Moses is Inspirational
What aspects of Moses’ life stand out to you as a point of
inspiration?

Moses is Foundational/Formational
– Read Deuteronomy 6:4-9 & Matthew 22:37-40

How has the second part of the Deuteronomy text been
lived out in your life? What were the faith stories you heard
as a kid? What stories of God did you pass along in your
own family? How do you remember what God has done in
your life?

Jesus uses the text from Deuteronomy as a summary of
what God is looking for from us. How else do you let the
Old Testament inform your understanding of God, what it
means to walk in faith, and the active work of the Holy
Spirit?

Moses is Not Enough, Not Continual – Read
Deuteronomy 32:48-52
Moses is good, but Jesus is greater! How does the reality
that Jesus is the ultimate grant freedom to our lives?

Moses is Reverable, Adorable, Aspirational | Read
Deuteronomy 34:10

This text seems to be an epitaph – something they’d put on
a head stone – what do you hope goes on your headstone?
Moses knew the Lord, face to face  . . . in Exodus 33.20 the
Lord says that no one can see his face and live . . . what
makes the difference from the earlier moment to the time of
Moses’ death?

Where is a good place for you to meet with God, so that
you might know God as Moses knew the Lord?
