April 29 - May 5
Exodus 35 - 40; Leviticus 1
Focus: Serving God Willfully
Questions:
1. The people of Israel were asked to voluntarily give from their resources for the construction of the tabernacle. They gave so much that Moses had to command them to stop. Do you freely give your efforts and resources to God for His work?
2. When the tabernacle was completed, God’s presence entered and filled the holy place. Is the presence of God with you in the works you are seeking to do for Him?
​
May 6 - 12
Leviticus 2 - 8
Focus: Sacrifice
Questions:
1. The people of Israel were given specific instructions on what sacrifices to make and how to make them. There various categories mentioned in these chapters: burnt, grain, peace, sin, and guilt. What were each of these sacrifice categories for? What kinds of sins or rituals were they used for?
2. The priests were responsible for conducting the sacrifices of Israel. What responsibility spiritually do you have to those around you? (Ex. Think about your role in terms of relationships).

May 13 - 19
Leviticus 9 - 15
Focus: Proper Worship
Questions:
1. Nadab and Abihu offered a strange incense offering to God that He did not ask for, nor did He instruct them to do so. God saw their offering as detestable and they treated God as unholy. Is there anything you do that treats God as unholy?
2. Leviticus chapter 11 lists all the animals that are considered not edible by the command of God. Since we obey God with all that we are, including our bodies, we should also treat God’s commands about what we eat seriously. Mankind’s inability to do so in the past caused them to eat the forbidden fruit in Eden. What makes it difficult to follow these commands although God asks for us to follow them?
May 20 - 26
Leviticus 16 - 22
Focus: God and the World
Questions:
1. The people of Canaan conducted the worst of sins against God and each other. Included in their sins were all kinds of perverse sexual relations. God did not want His people to be defiled by sins He saw from the nations. What kinds of sins in our society do you see being allowed and even made lawful that God clearly forbids?
2. The priests are held to strict standards and the sacrifices of Israel were to be flawless so as to treat God as holy. In contemporary society, many believe that the end justifies the means, but with God it is not so. How we do things for God and how we live our lives is just as important as His goal for us – to serve Him. Are you serving God in the same way the world serves themselves?
