In this episode of Words & Ways we'll be looking at the story of Moses and the first passover in the book of Exodus.
Listen for yourself, with small groups, leadership teams, mentoring-discipling relationships and more.
Our hope is that the words and ways of Jesus transform your mind, fill your heart, and encourage your soul today and every day.
SHOW NOTES
Main Passage: Selections from Exodus 12
DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
Why do you think some people ignore, disbelieve, and disobey God (like Pharaoh did) even in the face of clear evidence of God’s power and presence?
In the Bible, God’s people are often encouraged to remember how God rescued them from slavery. Why do you think it’s important to remember what God has done for us? How do you remember the ways God rescued you from slavery to sin?
Jesus is often called the lamb of God. How does this story help you understand this title?
The Israelites celebrated Passover regularly to remember how God rescued them. What religious-church celebrations do you observe? How do they shape your life of faith?
The story of the Exodus (God rescuing his people from slavery) is often mentioned in the Bible and is central to the entire Biblical story. Why do you think it matters so much?
