Sermon Text: Exodus 33:12-23
Preaching: Landon Brewer
‍
1. Israel made a golden calf because they wanted something they could see, touch, and control. What are things we turn to for security, comfort, or control instead of trusting God? How might those things become idols in our lives?
2. The people of Israel stayed back while Moses went to meet with God. Why do you think we tend to withdraw from God when we sin or fail? What helps us move toward God instead?
3. On Sunday, we discussed putting ourselves in places/situations where we can hear and experience God’s presence. What shared experiences with God have been most formative? What are ways that you can cultivate more shared experiences with God?
4. What are the prayers you want to bring to God that you have pushed away…buried deep in you? Do you ask God for big things? And if you don’t, why not?
5. What is one word or phrase that you feel like encapsulates what God is speaking to you?
