Discuss and Apply

1) How has your family of origin shaped your view of God?

2) Review Matthew 1:1-6. Who are the four women listed in the genealogy of Christ? Discuss what you know about each of them. What things do they have in common?

3) Why would Matthew include these women in Christ’s genealogy? How would they feel about their inclusion?

4) What does Matthew 1 teach you about God? About your place in Jesus’ family?

5) How does the genealogy in Matthew 1 affect the way you think about other people?
