December 09, 2024 Exodus 7:8-11:10 - God and Pharaoh
Main idea: Through the plagues in Egypt, the LORD shows Himself as the true God, mighty Creator, Holy Judge, and gracious Savior
The LORD is the True God
The LORD is the Mighty Creator
The LORD is the Holy Judge
The LORD is the Gracious Savior
Discussion questions:
1. How does the story of Pharaoh challenge our understanding of religious pluralism in today’s culture?
2. Despite witnessing the plagues, Pharaoh's heart remains hardened. What does this teach us about human pride and resistance to God?
3. What are some modern “idols” (e.g., work, relationships, personal autonomy) that can lead to a similar “disintegration” of life if placed above God?
4. How does God’s Word act as both a guide and a safeguard against the natural progression of sin in our lives?

December 09, 2024 Exodus 5:1-7:7 - Pharaoh’s Reception
Big Idea: In the face of opposition, trust in God who faithfully stands with His dependent people.
1. Trust in God’s purpose: He tests faith through suffering (5:1-23)
2. Trust in God’s promise: He redeems His covenant people (6:1-9)
3. Trust in God’s timing: He works on His sovereign schedule (6:10-27)
4. Trust in God’s authority: He is mightier than man (7:1-7:7)
Discussion Questions
1. How do Moses and the Israelites respond differently to opposition in Exodus 5? Who do they go to with their concerns?
2. In Exodus 6, God reminds Moses of His covenant with Israel. How does reflecting on God’s past faithfulness help us trust His promises, especially when His timing doesn’t meet our expectations?
3. Throughout Exodus, God redeems His people not just from suffering but through suffering. How does this truth challenge our perspective on trials, and how can it reshape our trust in God’s purpose?
4. In Exodus 7:1-7, Moses is made “like God” to Pharaoh, yet remains dependent on God’s power. What does this teach us about living as ambassadors of God today while acknowledging our own dependence on Him?

December 09, 2024 Exodus 3:1-4:31 - Calling and Commission
Text: Exodus 3-4
Big Idea: God displays the fire of His glory amist the smoldering wick of His people.
1. Look at the God who is (3:1-10)
2. Look at the God who calls (3:11-4:17)
3. Look at the God who qualifies (4:18-4:31)
Discussion Questions:
1. Moses spent 40 years in the wilderness before being called by God at age 80. How can we trust that God is at work even when we feel like nothing is happening?
2. At the burning bush, God revealed Himself as “I AM,” emphasizing His self-existence and eternal nature. What does this reveal about who God is, and how should we respond?
3. Moses raised five objections to God’s call, questioning his worthiness and ability. How do we sometimes respond like Moses when God calls us to step out in faith?
4. The circumcision of Moses’ son emphasized the importance of obedience to God’s commands. How do faith and obedience work together in the life of a believer?

December 09, 2024 Exodus 2:11-25 - Failure and Rescue
Main idea: A deliverer is set apart as God remembers his people
Moses, the confused mediator
Moses, the lost sojourner
God, the faithful redeemer
Discussion questions:
1. Moses was raised as an Egyptian prince but was also born into the Hebrew people. How does his identity crisis affect his actions? In what ways do you see him struggling to reconcile these two parts of himself?
2. Reflect on the idea that Moses was not called to merely “reform” his people, but to lead them to freedom. How does this distinction relate to our mission as Christians? Are we called to reform the world, or to rescue people through the Gospel?
3. In what ways might the Israelites have felt abandoned by God during this time? How can we relate to times in our own lives when God feels distant or when we wonder if He’s forgotten us?
4. How does this long period of waiting shape our understanding of God's timing? In what ways can we cultivate patience and trust in God’s perfect timing when we are in seasons of waiting?

December 09, 2024 Exodus 1:1-2:10-Suffering and Redemption
Main idea: God’s promised redemption will come through suffering
1. Growth comes through Suffering (1:1-22)
2. Redemption comes through a baby (2:1-10)
Discussion Questions:
1. What does Genesis 15:5 have to do with Exodus 1? How does the growth of the Israelite population, despite their suffering, demonstrate the faithfulness of God's promises?
2. How does the text highlight the importance of moral courage in the face of political or societal pressure? What role does the fear of God play in their decision-making?
3. Discuss the irony in the story—how does God use the very river that Pharaoh intended for death to be a source of deliverance for Moses? What other instances of irony can you identify in the text?
4. Discuss how Moses’ story parallels the concept of redemption in the New Testament, particularly in light of the parallels drawn between Moses and Jesus. How do both figures represent deliverers for God’s people?

Discussion Questions
1. In what ways does the need for intelligible speech, as described in 1 Corinthians, apply to our current worship practices?
