Okay brethren, here we go into Exodus. Only four chapters to read this week (chapters 1-4, in case anyone forgot). Since we are still in the realm of the familiar stories, I hope we all can take time to not only read over the stories well, but think, pray, and worship (yes!) over the stories we have before us.
1) As I have kept on emphasizing in the past study questions, look for what is emphasized in each chapter. For example: in chapter 1, how much attention is placed on Israel's (not the person or the country, but the people group) hardship and suffering in Egypt (hint: not much). So again, what is each chapter focusing on?
2) How are these beginning chapters in Exodus connected with the end of Genesis? How does the story of the Israelites flow from Genesis to Exodus?
3) One thing I have done in my Bible is underline all the places where God says "I will________ (do such and such). You don't have to do this, but it might be helpful in understanding the story, as well as being an amazing testament to our great God!
You guys may have noticed that my questions are rather vague. I do that because vague questions really make us think about what we're reading.
I might be back later this week with more questions, and if you have your own questions then please throw them up here. Also, if you guys want another mid-week get-together-and-study, I'm down for that. Until then, I look forward to seeing y'all at this week's meeting with your Bibles, some notes, and stuff to write with for prayer requests!

God has not forgotten his people.
See the book of Exodus.
