satisfy this longing?
