Slow Down, part 2
Exodus 19 - Israel at Mt. Sinai, Moses goes up
Exodus 24 - Moses is on the mountain 40 days and nights
- Impatience and fear drove the decision to make an idol
- Israel went back to what they knew from Egypt and slavery
Golden calves - phones, social media, news, books, video games, movies, sports, school events, jobs, etc.
Dealing with the fear of silence and being left with your own thoughts - looking inward
In our silence, we're faced with who we are and who God is
- Abide - to remain, to continue to be present
- Fear opposes love and isolates us
- Love perfects and frees us
Table questions
- 01 How do you recognize and deal with the golden calves in your life?
- 02 How has fear kept you from slowing down?
- 03 How have you felt God's love when you have slowed down?
