Setting the Scene
Knowing who you are and what makes you you is
important how well do you think you know
yourself?
What does the verse thats just been read say
about your existence and about God?

Survival Scenario

Survival Scenario
What would be your first 3 priorities after you
have left the airplane and why?
What would you use first from the list of items?
What would you do to try and get help?
How would you use the other items?
5
Survival Scenario
Within your group did someone take the lead in
making decisions?
Did any of your group not contribute?
Was their any conflict or disagreement?
Do you think you would have survived?

Going Deeper
Do you think that Moses knew that he was capable
of killing another man?
Why do you think that he argued with God so much?
If he had known that he would be battling Pharaoh
for a few years and then leading a fairly
reluctant bunch of Israelites around the desert
for the next 40 years, do you think Moses would
have finally agreed?
If you knew what God was going to do with your
unique capabilities in the next 40 years do you
think youd be happier now or scared?

What is it to me?
How does knowing who we are help us?
How does knowing that we are created, chosen,
called, commissioned and a part of community help
us in our day to day lives?
What parts of our being do we still want to
discover?
