Walking With God: Past - Present - Future Week Two

A Day To Remember

This week, while you meet with your Faith Formation Group you may want to reflect on our Scripture passage by reading Exodus 12:14 (printed below) and discuss the questions from the Scripture and Sermon as a way to begin a conversation. 

Exodus 12:14

“This day will be a day of remembering for you. You will observe it as a festival to the LORD. You will observe it in every generation as a regulation for all time.

Questions for Consideration:

1. Exodus 12:14 comes in the middle of the story of the passover––the night that God would pass over the homes of those who had the blood of the lamb brushed over the top and the sides of their doorframe––the night when God would liberate the nation of Israel. Can you remember a time when God came and did a miraculous work in your life or family? Take time to share this story with your group.
2. Why do you think it is important to remember our stories? What does your story tell you about yourself today?
3. The Jewish calendar revolves around special holidays where their story is told over and over again. Why do you think it is important to hear over and over the story of God’s work within His people? Can you tell the story of God’s work in your life? Take time to share some highlights with your group.

As you meet this week, we encourage you to also take time to open yourselves up as a group and dialog on the following Wesley Challenge question: Do I give time for the Bible to speak to me every day? (Pages 49-52 in The Wesley Challenge)
