Discovery-Understanding-Application (DUA) Questions 

You may discuss these questions with your small group or you may reflect on these questions and try to answer them during the week.

Note: You only need to read the Scripture text above – you don’t have to watching message above.

Take-Home Principle: 

“As a child of God, I will be discerning and submissive to His leading amidst any crisis or circumstance in my life.”

A. Discovery Questions

  1. What did the angel warn and instruct Joseph to do? Why? (v. 13)
  2. How did Joseph respond to the angel’s command?  (v. 14)
  3. In what circumstance was Joseph together with his family able to return to the Land of Israel?  (v. 19)
  4. How did Joseph and his family (with Mary and Jesus) end up in Nazareth instead of in Bethlehem in Judah? (v. (22). What new crisis confronted them that could put them in a new danger? (v. 22). Where did they finally settle to live? (v. 23). 

B. Understanding Questions 

  1. How do you see God’s plan of salvation being fulfilled in this passage?

  2.
