Please note that some Bible studies such as Women's Bible study will sometimes take a break, especially during the summer, so please check back regularly to see what's new.

1. How does Zechariah and Elizabeth's story demonstrate God's perfect timing, even when it feels delayed? Can you think of a time in your life when God's timing became clear only in hindsight?

2. Zechariah doubted the angel's message. How do we handle doubts about God's promises in our own lives? What can we learn from Zechariah's response and consequences?

3. The passage emphasizes that "God remembers His covenant." How does this truth bring comfort and encouragement in your personal walk with Christ?

4. Zechariah and Elizabeth lived righteously despite the corruption of their time. What does it look like to live righteously in today’s society? What practical steps can we take?

5. Zechariah was chosen to offer incense, symbolizing prayer, in the temple. How can prayer serve as a central focus in our daily lives and faith communities?

6. The Gospel of Luke often highlights marginalized individuals. What does this tell us about God’s heart, and how should it shape our attitudes toward others in need?

7. Advent is described as a season of awakening joy and fulfillment. How can we intentionally use this Advent season to focus on Christ amidst the busyness of life?

8. Luke writes to Theophilus so that he might have certainty about the Gospel. What doubts or questions about faith have you wrestled with, and how can Scripture provide certainty?
