  • Some imagine that spiritual warfare is mystical, involving dreams and visions and the like. In reality, it is very practical. Consider the armor of God listed in Ephesians 6 and discuss the practical ways in which that armor is to be taken up, put on, and wielded day by day. 
  • What is prayer? Why is it imperative that we clothe ourselves with the armor of God and fight the spiritual battle in prayer? Why must prayer be persistent and faithful?
  • How do the words, “The LORD is my banner” of Exodus 17:15 find their fulfillment in Jesus (Joshua) the Christ? Why must we run to him and be found in him by faith? What is the victory that he has won?

  • What does it mean to walk by sight? What does it mean to walk by faith? Does walking by faith require us to ignore what we see with our natural eyes? 
  • How might a Christian learn to be driven, not by their passions and cravings, but by the Word of God and the Spirit of God? How might a Christian practice this way of life so as to become mature in it?

How might a Christian learn to find their satisfaction in God and in Christ? Is this something that can be learned, is it a gift that must be given, or is it both?

  • Discuss the fact that humans are able to sing. In what way is singing an even more fitting instrument of praise than speaking?
  • Beginning with Exodus 15, what are the songs of praise recorded in scripture about? What should our songs be about?
  • In the days of Moses the LORD accomplished Israel’s redemption, he judged the Egyptians, and he led Israel to indwell them. Compare and contrast this with what was accomplished by Christ. Do we have more or less of a reason to praise? Discuss.

  • Read 1 Corinthians 10:1–13. What does this passage from Paul teach us regarding the proper interpretation of Exodus?
  • If the story of Israel in Egypt corresponds to our bondage to the Evil One, if the story of the deliverance of the Hebrews corresponds to our salvation in Christ, and if Israel’s entry into Cannan corresponds to our entry into the new heavens and earth, what aspect of the Christian life does the experience of Israel’s wilderness wanderings correspond to?
  • Discuss the ways in which the LORD has led you personally, compassionately, faithfully, clearly, and defensively.

  • What are positive laws? “Positive law” was defined in a previous sermon and referenced in this one. What are they? Why are we to consider the laws about Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the consecration of firstborn males as positive laws? Hint: by positive law, we mean laws that are added. Positive laws are contrasted with moral laws. 
  • What was Old Covenant Israel supposed to get out of these rituals concerning their past, present, and future?
  • What might we learn from these laws concerning the Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the consecration of firstborn males?
  • We are not obliged to obey these laws. One, why? Two, what positive law (festival) are we obliged to keep? What does our festival teach us regarding the past, present, and future?

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION AT HOME OR IN GOSPEL COMMUNITY GROUPS

Sermon manuscript available at emmausrbc.org

  • Why is it important that we see the tenth plague as an act of divine judgment and not as an act of human vengeance? What is the difference between vengeance and justice? Why will human justice always be limited? Why will divine justice be perfect and complete? When will divine justice be perfect and complete?
  • When Pharaoh asks to be blessed by Moses, when we learn that Israel left Egypt “a mixed multitude”, and when we learn that the Passover could be celebrated by foreigners, provided that they joined themselves to Israel by faith, what does that remind us of concerning Israel’s ultimate purpose as it pertains to the nations? 
  • What can we learn about Christ and the Christian life from the Passover?
