Week of April 20

Discussion Thread is found in Bible Study: Leviticus

Monday
Reading: Leviticus 1
Optional Group Thoughts and Discussion:
What analogy does this show to Jesus and His sacrifice? What analogy do you see in how this relate to how we are forgiven from sins?
What is our offering to God? What do these verses tell us about what the characteristics of our offering should be?

Tuesday
Reading: Leviticus 2
Optional Group Thoughts and Discussion:
Key Verse: 1
Frankincense was an aromatic gum resin that created a sweet smell when burned before God. Some commentators say it was symbolic of prayer. So the priest interceded for the people to raise their prays to God. How does this relate to the gifts given to Christ at His birth?
 
Key Verse: 4
The leaven symbolizes sin. The offering had to be unleaven. The salt symbolizes covenant and commitment. What does this make us think about in relation to the state our heart should be in when we come before God? See Psalm 51:16-17 for thoughts on this.

Wednesday
Reading: Leviticus 3
Optional Group Thoughts and Discussion:
The peace offering symbolized peace and fellowship between the true worshiper and God. We see in the New Testament shared meals with the Lord’s supper and the breaking of bread in communion.

Thursday
Reading: Leviticus 4

Optional GMG Discussion Question:
God addresses the issue of sin, which the people were not aware of at the time it occurred. When their sin became known to them, they had to offer a sin offering. When you sin unknowingly how do you ensure you take time to confess it to God once it’s brought to light?

Friday
Reading: Leviticus 5

Optional GMG Discussion Question:
God is very orderly and in Leviticus, we see that He required offerings to be specific to the occasion and the sacrificial steps to be in order. While we are not required to offer sacrifices anymore, we do need to follow God’s directions for our lives in Christ. How do you need to take steps to ensure you’re living a strong life in Christ by following God’s directions in the New Testament?
