4. Read Luke 1:26–38 and Matthew 1:18–25. In what way is “fear” addressed in these two passages? What do you learn about the character of Mary and Joseph? Finally, what seems to be the purpose of the baby to be born?

5. If you haven’t picked up your copy of Kevin DeYoung’s The Biggest Story, then do so today. It’s a great Christmas read for you, your friends and your family. Don’t forget to grab the companion reading guide put together by the New Hope Church staff. It’s a great resource for the Advent season.
