    Questions Covered in This Episode:

    If God didn’t reveal his name as Yahweh until he told Moses, why do we see Moses using that name throughout the book of Genesis in quotations by Adam (Gen 4:1), Lamech (Gen 5:29), Noah (9:26)?

    I think when most people think of God in Exodus and the Old Testament in general they think of the Father. Could you all discuss the work of the economic Trinity throughout Exodus?

    What your thoughts on life after death? I've always been taught to be absent from the body is to be present from the Lord, but I listened to a Bible Project podcast that taught that we'll be in a deep sleep until the second coming of Christ when the dead in Christ will rise.

    Tell us about someone that you've discipled that has really grown and flourished, who might be really kicking it for the Kingdom now. How did the relationship begin? What contributed to their growth?

    What's your opinion on sushi?

    Where do you see single gender spaces being valuable vs. mixed gender spaces? For example, do you see men and women learning inductive Bible study methods together? Spiritual disciplines/formation? How would men and women share in teaching in those spaces?

    How do each of your spouses support you in ministry/your ministry? How has being in ministry affected your marriages?

    Reading across translations, Genesis 3:15 often doesn’t sound like a promise of victory or defeat since it’s directed at the serpent. Would the first hearers have understood it as a promise, or is it something we project on this statement in hindsight?

    If the three persons of the trinity have only one will, why would Christ need to intercede for us to the Father?

    Where does children's ministry help and where does children's ministry hurt (in the context of the Sunday gathering)? What are potential pitfalls to be avoided when leading children's ministry and what parts shouldn't be overlooked?

    16 november 2023 · 49 min

    Afspelen
    Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley discuss the themes found in the stories of God turning bitter water sweet, the provision of manna, and water flowing from the rock Moses strikes. Lees meer

    Questions Covered in This Episode:

    After the Song of Moses and Miriam, we get this interesting little account of God turning bitter water sweet for Israel: How is this significant?

    How do these three stories fit together?

    How do these stories connect to Jesus?

    Where do we see this miraculous provision of bread from heaven elsewhere in the story of scripture?

    Where else does God address people grumbling?

    When we are reading Old Testament passages that deal with the law, how much should we be looking at these passages and wondering if there are principles that should be governing our moral imagination?

    We get the sabbath principle before we get the law of sabbath. Why?

    What is the significance of the rock that Moses strikes?
