The Cloud of the Lord (Exodus 35-40)
|
The Cloud of the Lord (Exodus 35-40)
Today we talk about where we've been (plagues, commandments, sabbath, and struggles) and where we're going (Leviticus, difficult scripture, and God's unyielding hope).
Questions for reflection this week:
- How do we see God's commandments (for behavior, worship, etc.) as gifts rather than restrictions?
- What does "the cloud of the Lord" mean to you? How do you envision God's presence?

Idols (Exodus 32-34)
|
Idols (Exodus 32-34)
Today we talk about our idols, God's anger, and how we rebuild the covenant.
Questions for reflection:
- What do you think about prayer? Does our wrestling with God, through prayer, change things? Can God's mind be changed?
- What are your idols? What are those things, or people, or parts of ourselves, in which we put too much trust and faith?
