Exodus 2 - Job 19 - Luke 5 - 1 Corinthians 6

Exodus 2
- A man of Levi married a Levite woman and they had a son.
- The woman hid the baby after 3 months in a basket along the river.
- Did Moses have an older sister who was watching him?
- Pharaoh's daughter came down to the river, found the baby, and took pity on him.
- Moses' sister recommended she find a nurse for the baby.
- The sister called Moses' real mother to nurse the baby, so his mother was paid to raise her son.
- How old was Moses when he finally went to live with Pharaoh's daughter?
- Moses saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew and Moses killed the Egyptian and hid him in the bushes.
- How did Moses know he was a Hebrew and why would he side with the Hebrews and not the Egyptians?
- Why would Pharaoh want to kill Moses who was like his son?
- Moses saved Reuel's 7 daughters from some rogue shepherds and went to live with them.
- Moses was given Zipporah as his wife.
- Why was Moses referred to by the daughters as an Egyptian and not as a Hebrew?
- She bore Moses a son named Gershom.
- The Pharaoh died and the people cried out to God for help.
- Why didn't they cry out during the previous Pharaoh's reign?
- What did God know?

Job 19
- Job asks his friends why they are against him.
- Job says that even if he has erred it is against himself.
- He asks them not to heap more upon him because he is already forgotten my friends and family and children are scared of him.
- Job still sees God as against him, but wants his friends to be an encouragement to him not an increased burden. Even his wife is far from him.
- Job wishes that his story could be written down.
- What does Job mean by "my Redeemer lives"?
- Job knows that once he dies he will see God!
- Job is asking his friends to stop trying to interrogate him to see what he has done wrong, because he hasn't sinned, and he adds a semi curse that God's wrath be on them for judging him.

Luke 5
- Jesus went out in Simon Peter's boat and was preaching to the people.
- Jesus told Peter to take his boat into deeper water and let down his nets.
- Peter had fished all night with no fish, but he obeyed Jesus' instructions.
- They pulled up the nets that were so full with fish that they filled two boats which almost sank.
- Jesus performed a miracle which would be obvious to the fishermen there.
- Upon seeing all the fish, Simon fell at Jesus' feet and told Him to depart because Peter was a sinner.
- Jesus said that Peter would be a fisher of men.
- James and John were also there and joined Jesus on the spot after seeing the fishing miracle.
- These three left everything and followed Jesus
- Why isn't Peter's brother Andrew mentioned here?
- Jesus healed a man with leprosy who believed Jesus could heal him.
- Jesus did heal him and told him to tell no one except the priest, as the OT commanded.
- As Jesus' popularity and fame grew He continued to withdraw to pray.
- There was a lame man, who Jesus forgave of his sins.
- The Pharisees rebuked Him for blasphemy, but to dispel their rebukes he healed the man and he walked. This showed the Pharisees that Jesus had authority to heal AND forgive sins.
- They were in awe at this and glorified God after this miracle.
- Jesus called Levi (Matthew) the tax collector and ate with him.
- The Pharisees asked why Jesus ate with sinners, and Jesus responded that He had come to save sinners not the righteous.
- The Pharisees asked Jesus why His disciples ate and drank but John's disciples did not. Jesus told them that they would once He, the bridegroom, had left them.

1 Corinthians 6
- Paul tells the Corinthians that they are to be judges by saints not the world.
- What does Paul mean that we are to judge angels?
- Doesn't this again contradict Paul's statement not to judge anyone?
- Paul is asking them why they go to worldly courts and not just settle the disputes among their "brothers".
- Paul asks why they have grievances against one another at all.
- Does Paul simply want us to overlook all offenses against us?
- Paul reminds them of the various sins they once walked in, but also reminds them that they were washed, sanctified, and justified by Christ Jesus.
- Why does Paul mean when he states, "“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be enslaved by anything."?
- We will be raised as Christ was raised.
- Paul warns them against sexual immorality and interacting with prostitutes, which Paul says is one of the greatest sins because it is the one sin that takes place inside the body, not outside the body.
- Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and that it was bought with a price (Jesus' death on the cross)
- Paul tells them to glorify God with their bodies because of this fact.
