How is God been using you this week? What have you seen him do around you or through you?
What Questions came up from the scripture and teaching this morning?
Put yourself in Sarah’s shoes. After not having any children, you become pregnant for nine months and then give birth to a son. What are the thoughts you’d be having during your pregnancy and around the birth of your son? What comments do you think other people would be making?
How do you think Abraham was feeling when Sarah had him to get rid of Hagar and Ishmael?
What do God’s comments to Hagar and Ishmael teach us about God and his desires?
What questions do you have from the text and/or the message today?
That Lot was sitting by the gate meant that he was a leader/politician in Sodom…..what might this teach us about Lot?
Lot was an assimilator he became like the world around him. Noah was an isolator he isolated himself from the world around him. Abraham was an engager, he engaged the world around him. Which of these three men do you see the most of in the church today? Why do you say this?
Why do you think God spared Lot?
What do we learn about hospitality and caring on the family line from this chapter? what does God want us to learn from this story?
