5. DISCUSSION

(10 MINUTES)

Take time with your family to discuss these questions (or variations of these questions) together, and reflect on this week’s truth and Word.

1. QUESTION: What does a judge do? Do you think judges are perfect? Why or why not? What did Abraham say about God as a judge?

TAKEAWAY: God is just, and he will make good judgments.

2. QUESTION: Why does God destroy the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah? Why isn't Lot destroyed by the fire? What happened to Lot's wife? Why?

TAKEAWAY: God blesses those who obey and punishes those who disobey.

3. QUESTION: Is there anyone who obeys God all the time? Explain. What did we just learn about how God responds when we disobey? What is the only way to escape God's judgment of sin?

TAKEAWAY: In Jesus, God offers the forgiveness of sins.

6. PRAY
