1. What benefits are there of reading verses in different translations?
2. How are these words (that we studied tonight) encouraging to someone going through trials, tests, or persecution?
3. How does the concept of paying a ransom demand help us understand redemption?
4. How do we express appreciation for the extreme price Jesus paid to free us from sin?
5. How do we relate to being slaves?
6. How do you imagine the time before the foundation of the world?
7. How can there be a time “before time began”?
8. How well thought out is the plan of God? How does it make you feel to know YOU are part of God’s plan?
