6.2.19- God Hears His People

Use the following thoughts and questions to have a spiritual conversation as a family. Don’t emphasize having the right answer, but focus on spending time discussing the Word as a family.

Scripture

Exodus 3:2-15; 4:1-5

Session Summary 

This is a story most Christians have heard time and time again: Moses and the burning bush. While we often focus on that symbol, we have to remember this was the way God called Moses to help lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Still, Moses questioned God’s choice, questioned his own ability to do what God had called him to do. But God wasn’t looking for perfection; He was looking for someone who would rely on Him to accomplish His plan. He revealed Himself as the God of Moses’ fathers, and as the God who is. He is above us, yet He is with us.

Conversation Questions

• When has our family seen God’s power displayed after taking a step of faith in obedience?
• How does it both comfort and challenge our family that God sees everything (including sin) that goes on in our lives?
• What are some practices our family can start or put in place to help use revere God more or in a new way?
• What has God called our family to do? What challenges might we face? How can our faith help us overcome these challenges?

Family Challenge

This week, commit to memorizing the following Scripture:

"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time for us to do."

Come up with activities or games to help you work together to memorize this verse. Also, consider writing out the verse and placing it where the whole family can see it. At the end of the week, gather together and talk about what God taught you about this verse throughout the week.
