Summary: Continuing our series in the book of Numbers. When Israel began to move away from Sinai, they immediately began to complain on their journey. We see in these chapters Israel complaining because of the adversity of being in the wilderness, the lack of variety with food and then we see Moses’ siblings complaining against him as well. In this lesson, we see how God responded to these complaints and what we can learn from the solutions He provided.

Summary: Continuing the series in Acts 3-7. In Acts 5:17-42, we see the apostles arrested twice more by the Jewish Council. In this lesson, we consider how the apostles’ example of courage teaches us about the kind of certainty we can also have in Jesus, and what kind of impact Jesus will have on our lives when we see Him as the apostles did.

Summary: Continuing the series in Acts 3-7. In Acts 4:32-5:16, we see various qualities that God was cultivating in the community of those who had believed in Jesus. In this lesson, we see how God was causing both abundant grace and fear to thrive in the church. Then, we consider how the fear caused by God’s judgment aided the progress of the gospel, rather than hindering it - and how important that is in our work together as a local church.

Summary: Continuing the series in Acts 3-7. In Acts 4:1-31, Peter and John are arrested and questioned by the Council in Jerusalem. In this lesson, we consider how it was the gospel’s power that inspired the boldness that Peter and John demonstrated before the council, and how we can take practical steps to strive to follow their example.

Summary: Continuing our series in the book of Numbers. In Numbers 5-9, God gives a final series of instructions to the people through Moses before leaving Sinai. In this lesson, we consider how these instructions emphasize the importance of each individual learning the value of holiness. We consider how the failure to value holiness on an individual level leads to greater failures in Israel on a national level. Then, we consider how these lessons can be applied for us as being individually a part of a larger body within Christ’s church.

Summary: This is the first lesson of a mini-series through Acts chapters 3-7. In these chapters, we see the beginning of the spread of the gospel in the city of Jerusalem and the power of the gospel being demonstrated in those who first believed. In chapter 3, Peter heals a lame man at the temple and preaches his second gospel sermon emphasizing God’s power to restore any who repent. In this lesson, we consider how the miracle and Peter’s message both illustrate the reality that God raised up Jesus for us as well, to give us hope that we can be saved & restored from sin as well.

Summary: Local churches commonly ignore God’s instructions for how a local church’s money ought to be handled. In this lesson, we first consider Jesus’ example in driving out people who turned the temple into a place of business, and then how His example equips us to see the importance of knowing and following God’s instructions for how a local church is to collect for and use its treasury.

Summary: In 1 Kings 13, God calls a young prophet of Judah to speak against king Jeroboam and the idols he built in Israel. After doing as God commanded with Jeroboam, as the young prophet is going back to Judah, an older prophet finds him, deceives him and witnesses the consequences of his disobedience. In this lesson, we consider how these events teach us the importance of what we believe and the importance of being bold and merciful in teaching others.

Summary: The Tabernacle was a tent-like structure that was created as a representation of God’s presence among His people. But what did the Tabernacle look like and what can we learn from its design? In this lesson, we study God’s design for the Tabernacle’s structure in Exodus 26, and how its design reflects God’s design for the church’s structure today.
