    “S1 Episode 5: Moses/Exodus
    Questions for small groups or personal deeper study. S1 Episode 5: Moses (Exodus) #LongStoryShort1. Why do you think God uses the 10 plagues and the parting of the Red Sea to liberate his people? Why this way?2. Why did God give Israel the law? What purposes do we see in the Law? What does Galatians 3:24 have to say about this? 3. What is meant by Jesus when he says he has not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it? 4. Read Hebrews 7:23-28. (Melchizedek comes up again in this chapter;) But what is so significant about Jesus being our eternal priest and sacrifice? Why is this actually better than Old Testament priests and sacrifices? 5. Describe the tabernacle and its contents. What do you think is represented by the furniture and items inside it and it’s construction. (Exodus 25-31) 6. Read Exodus 24 and imagine what it would have been like to behold God upon the mountain in all his glory? Discuss his glory. His holiness. His power. His personal relationship with Israel and Moses. Now describe our relationship and view of God today. 7. What is meant by Jesus being our Passover Lamb? (1 Cor. 5:7; 1 Peter 1:18-20; John 1:29)

    “Season 1 Episode 4 -Israel”
    Questions for small groups or personal deeper study. S1 Episode 4 Israel (Genesis 25-Exodus 3) #LongStoryShortHere are the passages from the major movements from the sermon:Genesis 25:21-28 - Birth of Jacob and Esau (Gen. 50:20-21 - God works it out for good) Genesis 27:18 - Jacob’s deception for the birthright Genesis 28:12-16 - Jacobs ladder Genesis 32:24-31 -  Jacob/Israel wrestles Gen. 50:24-25 - Joseph’s bones Exodus 1:8 - King didn’t know Joseph. Exodus 3:13-15 - God’s name Exodus 3:7-8 - God comes down1. Talk through the movements as they are listed above from the sermon. What story stuck out to you? How does it fit in to the meta narrative of the Bible? Does it point us to Jesus in anyway? 2. Often, God chose the younger instead of the older/firstborn to receive his blessing. Why do you think this is? What do we learn from this pattern? 3. Think of as many stories in the Bible where God works in unexpected ways that is contrary to the prevailing wisdom of man. (David and Goliath example #1, Jacob chosen instead of Esau example #2) 4. Why is John 1:50-51 so significant and what is Jesus saying here? 5. Why do you think God changes Jacob’s name to Israel? Why do you think this took place in the manner and sequence that it did and why a wrestling match of all things? What do you think is being communicated here through this story? 6. Discuss the significance of God revealing his name as “I AM WHO I AM” 7. Extra credit: Genesis 50:24-26 — Joshua 24:32. How cool are these verses?

    ” S1 Episode 3: Abraham”
    Questions for small groups S1 Episode 3: Abraham (Genesis 12-22) #LongStoryShort1.Recap the major movements in each chapter leading up to the call of Abraham in Genesis 12. Where does Abraham come from what seed or family line does he come from? Why is this significant?2.Look at Gen. 12:8. Bethel means “house of God” and Ai means “heap of ruin.” Why or why not is it significant for Abraham to pitch his tent and build an altar between the two? What New Testament connection can we find to Jesus through this?3a. Who is Melchizedek? Why is he being the King of Salem so important and especially as he is contrasted with King of Sodom? Genesis 14:183b. Check out other passages mentioning Melchizedek: Psalm 110:4 , Hebrew 7:1-10, 15, 17; Hebrews 5:6-10. How does this mysterious priest/King and his blessing on Abraham help us understand the story of the Bible and the purpose of Jesus’ coming? (Note: Melchizedek is one of the most complicated and debated figures in all of scripture but it’s good to stretch our understanding and rely on the Holy Spirit to help us understand).4.Compare our study of Abraham so far in Gen. 12-15 and 22 with Hebrews 11:8-19. How does the author of Hebrews help summarize and explain the significance of Father Abraham and his faith to us today?5.What does the usage of Hebrew word “hineni” or “here I am” in Genesis 22:1, 7, 11 communicate to you?
