SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
Spiritual growth happens when we receive new knowledge and then apply it to our lives. This always happens best in the context of community. Take time this week and engage in these additional scriptures and questions on your own. Then, discuss them with your Small Group.“As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend” Proverbs27:17
GETTING STARTED
What is something new or interesting that you've learned recently, whether it's a fact, skill, or piece of information? From this weekend’s sermon, which statement, point, or insight was most helpful, challenging, or even confusing to you personally?
GOING DEEPER
The Hebrews believed and worshiped, yet they were still in Egypt. How does this concept resonate with our own experiences of belief and worship? What does it mean to move from belief to action?
“Things often get worse before they get better on the journey.” Can you share a personal experience where challenges seemed overwhelming before improvement or resolution?
Discuss the analogy of God providing a guide (pillar of cloud and fire) instead of a map. How does this relate to the idea of following Jesus as the way rather than just knowing the way? Would you rather have a guide or a map?
Share a time when, like the people of Israel, you experienced God not delivering you from difficulties but rather through them. How does this perspective change the way you approach and navigate challenges in your faith journey? How can we pray for one another this week?
