Son of a Virgin
Part 2 of Promises Made, Promises Kept
BY Pastor Koh Wee Kiat
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
- Why is it illogical to simply dismiss the virgin birth of Jesus as a non-essential event? What does it mean for you if the virgin birth of Jesus is real?
- Sometimes we have to bear the consequences of other people’s sinful actions. In what ways have you personally experienced that? How does the Christmas story comfort you in your situation?

Son of Man
Part 3 of Promises Made, Promises Kept
BY Pastor Tan Li Kai
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
- The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many. In what tangible ways can you follow the example of the humility of Jesus Christ’s incarnation on earth, putting aside all His heavenly glory, and do likewise, putting aside your preferences to love people around you?
- The Son of Man came on Christmas day as a baby but will return on the Final Judgment as a glorious King. How are you living your life in response to the tender love of our Saviour and King knowing that your eternal citizenship is in the kingdom of heaven while you live your life out here on earth?
- The Son of Man was crucified because He claimed to be God – able to forgive sins and give eternal life. As a believer, once you have understood the seeming absurdity of the ease of receiving God’s grace of salvation, how has that helped you to demonstrate profound gratitude to Jesus through your life?
