On Sunday, December 17, 2023, at Wildwood Community Church, I preached a sermon based on Matthew 2:1-16.  This message was part 4 in the “Light of the World” sermon series.  Below you will find questions related to the message for personal reflection or group discussion.  You will also find audio and video of the message to listen to/watch, download or share.

Sermon Questions:

1. Pray
2. Read Matthew 2:1-16
3. Who are the biggest influencers in your life right now?  Who are you “following”?
4. In Matthew 2:1-16 we saw two kings … Herod and Jesus.  Before today’s study, what did you know about the earthly leader Herod?  What did you remember/know about him?  What about Jesus?  Before today’s message, what did you know about Him?  How has your understanding of these two kings changed after our study today?
5. In today’s message, we saw 4 contrasts between Jesus and Herod that led to 4 applicational questions.  How do you answer these questions below:
   1. Are you working to build YOUR kingdom or Jesus’ kingdom?
   2. Are you trying to alter God’s directives to fit your desires, or are you obeying Him?
   3. Are you living to make a name for yourself, or are you living for His glory?
   4. Are you relying on your own efforts for salvation, or are you trusting in His death for your salvation?
6. What is one particular application you took away from this passage/message?
