1. Why do you think the book of Matthew begins with the genealogy of Jesus Christ? What point is Matthew trying to make by outlining Jesus' lineage in Matthew 1:1-17?

2. The message of the "kingdom of God" was first preached by John the Baptist (Matthew 3:1-2) and then at the beginning of Jesus' ministry (Matthew 4:23). Jesus also sent out his disciples with the same proclamation (Matthew 10:1-7). What was the point of the Kingdom?

3. The New Testament church is comprised of both Jews and Gentiles. Jesus' commission in Matthew 28 involves all nations and not just the Jews. Why is this important?

4. In Matthew 13, Jesus gives several parables of the kingdom. What conclusions do you draw from these parables?
