Discussion Questions

  1. Understanding Bondage: In what ways do you see parallels between the Israelites’ slavery in Egypt and the spiritual bondage that people experience today? How does this understanding affect your view of sin?
  2. God’s Sovereignty: How does the concept of God as the one who declares, “Let my people go,” shape your understanding of His authority over your life and circumstances?
  3. Personal Reflection: Have you ever felt like you were in a situation where you were unable to free yourself from sin or a negative habit? How did you experience God’s intervention in that situation?
  4. The Nature of Freedom: Spurgeon emphasizes that God desires complete freedom for His people, not just a temporary respite from sin. What does complete freedom from sin look like in your life?
  5. The Role of Faith: How does faith play a role in experiencing the freedom that God offers? What steps can you take to strengthen your faith in God’s promises?
  6. Repetition of God’s Message: Spurgeon notes that God’s command to Pharaoh was repeated multiple times. Why do you think God emphasizes His message repeatedly in our lives? How can we be more receptive to His voice?
  7. Hope for Others: Spurgeon expresses hope for those who may not yet recognize they are God’s people. How can we share this hope with others in our lives who may be struggling with sin or feeling lost?
