This is a reflective Bible study on the themes of Epiphany; the Magi and the Star of Bethlehem. It was written for my mum's small group, and we're never in shape for anything too difficult on a Wednesday morning, so the discussion questions aren't too complex. Part of the reflection...

This song was written by Sam as a reflection on the themes of Lent, but it can work at any other time of the year.  It focuses on meeting God in the hard places, allowing him to grow us through difficult times and trusting in him for a 'resurrection dawn'. ...
