Sunday

Reflect on the weekly readings with the following questions:

  1. In Matthew 1, Jesus' genealogy connects Him to David and Abraham. How does understanding Jesus' lineage help you reflect on your own identity and purpose in God’s plan?

  2. Joseph obeys God’s commands through dreams (Matthew 1:18-25). How do you respond when God asks you to trust and obey in difficult or unexpected situations

  3. John the Baptist and Jesus both preach about the Kingdom of Heaven and repentance (Matthew 3:2, 4:17). What does repentance look like in your daily life, and how does it prepare you to live in alignment with God’s Kingdom?

  4. Jesus calls His followers to be "the salt of the earth" and "the light of the world" (Matthew 5:13-16). How are you reflecting God’s love and truth in your community? In what ways can you better shine His light?

  5. The Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-12) describe the attitudes and character of those who belong to God’s Kingdom. Which Beatitude resonates most with you right now, and how can you apply it to your life?
