Discussion Questions: Exodus 6:1-8

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION AT HOME OR IN GOSPEL COMMUNITY GROUPS

Sermon manuscript available at emmausrbc.org

  • If we look at Exodus and ignore what happened before, what are some of the wrong conclusions that we might come to?
  • The Exodus displays God’s covenantal faithfulness. How so? What confort should this bring to us?
  •  The Exodus is not the main event in God’s plan of redemption. How do we know this? How is the Exodus related to the main event (Christ’s finished work)? How can the Exodus help us to understand and appreciate the work of redemption that Christ has accomplished?

Discussion Questions: Hebrews 11:1-2

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION AT HOME OR IN GOSPEL COMMUNITY GROUPS

  • Hebrews 11 is not so much about the doctrine of justification by faith alone, but the walk of faith. Show how this is true from the text.
  • What does it mean that “faith is the assurance of things hoped for”? How might the word “substance” (see NKJV) be more helpful than the word “assurance”? How does faith in the heart give substance to future hopes?
  • What does it mean that faith is “the confidence of things not seen”? In other words, talk about some of the things that we believe to be true (concerning the past and the present) that we cannot see with our physical eyes.
  • What does it mean that “by [faith] the people of old received their commendation”? How does faith in the heart — that is, assurance of things hoped for, and confidence of things not seen — produce a commendable life; a faithful life that God approves of? Stated negatively, why should we not expect people to walk faithfully before God if they do not have this “assurance of things hoped for” and “confidence of things not seen”?

  • Hope is vital to life. Discuss. 
  • Why is it foolish to hope in created things? Why is God alone worthy of our hope? 
  • God the Father is the source of our hope, the Son is the object, the Spirit is the instrument (or agent). We must hope in the Triune God, therefore. Discuss.  
  • How does hope in God produce perseverance? How does perseverance produce more hope? 
  • How does hope in God produce peace and joy?
  • Growing strong in hope is a process. In what ways can you grow stronger in hope?

  • It is tragic to see love lacking in the world and home. Why is it particularly tragic when love is lacking in Christ’s church? Discuss.
  • The love that is described by Paul is not romantic love. Nor is it merely emotional love. It is love that emanates from the heart and manifests itself in action. Consider the verbs of verses 4-7 and ask, am I treating others this way from the heart? Discuss. 
  • Why is love the greatest of the three things mentioned in verse 13?

  • What is the chief end of man? Why? Discuss.
  • Why is it folly to trust in men? Does this mean that men and women should never be trusted in any way? Discuss?
  • Why is God alone worthy of our ultimate trust?
  • Never place your ultimate trust in a son of man. There is one exception though. Who is the exception and why?
  • God will reign for all eternity. Those who have taken refuge in the Son will praise him for all eternity. What do you think that will be like?

  • Just how near is God to us? Is he present but only as a passive observer? What do verses 13-18 reveal about God’s nearness?
  • Instead of fleeing from God, what does David do?
  • How does Psalm 139 apply to you today?
