Bible Study - WAY MAKER: Walk this Way

Sermon-Based Bible Study – September 27, 2020
  1. What is something God has done for you that you are thankful for or are celebrating? How have you experienced God’s love and faithfulness this week?
  2. Where are you experiencing stress, anxiety or discouragement? How would you like to see God move in your life or in the life of someone close to you?
  3. What did you hear in this week’s sermon that was new or particularly interesting? Who would benefit or be interest in hearing about that from you?  Did anything stand out to you as puzzling or troubling?
  4. Read Exodus 13:17-22.  As the children of Israel left Egypt following the Passover, how did they know that God was with them and leading them? 
  5. Read Exodus 14. 
    • What do you think it means to say God hardened Pharaoh’s heart? 
    • How would you describe Pharaoh’s conviction about the power and purposes of God as it related to him?  In what way, if any, does Pharaoh’s view of God resonate with you? 
    • How would you describe the children of Israel’s conviction about the power and purposes of God as it related to them before they crossed the Red Sea?  
    • How would you describe the children of Israel’s conviction about the power and purposes of Goas as it related to them after they crossed the Red Sea?
    • In what way if any does the children of Israel’s view of God resonate with you?
  6. Read 2 Corinthians 1:8-9.  Have you had a “Red Sea” moment in your faith walk?  What did it look like for you to “move on” as God told the Israelites to do in Exodus 14:15?
  7. Read John 5:24 and Colossians 2:13-15.  What does it mean to say the story of the cross is the story of our crossing?
  8. What is a simple, next step you could take in obedience to what the Spirit is saying to you through this time in the Word?  Who would benefit, or be interested in hearing about what you’ve learned in this study?
