1.
Pharaoh instructed the midwives to kill all
infant males at birth. They did not obey
Pharaohs commands. Scripture tells us to
obey governments (Romans 13:1-7). When,
if ever, is it appropriate for us to go against the instructions of government?
2.
God spoke
directly to Moses through the burning bush.
A. Do you believe God finds ways to speak to
us/you today? If so, how does He do so?
B. Have you ever sensed God directing you to do
something? How did you respond? How did it make you feel?
3.
God equipped Moses to do a specific task for
him. Yet Moses did not feel adequate to
the task. When have you felt inadequate
to do a task God had asked you to do?
How did you respond?
4.
The Hebrew people were instructed to put the
blood of the lamb on the doorposts of their homes to symbolize they were under
the protection of the Lord. How does
this remind you of your own salvation?
5.
God is clearly in control. The Hebrew people still had doubts, concerns
and acted as if they didn’t believe God was in control. How have we seen that God was leading us, yet
we still acted with doubt and balked at His leading?
6.
Our culture teaches that people should be free
to do what he/she wants. God teaches
that we are free to do what we ought.
What is the difference? How do
I/We as Christians live out our freedom?
7.
While en-route to Mt. Sinai, the Hebrew people
were attacked by the Amalekites. During
the battle Joshua was fighting the battle, Moses was on the hillside, Aaron and
Hur were with Moses.
A. When
do you feel like Joshua and are in the battle.
B. When you are fighting the battles, do you have
a “Moses” praying for you?
C. Who do you serve as a “Moses” for?
8. The
laws given to the Hebrew people are said to reflect the character of God. With that in mind, what does that mean to us who have
received the law?
9. We
are told we are to be people of Grace when it comes to those who offend
us. What can we learn from the laws
given by God about grace and consequences for one’s actions?
10. God
spoke to Moses in the Tent of meeting.
Where/how does God speak to us today?
11. When
leading the Hebrew people through the dessert, God resided in the Most Holy
place of the Tabernacle. Where does God
reside today?
12. We
read that Bezalel and Oholiab were equipped and prepared for service to
God. As Christ followers, how are we
equipped and prepped for service to God?
13. In
the creation of the Tabernacle and the garments to be worn by the Priests, God
instructed the use of only the finest materials…Gold, Silver, precious stones, Acacia
Wood, the finest linens threads and yarns.
Why do you think God commanded this?
14. Aaron,
his sons and the priests that followed them were instructed to “Minister to
God”. As Christians we are called to be
a Priesthood of Believers. How do WE
minister to God?
15. The
Hebrew people showed a tremendous lack of faith and distrust in God by having
Aaron create the Golden Calf. In what
ways do we create Golden Calves of our own that distract us from the
relationship with God He has called us to?
16. God
says that those who are guilty will not go unpunished. How do we reconcile that statement in today’s
world of ‘Grace”?
17. The
Hebrew people saw the Glory of God in many ways. In what way(s) have YOU seen the glory of
God?
