Sermon

Moses: A Reluctant Leader, Part 5

August 28, 2011 Mike MinterSermonsExodus

When looking at Scripture, we must discern if what we are reading is descriptive (specific to a single situation or individual) or prescriptive (normative for all people). We often forget that God is not obligated to do everything He is able to do – He is only obilgated to do what He has promised to do.

Moses: A Reluctant Leader, Part 5

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

  1. Read and discuss Exodus 13:17-22. What does this tell you about God? About man?
  2. According to Pastor Mike, what it the difference between “descriptive” and “prescriptive” when examining scripture?
  3. What are the implications of this statement, based on Daniel 3:16-18? “God is not obligated to do what He is able to do. He is only obligated to do what He promises to do.”
  4. What are some things that you personally expect or desire that God has not necessarily promised?
  5. What are some of the promises of God that hold particular value to you? How does knowing the promises of God affect your faith?
