Exodus 2:11-25 – Finding Home Discussion Questions

Pray for God’s help as you turn to look at His word, to understand and respond rightly to what you’ll see.

Read through the passage and then discuss these questions together.

1. Describe the choice Moses was faced with in verse 11, what the options were and what the implications of each option would have been for him.

2. In what respect are Christians faced with a similar choice today and what examples can you give of that choice presenting itself, as it did for Moses?

3. Moses’ name for his son in v22 is an autobiographical reflection: “I have [been] a foreigner in a foreign land” (a reference to his time living in Egypt). In what sense should a Christian be able to say the same thing? And to what extent do you think of yourself as “a foreigner in a foreign land”?

4. What might our lives look like if we (a) don’t and (b) do think of ourselves as foreigners in a foreign land?

5. Suffering in this life reminds us that we are ‘not at home’ and looking forward to “a better country” (Heb 11:16). In that context, how are verses 23-25 a comfort to you?
