The sermon text will be Genesis 18:22-33. We will be considering the question Abraham asked God, “Will you indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked?”
1. Why did Abraham ask this question? What was his concern?
2. Why was God going to bring judgment upon Sodom and Gomorrah?
3. Was it appropriate for Abraham to continue to inquire of God how many righteous people were necessary for Him to spare destroying Sodom and Gomorrah? Explain your answer.
4. Do you share any of the same concerns that Abraham did? Is there any reason to believe that the answers God gave to Abraham’s questions are the same answers He gives to us today?
5. Who did God spare from the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah? Were they all righteous? How did He spare them? Does this provide any comfort for you?
