Questions to Discuss or Ponder:
- Think about “that one family member.” What makes it difficult to relate to them?
- Look over Matthew’s “begats” in Matthew 1:1-17. What do you know about the people listed there? What stands out?
- Why is it that prayer tends to be our last response rather than our first?
- In what way(s) do you find yourself living life like Jacob did? What “name” would you call yourself by and why?
- Have you had an “encounter with Esau” type moment? What happened? How did it resolve?
- When is it most difficult to let God fight for you? How can you change your response in such a situation?
- If salvation is a gift, have you received it? If not, why not?
