God's Covenant (Exodus 21:1-24:18)

Accountability  (Exodus 21:1-22:15)
With humanity comes accountability.
If you are an employer, how are you treating your employees with equal dignity regardless of their pay level?
As an employee, how are you ensuring that you give your employer an honest day's work, every day?
Who have you injured and what type of restitution can you make for the injury?
How have you neglected someone else's property?  And what can you do to make things right?

Societal Impact (Exodus 22:16-23:19)
Holy living effects all areas of a believer's life.
What area of your life are you holding back from God?  Are you giving Him the first and best of everything?
How might you be guilty of conditional justice, giving so you can get, or only giving to those who can return the favor?
Does holiness characterize all of your life or only church and BSF?
How might you be allowing the corruption of our society to adversely effect you?  What are you going to do to change that?

Provision (Exodus 23:20-33)
God provides for His people throughout life.
How has provided for you as you obediently follow His will?
What blessing have you missed out on due to your disobedience to God?

Ratification (Exodus 24:1-18)
Christ is the only way to enter in and to obey God's covenant.
For you, is God's law merely written in stone or has He written it upon your heart?
What is your response in regard to God's new covenant in Christ's blood?
How well are you doing at keeping God's moral law out of love for Christ?
