Bible Reading Convos (Exodus 21-25)

REFLECTION QUESTIONS...

SURRENDERED TO JESUS

+ Is God's presence becoming my greatest desire, or have I settled for simply wanting His blessings?

+ Where is Jesus patiently reshaping my heart to reflect His justice, mercy, holiness, and love?

SENT ON MISSION:

+ How is Jesus inviting me to become a bridge that helps someone else draw closer to God?

+ How does my treatment of the vulnerable, overlooked, or difficult people around me reflect the justice and compassion of Jesus?

+ Is there a relationship in my life that Jesus is inviting me to pursue reconciliation?

COMMITTED TO ONE ANOTHER:

+ How can our church become known more for the presence of Jesus than for our personalities, preferences, or programs?

+ Who can I invite around a table with me this week, to strengthen and/or restore our relationship with each other?

🔄 B.O.L.D. LIVING 'RULE OF LIFE':

BE WITH & BLESS OTHERS

+ Share a meal with someone outside your normal circle

+ Practice biblical hospitality by listening well and making space for meaningful conversation

OBSERVE & OBEY THE HOLY SPIRIT

+ Spend five minutes each morning asking one simple question: "Jesus, how are You inviting me to experience Your presence today?"

+ Respond with one concrete act of obedience, even if it feels costly 

LOVE & LIVE LIKE JESUS

+ Choose one relationship where you've been tempted toward retaliation, avoidance, or indifference

+ Take one intentional step toward reconciliation or gracious engagement

DEMONSTRATE & DECLARE THE KINGDOM OF GOD

+ Look for one opportunity this week to demonstrate God's justice and compassion in a tangible way...Meet a practical need, or speak up for a person whose voice is being ignored

+ Be prepared to explain that your motivation comes from following Jesus
