Welcome to Midweek Talks -
There is so much to get into in the Book of Genesis, that Sunday morning shouldn't be the only place we talk about it.
My desire is that as a church family we continue to think about and process through the stories in Genesis. I've included a couple of discussion questions to help guide your thoughts or family discussions.
If you are a family with children incorporate them into the process. The questions are designed with adults in mind, but can easily be shaped for younger thinkers. To make the questions kid-centered try to focus on big concepts like doubt, fear, faith, and defining Biblical words.
Questions-
1. Reflect on a time when you, like Abram, had doubts about God’s plan for your life. Were you tempted to take matters into your own hands without seeking God? Later, were you able to see how God brought you through, even though you thought you’d been left on your own?
2. Reflect on times when you, like Sarai, were carried along by someone else’s decision. Did you fear that they were leading you into a bad situation, or did you have faith in their leadership? Discuss how the drive for self-preservation can sometimes cloud our judgment and obscure our view of God’s promises.
3. Read through Psalm 105. How does the psalmist describe God’s faithfulness? In what ways can you see God’s faithfulness in your life? How can recalling God’s faithful deeds of the past (as in Psa 105) strengthen your resolve about His ability to direct your future?
