Is our reputation worth more to us than obeying God?
Questions for further discussion:
1. Do you think people looked down on Mary and Joseph because of what God was asking them to do?
2. How important to you is your reputation?
3. Am I consciously or unconsciously creating the impression that I am better than I really am?
4. Do you have a story about a time when you obeyed God and it was misunderstood by those around you?
This week's passage: Matthew 1:18-19
