Scripture: Genesis 17:1-7,15-16
Discussion Questions
Know
K1 Think of a time you have been awestruck? When and where did this happen?
Grow
G1 What is the significance of the Lord (YHWH) revealing himself to Abram as “God Almighty” (El Shaddai)?
G2 Ask yourself how can I more intentionally fall face down in my worship? Can I meditate on the glory of God to the place where his glory CAUSES me to fall facedown?
G3 How can I walk before God? Before the face of God? With the glory of his countenance upon me?
G4 Genesis 17:1 God tells Abram to be blameless. The word “Tamim” is more often translated “whole”. How might living in the tension between facedown and faceup living lead to wholeness?
G5 What does it look like in your current chapter of life for you to walk face-towards-God in faithfulness?
G6 “Falling facedown” and “walking faceup” seem to be a paradox, a mystery, yet they are both part of a life of wholeness. How willing are you to get closer to the edge of the cliff?
