Session 4 Discussion Questions - East of Eden
1. How do promises function in our lives? How do they affect the future? How does it feel to have a promise kept? Or broken? If God makes and keeps promises, how does that shape our sense of God's covenant?
2. What are the most significant covenants (or promises) in your life? How do they keep you in relationship with others and remind you of that relationship?
3. How do our laws today reflect the Ten Commandments? What are some current laws that help us treat our neighbor well? What kinds of laws would better reflect God's will that we care for each other?
Review Exodus 19-20
4. God declares Israel to be God's chosen people before giving Israel the law. What difference does this make?
5. Behind each "you shall not" phrase in the Old Testament is a positive value. How would you re-write a low to express its intent in more positive terms?
6. The Ten Commandments deal with our relationships with God and with each other and creation. Are there any laws that seem to be missing? Any essential relationships we would want to add today?
