Come Follow Me 2022 Old Testament May 30-June 5  

Many of us may roll our eyes or laugh at the Israelites for their problems with idolatry...and yet...the scriptures are written for our day. This implies that perhaps we’re struggling with our own forms of idolatry. There are two different types of idolatry that we can focus on throughout these chapters in Judges. By categorizing them, we are better able to see these types of idolatry in our own lives.

Come Follow Me 2022 Old Testament May 23-29 Joshua  

In this week’s chapters, Joshua takes over as prophet and leads the Israelites to prepare for battle. There is an incredible amount of story with a prostitute named Rahab, miracles and rivers, surgery outside of enemy cities, and untouched walls crumbling down. There is a parable here if we look closely and recognize the symbols.

Come Follow Me 2022 Old Testament May 16-22 Deuteronomy  

At one point in time, the Israelites came to Moses asking for water. Moses took it to the Lord and was commanded to speak to the rock. Instead of speaking to the rock, Moses hit the rock. Water still came out for the Israelites, but Moses was barred from ever entering the promised land with the rest of the Israelites. This was an obstinate consequence that the Lord followed through on; Moses “left” this world without ever walking into the promised land. Why did the Lord choose such a large consequence for a seemingly small infraction? What can we learn from His decision to bar Moses?

Come Follow Me 2022 Old Testament May 2-8 Exodus Leviticus  

The Day of Atonement is one of the most important festivals to the ancient Israelites. Everything is detailed and symbolic. Everything is meant to point to Christ. There are two goats as part of the ritual, one goat is sacrificed to pay for the sins of the people and the second goat has the sins of Israel placed upon it before it is released into the wilderness to take away the sins of the people. Why are there two goats? And what does the combination of these two goats teach us about the atonement?

Come Follow Me 2022 Old Testament April 25-May 1 Exodus  

The Old Testament institute manual teaches us that the Law of Moses can be understood through a testimony of Jesus Christ. As I studied this week, I learned that this principle extends beyond symbolism and helps us to understand the more "unfriendly" parts of the Law of Moses, and of life itself.
