Matthew 1:1-16
- What names in your family tree would you highlight to help people get to know you better?
- Have you ever witnessed someone being excluded from something because of who they were or what they did? What was that like?
- What are some things people might assume disqualify them from God’s love? What would you say to someone who says God couldn’t possibly love them?
- What things might people think qualify them to be in God’s family? What would you say to someone who says they don’t need Jesus because they’re good enough?
- The Bible doesn’t photoshop its characters. We get to see the broken, messed-up parts of their lives. Why do you think that is?
