Home Church Questions
• Read Exodus 1:1-22.
• Was there anything new or insightful in this message?
• Was there anything you know you can or should immediately apply?
• What did you struggle with in this message? What did not make sense or caused you to evaluate your own life more deeply?
• How would your life personally, or the life of your family be different if you fully live out the truths in this message?
• What are some of the "gods of this age"? What do we look to in order to protect us or what things control us and dictate our priorities and behaviors?
• Read Psalm 136:10-22. Why is the exodus such a great model for a correct theological understanding of
redemption?
• The Law was never given to save anyone. The law reveals the character of God, provides evidence of our inability to live up to God's standard, and provides a method for maintaining fellowship with God. Does this make sense? How can we use the law to accomplish it's intended purpose?
