SCRIPTURE: Exodus 4:24-26

REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

  1. What are some stories from Scripture that you would rather not read? Are there some specific ones that seem troubling to you?

  2. Kenny’s main encouragement this morning is that even when the Bible is uncomfortable, it is still useful. What do you think about this?

  3. Get some of your own thoughts about the passage in Exodus 4 on the table: what do you see here? What do you think is going on? Why might it be important?

  4. The first “tool” this morning is remembering that Biblical stories come from a specific cultural context. When you think about Exodus 4 as a “campfire story,” what can you discover about it?

  5. The second “tool” is connecting stories to each other. What echoes from other Biblical stories do we see here in Exodus 4?

  6. The third “tool” is reflecting on difficult passages without rushing to an answer. Take a moment to think about this story in Exodus 4: what troubles you? Share these concerns with God! What does He show you?

  7. How can you read the Bible more courageously this week? Who can you invite to read, reflect, and discuss it with you?
