REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

  1. The sermon begins by looking at Moses’s traumatic origins: he is raised among his people, but moves overnight into the house (and privilege!) of Egyptian royalty. How might this have shaped Moses’s sense of identity? How did this divided identity affect Moses's early attempts at heroism?

  2. When Moses kills the Egyptian overseer and “chooses his people,” those people don’t choose him back! What might this teach us about the difference between well-intentioned action and effective service? Think of a time when you tried to help someone but it didn't go as expected. What did you learn about the importance of understanding a situation fully before jumping in to 'fix' it?

  3. What is the difference between Moses’s actions at the well and the encounter with the overseer? How can you tell the difference between serving others to meet your own needs (like proving your worth) versus serving others simply because it's the right thing to do?

  4. We all have “soil” (meaning: life circumstances, trauma, insecurities, and even privilege) that shapes who we are and how we grow. How might God be working in your life right now to heal your past? How might He be calling you to serve… even as you’re still maturing?
