For Kids: God put a lot of detail in the Christmas story from three different points of view. Can you identify those three points of view? Why is the third one so important?  

For Discussion:

• Why is the virgin birth crucial for our understanding of Jesus as our Savior?  
• Have you ever heard ideas about Mary that seem to lift her up higher than a normal person? Why are these ideas neither biblical nor helpful?  
• How should we view Mary? What can we learn from her example?  
• What about Joseph’s circumstances could have been particularly stressful for him? What can we learn from his example?  
• What point of view kept Mary from being prideful and Joseph from being bitter or fearful? How does that same point of view affect us today?  
• How does the first Christmas affect the whole world? How does it affect you?  

Questions are welcome! Post them in the Sermon Discussion group of our WhatsApp chat community.
