Discussion Questions

  1. God Sees, Hears, and Responds
  • In Exodus, we’re told that God heard the Israelites’ groaning and took notice of them.
  • How does this picture of a listening and responsive God impact your understanding of who God is?
  • Where do you see God noticing suffering in today’s world? Where do you hope God is noticing?
  1. Divine Calling and Self-Doubt
  • Moses expresses deep doubts about his ability and worthiness—“Who am I?”
  • Have you ever felt unqualified or afraid when called to something new?
  • How do you respond to the idea that God equips us for the work we’re called to? What does that look like in your own life?
  1. I Am Who I Am
  • God reveals the divine name to Moses as “I Am Who I Am.”
  • What do you think this name means? How does it speak to God’s nature?
  • How does the mystery of God’s identity deepen or challenge your faith?
  1. Interdependence as Strength
  • Moses isn’t alone in his calling—God provides Aaron to help. Pastor Mark highlighted this as the point, not just a solution.
  • How do you see interdependence at work in your life, family, or community?
  • How might we better celebrate and embody interdependence in the life of our church?
  1. Modern Liberation and Accessibility
  • Pastor Mark connected the Exodus story to RPPC’s capital campaign and the importance of making our sanctuary physically accessible.
  • What does liberation look like in our context today?
  • How is God calling us—as individuals or as a church—to help remove barriers for others?
  1. Faith in Action
  • “We are all connected,” Pastor Mark said. “Our freedom and our well-being are inseparable.”
  • How can you live out this truth in the week ahead?
  • What are tangible ways we as a church can proclaim, through word and deed, that all are welcome, and all are beloved?
  1. Closing Reflection
  • Like Moses, we may hesitate or feel unworthy, but God still calls and equips.
  • What specific courage or next step do you feel nudged toward this week
  • How can you support someone else who might be wrestling with their own sense of calling or inclusion?
