Sunday Discussion
This is designed to be an extension of our Sunday worship service. Take a few minutes to have this conversation with those who watched the worship service with you. If you watched alone, give another friend who watched alone a call and have the conversation over the phone.
- Share something that was said or sung in the worship service that resonated with you.
- Take a moment to pray with and for the person with whom you just shared.
Daily Discussion
These are intended for conversation around the dinner table, in the car, or before bed at night (ideal for ages 7 and up). Start each conversation by reading the passage listed.
Monday: Read Exodus 19:14-19. What do you think the voice of God sound like? Did everyone hear it? How do you think you would have responded?
Tuesday: Read Exodus 20:18-20. Did the people fear God? Did their fear of God keep them from sinning? What do you make of that?
Wednesday: Reach Exodus 24:10-11. How is this different from the Israelites response to God in Exodus 20? Explain the elders response to God here.
Thursday: Read Exodus 33:18-20. How do you respond to this passage?
Friday: Read Exodus 33:21-34:8. Notice Moses’s response in verse 8. What do you think motivated that response? Would you respond that way? Do you respond that way?
You can also use the above readings and questions as a personal, daily devotion and journaling prompt.
Weekly Discussion
Use these questions in discussion with spiritual friends. Spiritual friends are those who intentionally move into one another’s life to spur one another on in spiritual growth for the Glory of God.
1. How has God encouraged, challenged or corrected you recently?
2. What’s a way that you believe God has used you recently or wants to use you this week?
Inwardly-focused Spiritual Practice
Daily spiritual discipline – Spend some time this week meditating on Exodus 33:15-34:8. Notice Moses’s response to God in 34:8. Imagine you experienced God in the way that Moses did. How would you respond? Write down a prayer to God that illustrates how you think you would respond to experiencing a greater view of His glory.
Outwardly-focused Spiritual Practice
Seek to love those God places in your path. Be intentional to share Jesus’s love with them through word and deed.
