Carefully Think
- This Sunday we will be finishing up with Exodus 19-40. Our focus will be from chapters 32-40. Read through these chapters and see if you can identify and write down the main idea for each of them.
- Read Exodus 32 again. Note carefully, who did Israel and Aaron say the golden calf represented? How does Israel”™s sin relate to any of the Ten Commandments?
- Chapters 25-31 and 36-40 describe the construction of the Tabernacle. Why do you think this was so important in Israel”™s life? What indications do you see in the text?
Prayerfully Meditate
- From reading chapters 32-34, what lessons was Israel to learn about themselves and about relating to God? How would those lessons correlate to us?
- In what ways do we pursue idolatry as Israel did in chapter 32?
- How would you relate your passion for God”™s glory to Moses”™ passion for God”™s glory as seen in 33-34?
Intentionally Act
- From what you have been seeing both last week and this week, how should Exodus be impacting your approach to worship with God”™s people each Sunday? What needs to be enhanced, stopped, changed ““ in your personal approach to corporate worship?
- Spend some time praying for those who will be leading the service on Sunday (Bret Capranica, teaching; Dawson Bryant, music; Mark Krystyniak, prayer and Scripture reading). Pray that they will be thoughtful, focused, encouraging, helpful to the body, and full of Christ in their leadership.
- Pray for others who will be participating in the worship service ““ that they will have servant”™s hearts, affection for Christ that encourages others, focus on how their service will benefit the body.
- Meditate on the lyrics of the songs for Sunday. Play them through the weekend so that your worship through song is more thoughtful, free, and focused.
