SCRIPTURES FROM SUNDAY:
Isaiah 6:1-8; Exodus 33; 1 John 4:9-10, 17-21; 1 Peter 1:17-21
REFLECT/DISCUSS:
Q: Can you think of an example of something you thought was cool from a distance, but scary up close?
Q: Have you ever had an experience that left you awestruck by God’s presence, holiness or glory? What happened?
Q: What do you think lies behind Moses’ request to see more of God’s glory? Should we be praying for the same thing?
Q: Comparing our sins to others often leaves us feeling ok to with ourselves. What happens when Isaiah sees His sin in the light of God’s glory and holiness? Do you think we need the same experience sometimes? If so, how could we get a taste of this?
Q: God’s grace moved Isaiah and us away from the fear of judgment and punishment and towards something else. How would you describe the kind of fear Christians are supposed to have? (See 1 Peter 1:13-21 for some help.)
Q: Do you agree that many followers of Jesus get too comfortable and casual with Jesus and His grace? If so, how can we strike a balance between intimate love and reverent respect in our daily lives with God?
FOR NEXT WEEK:
