NOT BY BREAD

EXODUS 16:13-36

You do not live by bread alone, but by the Word of the Lord.

  • Daily Gathering (vv. 13-21)

  • Ceasing on the Sabbath (vv. 22-30)

  • Throughout your Generations (vv. 31-36)

Discussion Starters

Monday—Think about your own life, in what ways do you try to gather and store up for yourself? Why do you do that?

Tuesday—Is anxiety sinful? Why or why not? What other passages talk about anxiety?

Wednesday—Do you truly ‘cease’ your labors on the Sabbath? What do you do with your time instead? What should you do with your time on the Sabbath?

Thursday—Why does God command Israel to keep a jar of manna throughout their generations? What has God given you instead of a jar of manna?

Friday—How does the Supper teach you that you do not live by bread alone? How does that shape your daily life as well as how you treat the Sabbath?
