Pastor Tim Richards continues the series "Long Journey Home: Navigating the Wilderness", focusing this week on Crossing the Red Sea.

SERMON QUESTIONS

1. How and why did Israel end up stranded by the Red Sea (read Exodus 13:17-18 and 14:1-4)?

2. Israel had just experienced a whole series of miracles (the plagues on Egypt) that had won their release. Why do you think they so quickly started complaining (read Exodus 14:10-12)? Have you ever found yourself acting in a similar way? What happened? What changed your attitude?

3. What part of the Christian experience would you compare the crossing of the Red Sea to? Why?

4. If you are a follower of Jesus, what was your own “crossing over” experience like? Share it with your group. BTW, don’t forget the Travel Log project Pastor Tim challenged us to keep as we journey with Israel
