Exodus 2:1-10
Mother's Day
Discussion Questions
1. What is one thing that stood out to you from this week’s message?
2. Have you ever been made to feel like a nobody? If appropriate, share a
time when you were left out, overlooked, or felt alone. How did you
respond when that happened? Did it change the way you viewed yourself?
3. Why doesn’t Moses reveal his mother’s name when he writes about his
early life? Likewise, why doesn’t Moses share the names of the Egyptian
pharaohs at the time of his birth and the Israelite exodus?
4. If you have children, share something special you see in each child. Why
is it that parents tend to see a child’s inner beauty and potential before
anyone else? What creative ways you can communicate those special
qualities to your children this week?
5. When has the voice of an authority figure drowned out the voice of God in
your life? Did you follow the direction of the authority figure or God in that
situation? What are some tips you’ve discovered to more clearly discern
God’s voice from the noise and distractions?
6. Why did Jochebed choose to place Moses’s basket in the reeds? How did
that act demonstrate her faith in God?
7. What great length have you gone to protect your child, or someone you
love, from experiencing hurt or harm? What was the outcome of that decision? How did that person respond when they realized what you did to
help them?
8. Jochebed made the most of her time with Moses by teaching him about his Hebrew heritage. What every day, mundane opportunities do you have to share your faith with the children in your life, regardless if they were born to you?
9. How can we pray for you?
