If you were not with us Sunday you can listen to the sermon here: http://www.standrewsonline.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=39&Itemid=79
Genesis 15:1-18
1. Did you go to church as a child? If so, what were your earliest memories of church? If not, share with the group what your first experiences of church were?
2. What are the important parts of an edifying worship service for you?
3. v.1-6: Do you think Abram was struggling with God's promises here? Has God ever promised you something that seemed "too good to be true?" What did you do?
4. v. 7-11: Fr. Mike pointed out the connection God makes between his promises and sacrifices. What sort of sacrifices do we make when we gather for worship? Which come easy for you? Which are harder?
5. v. 12-16: As the deep sleep sets in on Abram, God begins to give him a long-term, generational perspective on things. Is it important for you to pass on your worship traditions to your children and younger generations? Do you think this is something that should be taught or left up to them to discover?
6. v.17-18: What can you remember from the sermon about the Hebrew tradition of "cutting a covenant?" How are these verses a picture of the cross of Christ?
7. Why is worship important for you? What ways can you improve your worship? How can you help improve the worship atmosphere at St. Andrew's?
