Why? Grow G1 In Deuteronomy 2:1–3, God says, “You have made your way around this hill country long enough; now turn north.” Where in your life might God be saying, “You’ve circled this long enough — it’s time to move forward”? G2 In Deuteronomy 2:10–12, 20–22, Moses explains that the Moabites, Ammonites, & Edomites (Israel’s relatives) had already driven out formidable peoples like the Anakites, Rephaim, and Horites. Why do you think God intentionally led Israel past these examp

Grow G1 The butterfly became a picture of transformation — from darkness and heaviness at Bunce Island to signs of new life and hope. Where have you seen God bring transformation, either in your own life or in someone else’s? G2 Clean water didn’t just change health — it changed education, safety, dignity, and opportunity for entire villages. What does that teach us about how meeting practical needs can open the door for deeper spiritual transformation? G3 The story of the teenage girl at th

(Lev 26) Grow G1 Leviticus 26 reflects a Suzerain–Vassal treaty, a common agreement in the Ancient Near East where a powerful king (the suzerain) pledged protection and blessing to a weaker people (the vassals), and in return expected loyalty and obedience. Blessings followed faithfulness, and consequences followed rebellion (Lev 26:1–13; Lev 26:14–39). How does seeing the chapter through that lens change the way you hear God’s words? G2 Throughout the chapter, God warns of

Lewis, have you ever had a moment—maybe in nature, during worship, or in a quiet time—where you felt like you weren't just "looking at" God’s truth, but actually "looking along" it and experiencing His glory for yourself? Grow in Groups G1 In the first half of our passage [Leviticus 9:23-24], the people respond to God’s fire with a mix of shouting for joy and falling facedown. Why do you think both of those reactions—celebration and deep reverence—are necessary when we encounter God's presence? G2 We talked about how Nadab and Abihu might have been trying to "control" God or approach Him on their

Grow G1 What does Exodus 25:8 reveal about God’s desire to dwell with His people? G2 Why do you think God invited the Israelites to participate in building the tabernacle rather than creating it Himself? (Exodus 25:1–9) G3 The offerings were described as heart-prompted, specific, and purposeful. How do you see that reflected in Exodus 25:2–7 and echoed in 2 Corinthians 9:7? G4 How does seeing God as an “engineer” or “architect” shape the way you understand His work in your life? (Exodus 25:9; Ephesians 2:20–22) G5 In what ways does the tabern

(Exodus 6:1–10) Grow G1 The Israelites were suffering deeply when God spoke these words to Moses (Exodus 5:22–6:1). Why do you think God chose this moment to reveal his name? G2 God introduces himself by saying, “I am the LORD” (Exodus 6:2). What does it mean to you that God wants his people to actually know his name, not just know about him? G3 The sermon talked about how “the LORD” can sometimes sound distant or formal. Have you ever felt like God seemed far away — and what helpe

Grow G1 Jacob returns to Bethel, a place where he once encountered God (Gen 28:10–22; Gen 35:1–7). Why do you think returning to that place mattered so much for Jacob at this stage of his life? G2 The renaming of Luz to Bethel turns an ordinary location into a “spiritual address” (Gen 28:19; Gen 35:7). Can you think of a place, season, or moment in your life that became significant because of an encounter with God? G3 The oak named Allon Bakuth marks grief an
