DISCUSSION
Life App: Patience—Waiting until later for what you want now
Bible Story: Sitting, Waiting, Wishing (Golden Calf) • Exodus 32:1-35
Key Question: What can you think about when it’s hard to wait?
Bottom Line: When you have to wait, remember what’s true
Basic Truth: I am loved by God, no matter what, so I can trust God to guide me.
Memory Verse: Wait for the Lord. Be strong and don’t lose hope. Wait for the Lord.
Psalm 27:14 (NIrV)
Ask the following questions:
- If you had been on the scene when the Israelites started planning the golden calf construction project, what could you have said to help them go back to what was true and do the right thing?
- What do you think are some of the best reasons to be patient?
- What are some things you believe, without a doubt, to be true about God?
- What can you think about when it’s hard to wait?
- When you’re in a tough situation and you have to wait for answers—like when a family member is sick or when a parent loses a job—how does it help you to know that God keeps His promises, loves you, has a plan for you, etc.?
