A Matter of Life and Death (2025-11-09, David Camera, Exodus 34:6-7)

Listen Later

A sermon on God's disclosure of his name and attributes to Moses on Mt. Sinai, by Rev. David Camera.

Application questions:

  • Make a list of life and death issues, choices and situations as a group. 
  • Look back to Exodus 3:13-17. What do we learn about God’s name in this passage? 
  • The name “LORD” is literally “I am” in Hebrew. Explore together what God’s name “I am” teaches us about His nature. 
  • What does God reveal about His character (i.e. what He is like) in Ex. 34:6-7? 
  • Why do the Israelites (along with us!) need to know these things about God? 
  • The number 1000 in the Bible is a symbol for perfection. What is God saying therefore about His forgiveness and his justice? 
  • Look again at the second half of verse 7. Is God saying He punishes the innocent children of sinful parents? Why or why not? Discuss.  
  • Does it sometimes appear that evil goes unpunished? What is God assuring us of therefore in this verse? 
  • What are the Lord’s actions in the passage and what do those actions reveal about Him? 
  • What is the relationship between God’s eternal nature, His character and His actions? 
  • Why can we trust God according to these verses? 
  • Look up John 17:1-5. How do we know the Lord today?  
  • How is knowing God a matter of life and death?
