Reflection

1. Of the 9 things about God mentioned in the sermon, what stands out to you the most and why?

2. What does God’s name, I AM, mean? How can we take comfort in this? Re-read John 8 together to see how Jesus uses this language.

3. Re-read verses 3:11, 4:1, 4:10, and 4:13. What are Moses fear? Insecurities? How does God respond?

4. How can our weaknesses actually be a benefit as we live our lives for Christ? (See 2 Cor. 12:1-10)
