Table Talk | July 12-13
Key Takeaways:
- God’s justice is coming for all, but He provides a way of salvation.
- The Passover lamb in Exodus prefigures Christ as our ultimate sacrificial lamb.
- Our salvation is not based on our merit, but on Christ’s sacrifice.
- We are called to leave behind sin, be ready for God’s work, and share our testimony.
Discussion Questions:
- How does the Passover story in Exodus relate to Christ’s sacrifice? What parallels do you see?
- Consider the statement “justice is coming” for everyone. How does this impact your understanding of salvation and God’s grace?
- We heard, “Redemption was reserved for those who would hide under the blood.” What does this mean for us as Christians today?
- How do you think the Israelites felt as they followed God’s detailed instructions for the Passover? How might this relate to our obedience to God?
- Leaving behind the “yeast of sin” was emphasized in the sermon. What areas of your life might God be calling you to examine and change?
- How can we be “ready to go” in our faith, as the Israelites were instructed to be ready to leave Egypt?
- Why is it important to “tell the story” of God’s faithfulness in our lives? How can we do this effectively?
Practical Applications:
- Take time this week to examine your life for any “yeast of sin” that needs to be confessed and addressed.
- Write down your personal testimony of God’s faithfulness and practice sharing it with a friend or family member.
- Create a plan to regularly participate in communion (Lord’s Supper) with a renewed understanding of its significance.
- Identify one way you can be more “ready to go” in your faith this week (e.g., memorizing Scripture, being prepared to share the gospel).
- Spend time in prayer, thanking God for His provision of salvation through Christ, our Passover Lamb.
Closing Prayer:
Encourage group members to reflect on the Passover story and Christ’s sacrifice throughout the week, considering how it impacts their daily lives and relationship with God.
