LOOKING BACK
Moses: The Ultimate Journey

Centered
Exodus 11-12

Every life needs a defining center. For the believer in Jesus Christ that hollow place of self and
guilt have been exchanged for a new identity and purpose. In a graphic sense when Moses and
the people of Israel experienced that first Passover, they were born again to a new life.
Thinking It Through (agree/disagree consider/contemplate)

In redemption the sinner is set free from his condemnation and slavery to sin.
~John F. Walvoord

The true identity theft is not financial. It's not in cyberspace. It's spiritual. It's been taken.
~Stephen Covey

Your identity is firmly anchored in Christ's accomplishment.

~Tullian Tchividjian

The reconciling gospel is always at the forefront of the churchs social action, because a full
belly is not better than a reconciled soul.
~Matt Chandler
Working it Out
1. What have been some of the formative building blocks that shape your sense of
identity?
2. How have you experienced the Gospel as a nourishing well that continues to replenish
your life?
3. How do you describe your unique purpose in life?
4. Do you believe that a person can change their center? If so, how might this happen?

LOOKING AHEAD
Moses: The Ultimate Journey

Learning His Ways

Psalm 103:7
Lets call it a pregnant phrase.

He made known His ways to Moses Psalm 103:7

Hold your horses! Slow down and read that sentence again. He made known His ways to
Moses. Could you imagine any greater journey in your life? How about an Ultimate Journey?

1. What does this sentence strongly imply about what we can know about the ways of
God on our own?
2. How does this process inform the differences between us and God? (see Isaiah 55:89)
3. Take a stab at what is meant by the ways of God.
4. Try Exodus 15:22-27 and 16:1-7 on for size. What does God reveal about His ways in
this incident?
5. What do you think Moses is learning about Gods ways during this time of his life?
