Bible Study Notes

*************************************************
November 19, 2005

Exodus 16 – 20

1) The Israelites complained against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness about not having food and then again about not having water. What should they have
done instead of complaining?

2) In Genesis 16: 10-11, describe how you see this happening. Why do the Israelites know this is word from God through Moses?

3) God has given the Israelites specific instructions on gathering the food, when,
where, and how much. Are the Israelites obedient? Why or Why not specifically?

4) Who is God angry with when the Israelites are disobedient? Why?

5) Is this true for us today…do you believe God holds the Pastors an other leadership accountable when “the people” of the house are disobedient?

6) What about Christian based organizations, when the organization is not moving or doing the purpose of what God has called them to do, does God hold the leadership accountable? How would we know who God is holding accountable?

6(a). God obviously holds Moses accountable for the Israelites. How do we know
this?

7) What lesson can we learn from Aaron and Hur’s actions at this appointed time?

8) What lesson can we learn from the Israelites at this given time?

9) Who is Jethro to Moses? Why do you think Moses sent Zipporah and their two
sons away?

10) Why do the people come to Moses to settle their disputes?

11) Jethro gives Moses “good counsel” and then tells him to make sure what he has told him is good with God. What are the lessons we can learn from Moses (the
seeker) and Jethro (the giver) of “good counsel”?

12) Why didn’t Moses think of using some of the people around him to assist him in counseling and judging the people?

13) How we are we, in many ways, like Moses in this situation?

14) God is preparing the people to come into His presence and receive His
instructions. What is consecration and how do you become consecrated?

15) In the Ten Commandments the #1 commandment is God is our only God and #2 is not to worship any other God. What are we doing wrong that breaks these 2
commandments on a daily bases?

16) Why do you think God has set up the Ten Commandments at this time for the Israelites?

17) How important are they for God’s people today? Why or Why not?

18) Why does God tell them specifically NOW how to build an altar and how to offer offerings?

19) Read Exodus 20:18-21. Can you imagine telling God we don’t want you to talk directly to us? Why do you think they were afraid? Do you think the previous instructions in Exodus 19:12-13 and 21, 22 and 25 made them more frightend?

20) Let’s talk about the Ten Commandments. Be ready to discuss their relevance for today and to you.

GAIL

May 15, 1954-October 19, 2005

Women In Touch Ministries is all about women helping women to be empowered through their personal relationship with Jesus Christ. If ever there was a woman who exemplified exactly that, it was Gail.

Ms. Gail was a woman of integrity, she was honest, loving and a woman of her word. She held you accountable for your words and your actions. She wasn’t about a lot of foolishness and unnecessary mess. Say what you mean, mean what you say, when you are right speak out and when your wrong say so, apologize, forgive, and move on. If you have a problem with someone or something, pray and ask God what you should do, and then do that. She didn’t believe in asking people for a lot of advice, when you could ask God and get the right answer. She believed God had a purpose and a plan when she was diagnosed with cancer. Her mission: seek God for his purpose, follow his plan, let her life be a witness to knowing God and make God known to others.

Gail said God wanted to use her so others can see a living testimony of no excuses: believe, trust, praise and glorify God in all you do, no matter what your condition of existence. Gail loved to laugh and have fun. She loved to eat and she loved to be with and around people. So when you combined praise and worship with food, fellowship and fun that would be her heaven on earth.

Gail had pain, suffering and changes in her body and mind because of the cancer and treatment. But she never let that keep her from serving or praising God with everything she had. She was always ready and willing to help whenever and wherever she could. And she was always ready for a road trip. If we couldn’t get our plans together fast enough she would make up her on travel plans. And if no one else could make plans to go well you know the song “I’ll go if I have to go by myself.”

Gail had so many children I have lost count. She raised more teenagers to adults and adults to be better adults than any of us could ever count. One of those children sent Rev. and Gail an anniversary card this past week to celebrate their 13th year of marriage. In her card she said that Rev. and Gail had taught her one more lesson about love. I really believe that we all could learn a lot from their relationship about real love. One, that Rev. and Gail both loved the Lord, two, that Jeffery loved him some Gail, and three, that Gail loved her some Jeffery. We witness this so much so that we often asked Rev. to give classes in being a good romantic, thoughtful, special dates remembering husband, affectionately named Husbandry 101. Rev. would just laugh it off and tell us we were funny. But later on, probably during a Women In Touch meeting Gail would tell us the secret to having such a wonderful, and romantic husband. If you want a loving, wonderfully, thoughtful, romantic husband, like Jeffery, you would have to be a wonderfully, romantic, giving wife, like Gail. And she would proceed to tell us in detail what to do. Usually the R-rated version. ( With fingers in ears : "2 much information, 2 much information" ). Gag, gag. We are women of God, and as women of God ….. we took notes, detailed notes and asked for graphics and diagrams. Gail loved to make us laugh, she enjoyed a good joke. We love you Gail.

Gail was talented and wrote many songs, poems, special writings for Dear Friends and Family members. We, Women In Touch Ministries, were honored by her love for us, individually and collectively, and she expressed this in the poem she wrote for us that is printed on the program. She also wrote our ministries theme song, Women In Touch. We, the WIT Wives, have learned many lessons through Wiley’s illness. The biggest one we learned is that we need to be together and together we do great, awesome, and miraculous things with God, for God.

Gail was an awesome teacher and as any good teacher will tell you at the end of a lesson there will be a test. Are you ready for your test?1)If you knew Gail raise your right hand (That’s the one that’s not your left hand ).2)If knowing Gail made a difference in your life raise your left hand. (That’s the one that’s not your right hand ).3)If you knew that Gail loved the Lord stand on your feet.4)If Gail’s life witnessed to you about the love of God and the importance of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ your Savior, shout halleluyah, shout glory.

Her mission: seek God for his purpose, follow his plan, let her life be a witness to knowing God and make God known to others. Gail mission accomplished. Amen. Amen. Amen.

WIT WIVES

Founded June 1998

But seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all his righteousness; and all of these things shall be added unto you. Mathew 6:33

Who We Are
We are a Christian based organization which strives to enrich, motivate, cultivate and elevate the lives of women through support and services to its members and communities.
WIT Ministries consist of two chapters. The charter Chapter , established in January 1998 and the sister chapter which was inaugurated in June 1999.
Our membership is diverse, transcending ethnic, denominational, and geographic boundaries, yet we are all members of one body in Christ. Each woman imparts her own gifts , which ultimately promote the goals and objectives of the fellowship.
1 Corinthians 12:4-6

Our Ministry Within
Twice each month, a sister opens her home so that we may feed ourselves physically, spiritually, and emotionally. We relish the opportunity to give and recieve the support we need to serve others and to do God's will.
Monthly Bible Study is the foundation of our ministry. We acknowledge that in order to touch anyone in the spirit, we must be rooted and grounded in the Word of God.
Our "Secret Pal" ministry also encourages us. About once a month, each sister secretly blesses another with a token of love , such as a card, a book , or flower.
1st Peter 4:8, 10

Our Extended Ministry
Believing that nothing which cannot be shared is worth having, WIT Ministries is committed to sharing our blessings with others.
The founding chapter is in partneship with a local battered and homeless women's shelter. We also offer an annual Christian Women Workshop for free to women and girls over the age of 9 and up.
The sister chapter donates its time and efforts to various community service projects.
One of our Charter members was a breast cancer survivor. By the move of the Holy Spirit, she worked to educate, support, and encourage others in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer.
Genesis 12:2
