SMALL GROUP & PERSONAL DEVOTION QUESTIONS

Read Genesis 2:1-3

  • In this passage, we see that God worked for six days and rested on the 7th. What does this rhythm of work and rest tell us about God?
  • Read Exodus 20:8-11 and Deuteronomy 5:12-15. Why are we commanded to keep the Sabbath holy? How are the Israelites instructed to observe the Sabbath?
  • What makes something “holy”? What does it mean to keep the Sabbath “holy”?
  • In what way does your life right now conform (or not) to this basic biblical pattern of work and rest? What keeps you from practicing Sabbath in this way?
  • How have you seen people practice the Sabbath in a healthy way in today’s world? What is one step you can take this week to integrate this rhythm into your life?
  • We all have the same 168 hours in a week. What time will you set apart this week so that you might become more aware of God’s presence?
