The 2020 Advent Devotional was created in tandem with a special Advent Box containing materials to complete each activity/practice at the beginning of the week. However, if you did not receive a box, most of the activities can be recreated with items from around your house or neighborhood! We look forward to celebrating this season of hope and expectation with you—share your photos on social media and tag us along the way @bethanygreenlake!

Formed in Scarcity and Sabbath

Exodus 16:15-30
Richard Dahlstrom, Senior Pastor, www.spiritsoulbody.org

If we’re to know PEACE and experience the life for which we’re created we must, must, MUST submit to three laws:

  • The Law of Provision
  • The Law of Rhythm
  • The Law of Deep Rest

Discussion Questions
Before questions, attempt to give the group a bit of a summary of the main points of the sermon and then choose a few questions that fit your group’s needs and style. We don’t intend for you to use all of these. Three to five questions may be a good number.
  • How is it that acquiring what you need in order make a better life for yourself DOES not fit into the Kingdom of God?
  • What does it look like to seek contentment with what you receive from God versus seeking after the next acquisition according to the world’s standards?
  • Read Exodus 16:15-30 aloud.
  • How do the rhythms of provision that the Lord gave to the Israelites relate to rhythms of provision today?
  • What rhythms do you have that place you in the space to show up and receive what God has to give?
  • Take a moment to reflect silently on what might God begin giving you today? Giving your community today? (ex. Food, shelter, opportunities to share your own gifts, etc.)
  • What step has God given you individually and/or as a group for fulfilling the calling he’s given us to be His presence in this world?
  • Do you have a current Sabbath practice? (Option to read Hebrews 3 & 4 aloud)
  • Share what practices of Sabbath have been valuable to you in the past/ present.
  • What would it look like to begin practicing Sabbath weekly? (i.e. What would have to change in your schedule or priorities?)
