God Our Deliverer


January 31, 2013            Exod 15–16, Matt 20:17–34, Ps 18:12–17, Prov 3:20–21

Exodus 15-16
This is the first song found in the Bible and it is a song of praise for God’s protection and salvation.
How do you praise the Lord for His character and blessings?

However, the praising did not last long before the people were complaining again.
They complained about their water, their food, their situation, themselves, their leaders, and the Lord. Oh how quickly we forget the blessings of the Lord.
Why do you think Christians love to complain? (some may say they don’t but ask any waitress or honest preacher)

Matthew 20:17-34
For the third time Jesus predicts what is to come in Jerusalem. Right after this the mother of James and John came asking for greatness for her children. It is sad how we can so greatly miss the point.
What is the difference between the way Jesus led and the way many dictators and world leaders lead?
How can you show a servant style of leadership today?
Why was the healing of blindness so significant?

Psalm 18:12-17
God delivered David from the flood of persecution. What flood in your life has the Lord saved you from or do you need God to deliver you from today?

Proverbs 3:20-21
What are you doing to gain wisdom?
