DISCUSSION OF WEEK 3 - THE PEOPLE OF GOD

INTRODUCTION
We’re going through a study called “Cover to Cover: A 50-Day Flyover of the Bible.” By reading approximately 1-2 chapters a day and watching a few 5-8 minute videos from the Bible Project each week, we’ll discover the answers to some of life's biggest questions and come to a better, more helpful understanding of the Christian faith and the beauty of its promise for the world.  

This week, we’re discussing the readings, videos, and message from Week 3 titled “The People of God.”

REVIEW & DISCUSS
  1. Did you complete all readings? All the videos?
  2. What stood out to you from last week’s readings and videos? Any favorites or most interesting?
  3. Why did God make the Hebrews his people?
  4. How would you explain what “The Law” was?
  5. How did the laws that God gave his people communicate his character and his desires for ancient Israel?
  6. Why did God’s people practice animal sacrifice? What’s their connection to Jesus’ sacrifice?
  7. Read Deuteronomy 30:15-16. The word “life” is the same as the one used for “tree of life” in Genesis 2. The word “prosperity” or tov is the same word as “good” which God used to describe creation in Genesis 1. How does loving and obeying God bring about “life” and “good”?

TAKEAWAY
  1. How did last week’s readings and videos change your view of the Bible and God’s intent for humans?
  2. What is one specific choice you can make to love God and others this week?
  3. How do you think that choice could bring life to those around you?

PRAYER
First, take some time to ask people to identify prayer needs related to the discussion. Second, take some time to ask for additional prayer requests. Then close your time together in prayer.

About Us
First Covenant Church is part of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC), which is a rapidly growing multi-ethnic denomination in the United States and Canada, with ministries on five continents of the world. Founded in 1885 by Swedish immigrants, the ECC values the Bible as the word of God, the gift of God's grace, and an ever-deepening spiritual life that comes through faith with Jesus Christ. We value the importance of extending God's love and compassion to a hurting world, and the strength that comes from unity within diversity. ​
