SERMON QUESTIONS

It is our deep conviction that the Bible is not just to be listened to (Deut. 6:4), but studied (2 Tim. 2:15), meditated upon (Ps 1:2), memorized (Ps. 119:11), and, ultimately, applied to our lives (James 1:22). Because of this, our Bible studies will revolve around the study, meditation, memorization, and application of God’s inspired Word to our lives. Below are sermon questions that correspond to our Sunday morning teaching, so that we slow down and really take in what God is trying to tell us as a church Ohana. These questions will be discussed at our Tuesday Night Bible Study, and any future studies the Lord sees fit to begin.

For all answers, use Scripture to support your answer as best as possible.

  1. Read Exodus 15:1–21

  2. How does this text minister and/or convict you?

  3. What stands out in this song to you?

  4. Why is it good and fitting for God’s people to sing to him?

  5. In what ways is God’s power put on display in this passage/song?

  6. Why is it significant that Pharaoh and the Egyptians were judged specifically in the sea? What does this tell us about judgment in general?

  7. According to verses 13–17, why does God save his people? What is the goal of his salvation he gives?

  8. What is going on when the church sings together in Sunday services? See Ephesians 5:18–21 and Colossians 3:16.

  9. How does this passage/song relate to Christians and should Christians sing this song?

Practice

Two things: (1) meditate on the reality that God saved you out of sin to bring you to himself and (2) sing to the Lord with all your heart as we gather together as a church.
