A sermon on God's disclosure of his name and attributes to Moses on Mt. Sinai, by Rev. David Camera.

Application questions:

• Make a list of life and death issues, choices and situations as a group.
• Look back to Exodus 3:13-17. What do we learn about God’s name in this passage?
• The name “LORD” is literally “I am” in Hebrew. Explore together what God’s name “I am” teaches us about His nature.
• What does God reveal about His character (i.e. what He is like) in Ex. 34:6-7?
• Why do the Israelites (along with us!) need to know these things about God?
• The number 1000 in the Bible is a symbol for perfection. What is God saying therefore about His forgiveness and his justice?
• Look again at the second half of verse 7. Is God saying He punishes the innocent children of sinful parents? Why or why not? Discuss.
• Does it sometimes appear that evil goes unpunished? What is God assuring us of therefore in this verse?
• What are the Lord’s actions in the passage and what do those actions reveal about Him?
• What is the relationship between God’s eternal nature, His character and His actions?
• Why can we trust God according to these verses?
• Look up John 17:1-5. How do we know the Lord today?
