Harvest Growth Guide for December 14-19
Mike Moses
Matthew 1:18-25
*(Please note - this will be the last Growth Guide until early 2026. We hope you have a wonderful Christmas!)
1. What’s the most unexpected news you’ve ever received around Christmastime?
2. Read Matthew 1:18-19
How does Joseph serve as a good example throughout this story?
(Consider also Matt. 1:24-25; 2:13-14)
3. Read Matthew 1:20-22
How is the name “Jesus” ('Yahweh saves') fitting for who He is and what He came to do?
Name the blessings you have received and will receive from Jesus as Savior. (Consider Romans 5:1-2, Titus 3:4-7, Ephesians 1:3-14)
4. Read Matthew 1:23-25
How is the name “Immanuel” ('God with us’) fitting for who He is and what He came to do?
Name the blessings you have received and will receive from Jesus as Immanuel.
(Consider Matthew 28:20; John 14:16-17; Revelation 21:3)
5. Digging Deeper into Doctrine (time permitting)
How do these Scriptures further inform our understanding of Jesus’ sinlessness?
Hebrews 4:15, 2nd Corinthians 5:21, John 8:46, 1st Peter 2:22, Isaiah 53:9
Pray for one another: That we would enjoy the blessings of Jesus our Savior, Immanuel.
Weekly Scripture Memory:
"[And] I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man.
He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God."”
(Revelation 21:3)
