1) Read Exodus 24. What thoughts or questions came to mind as the Word was read?
2) Three levels of God-encounter – the top of the mountain (Moses), part of the way up the mountain (Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, 70 elders and Joshua) and at the foot of the mountain (the people of Israel).  At which level would you have chosen to be and why?
3) See v.16. Moses waited 6 days at the top of the mountain before God spoke.  Could you wait that long?

• How do you respond when God seems not to be speaking?  How long before you seek another source or answer?
• How long a time do you give to God for Him to answer your prayers before you “give up”?
  

4) Why is inward holiness more important that outward holiness?
5) How does the “fading glory” on Moses’ face compare with our walk with Jesus?
6) We can have every moment of every day what Moses could only have “by appointment”.

• What might Moses say to us about that if he were here in our LG today?
• In what ways can we respond more passionately and gratefully to “the glory of His Presence”?

7) Where is your “mountain”?  Where is it easiest for you to connect to God and His glory?
8) What does it feel like when you feel connected to God?
9) A song says, “Turn your eyes upon Jesus; look full in His wonderful face; and the things of earth will grow strangely dim; in the light of His glory and grace.”  Share a faith story about when that was true for you.
10) How can we pray for ECB and for our group right now?
