Reflection Questions

  1. Discuss the significance of the Israelites receiving silver and gold from the Egyptians as mentioned in the sermon. How do these symbols of kingship and betrothal deepen our understanding of our identity as God’s chosen people? (Exodus 11:2; Genesis 45:22; Genesis 24:53)

  2. Reflect on the idea presented in the sermon that our spiritual inheritance and bestowed righteousness are ultimately for God’s glory. How does this perspective shape our understanding of grace and our response to it? (Ephesians 2:8-9; Isaiah 43:7)

  3. From the sermon, we learn that believers are promised eternal wealth and security in God’s kingdom. How should the hope of these promises impact the way we view material possessions and our sense of security in this world? (Matthew 6:19-21; Philippians 3:20)

  4. The sermon emphasizes the importance of preparing for our spiritual union with Christ. What are some practical ways we can “adorn ourselves” in righteousness in anticipation of this divine marriage? (Ephesians 5:25-27; 1 Peter 3:3-4)

  5. As we consider the sermon’s message about living in anticipation of God’s promises, how can we support and encourage one another to stay focused on the eternal rather than getting lost in the temporary? (Colossians 3:1-2; Hebrews 10:24-25)

A Just Judgment (Exodus 9:13-10:29)

Reflection Questions

  1. In reflecting on the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart, how can we reconcile the concept of God’s sovereignty with human free will? Compare Exodus 9:16 Romans 9:17-18, where Paul addresses God’s purpose in Pharaoh’s obstinacy.

  2. How should the reality of God’s sovereignty affect our reverence towards Him? Can you think of ways we might inadvertently show a lack of respect for God’s authority in our daily lives? (Exodus 9:13-16)

  3. Considering God’s display of power through the plagues, how can we learn to trust in His ultimate authority over history? Have you had a time when you’ve witnessed or learned of God’s providential work in historical events? (Exodus 9:16)

  4. The sermon invites us to reflect on our own response to God’s word. Are there areas in your life where you feel resistant or receptive to His teachings? How can we pray for and support those who are spiritually sightless? (2 Corinthians 4:4)

  5. The sermon touches on the importance of recognizing and honoring God the orchestrator history. In what ways can we grow in our understanding and acknowledgement of God’s role in our lives and the world around us? (Colossians 1:16-17)
