What's In A Name? | Pastor Brandon Cormier | 11.5.23

TITLE: WHAT IN A NAME? 

TEXT: EXODUS 3:1-17

 

HOPE: 

 • Where have you seen God move in your heart or within others this past week? 

HEAD: 

 • Read Exodus 3:1-12.Then go around and discuss some observations of the text. How does the angel of the LORD appear to Moses (v. 2), and how did he introduce himself (v. 6)? What does the LORD invite Moses to do and why (vv. 7-10)? What is Moses’ reply (v. 11)? How does the LORD reassure him (v. 12)?

 • Read Exodus 3:13-17. Moses asked What is his name? God revealed himself as I AM Who I AM, or I will be what I will Be. After the LORD invites him on a mission, what does Moses want to know (v. 13)? How does God reply (vv. 14-15)?

HEART:  

 • Go around and share your full name, who gave it to you, and why? Is there a special meaning or story behind your name?

 • The divine name of the God of Israel refers to the one who was in the past, is in the present, and will always be in the future. How does God’s name help you understand who he is today?

•  What has this text revealed to you about God's nature and heart for His people? 

HANDS: 

 • Share a time when you have encountered the Lord, and He asked you to do something. What was your response, What questions came up for you?  

 • What is God asking you to do that may seem impossible for you? How will you obey His prompting? 


HELP: 

 • As we seek to grow in Jesus together, how can we help you practice what you committed to do today? Is there an area where we can support you in prayer? 

 • This week: Reflect on a few Names of God and ask the Lord to reveal more of himself to you. (Resource: https://voxchurch.org/Content/onething_packet.pdf)
