DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

Matthew 2:12-23

Head

• What is the significance of the dreams Joseph had in v. 13 and v. 19?
• Joseph had plans, but he listened to God’s voice. What was the impact of him listening to God? How did Joseph’s actions in response to the dream demonstrate his faith and obedience to God?
• What are some examples in the text of prophecies being fulfilled because Joseph listened to God?

Heart

• In the sermon, we discussed 4 questions to answer in our desire to listen to God. How do you struggle and draw confidence from your thoughts on these questions:
  • Do I believe God interacts with people?
  • Is there space in my rhythm that I am still?
  • Am I aware enough to identify God’s voice when I’m not looking for it?
  • Am I willing to trust God’s leading more than my own?

Hands

• Choose one of the questions above that you want to focus on this week. Pray over this as a group, asking for God to lead and grow us to better hear and listen to his voice.
