Taking it Further Questions:


1. Looking back at your notes from this week’s teaching, was there anything that particularly caught your attention, challenged, or confused you?


2. In today’s Scripture verses, the Hebrew midwives and Moses’ mother (Jochebed) feared and honored God more than man and the demands of man. Who are some others in Scripture who did the same? How did God honor the midwives? In what ways have you seen God honor you for your obedience to Him?


3. How are we tempted to honor / obey / yield to man before God? How might we be able to be a ‘threat’ to the kingdom of this world by putting God first?


4. Exodus 2:2 says that Moses’ mother saw that he was a “beautiful child” (NKJ) / “fine child” (ESV), and therefore hid him three months. Was this act of valor based solely on Moses’ physical appearance as a baby? What more might this signify?


5. The Hebrew women did not let the king’s threats stop them from having children and leaving a heritage. Why does the ‘fear of what might happen’ often paralyze us? How are we to respond to this kind of fear?


6. Trying to put yourself in Jochebed’s shoes, what might have gone through her mind when she put her baby boy in a basket and let him float away? How can we trust God when the circumstances in our life seem so ‘wrong’?
