2 Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this show me about God?

   • God starts by reminding them who he is and what he did for them, and only then gives the commands. Why in that order?

2. What does it show me about people — and about me?

   • One of these is about not telling lies about other people. Why do you think God put that with things like stealing and killing?

3. What will I obey this week?

   • Whose name have you told a story about that was not quite fair? What will you say to fix it?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who is being talked about at school? What will you do next time it starts?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
