MATTHEW 1:21 [/vc_column_text][divider line_type="Full Width Line" line_thickness="1" divider_color="default"][vc_video link="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFcJu_Pz5B0" align="center"][vc_column_text]1. What’s the name of the first book in the Bible? How does the Gospel of Matthew begin? By beginning the story of Jesus’s birth with a genealogy (which is from the same Greek word as genesis), what do you think Matthew is trying to say about the birth of Jesus? Takeaway: The birth of Jesus gives a new beginning to the world God created. 2.Who were some of the people named in Jesus’s family tree (or “genealogy”)? Did those people always follow God perfectly? If they were sinners, and Jesus came from their family, how could he be born without sin? Takeaway: Jesus is fully human—but without sin. 3. What was Joseph told to name Jesus? Why? How can we be saved from our sin? Takeaway: Jesus was born to save his people from their sin.

Why do you think we do that? After God’s people returned from exile, did they fully obey God? Takeaway: Even after the judgment of exile, God’s people did not obey God’s word. 2. Since God’s people continued to disobey God, what did Malachi say would happen? What would happen if they turned back to God? Takeaway: Malachi warned that the day of the Lord will mean judgment for those who don’t return to God—and salvation for those who do. 3. What were some things we’ve seen in the Biggest Story so far that pointed to Jesus as the coming Savior? Takeaway: The whole Old Testament gives us pictures to point us to Jesus, the promised Savior.

ZECHARIAH 3:4 [/vc_column_text][divider line_type="Full Width Line" line_thickness="1" divider_color="default"][vc_video link="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98a7bul_Sg4" align="center"][vc_column_text]1.When God told his people to be holy like him, how were they supposed to treat other people? And who were they supposed to worship? Why can’t God be around unholy people? Takeaway: Because God is holy, only holy people can be in his presence. 2. Why couldn’t God’s people go into the temple and meet with God? What did the priests have to do to be allowed to be in God’s presence? What did Joshua fail to do? What did God do for Joshua? Takeaway: To be in God’s presence we must be cleaned from our sin. 3. Who did the angel of the Lord say was coming to remove the sin from Israel in a single day? Who is the Branch? Since we have all sinned and become unholy or dirty, how can we become clean? How does the story in Zechariah end, and why is that the perfect response? Takeaway: Let’s celebrate that Jesus, the promised high priest and Branch from David’s family tree, has removed our sin.
