INTRODUCTION: How does the story of the John Frum village strike you?

WATCH SERMON

READ: Exodus 34:6-7

DISCUSS
1. Pastor Joey asked: Do we see God for who He actually is? What do you think…do you?
2. What comes to your mind when you think about God? What do you picture? What words rise to the surface?
3. Pastor Joey notes that Exodus 34.6 and 7 provide us with God’s brief description of himself. Does it surprise you that “Abounding in Love and Faithfulness” is that brief description? What else might you have expected to be noted?
4. How do our personal experiences with unfaithfulness and conditional love affect how we think about God? Do we project what we’ve lived through on God?
5. Do the hard things in life make you doubt or question God’s goodness and faithfulness?
6. What are the things / people / practices that remind you of the truth, drawing you back to God as He actually is?

PRAY
Lord, thank you for your abounding love and faithfulness. Help us to see you as you actually are and to know that you’re with us and for us in the trials and challenges of life.
