Matthew 1-2

First listen to the sermon (posts Sun. afternoon). Then use the ideas below to help you and your group apply what the Lord is teaching you.

What is one thing you really look forward to each Christmas season?

• What was one thing from this week’s message that impacted/challenged me?

• Treasuring God: How do these fulfillments impact my view of God?

• Being Transformed: In what ways do I need the Lord to change how I anticipate His coming?

• Loving Others: How can God’s faithfulness, seen in these passages, reflect onto how I care for and serve others this Christmas season?

• Pursuing Unity: What are some practical ways we can encourage one another as we prepare for Christmas this year?

Thank God for his beauty and faithfulness that we see throughout these fulfillments of prophecy. Pray that His faithfulness would be highlighted through how we celebrate His coming this year. Ask Him to allow us to be individuals, families, groups, a Church who worship Him with a right heart and perspective this Christmas season as we reflect on His faithfulness together!
