Discussion Questions:
Old Testament

  • Chapter 34 of Genesis tells the story of how Dinah, the daughter of Leah and Jacob, was “defiled,” and how her brothers responded. Did the punishment fit the crime?
  • What is so special about the “coat of many colors?” How did the relationship
    between Joseph and his brothers progress?
  • New Testament

  • John, the “Baptist” sent two men to ask if Jesus was truly the Messiah. What are we to make of Jesus’ answer? Matthew 11-1-4
