Dr. Kevin Ueckert

Lead Pastor

THIS WEEK'S SCRIPTURE

Leviticus 8-10; Exodus 19:1-6


READ

Key Verses:

Leviticus 8-10; Exodus 19:1-6

 

 

 

CONSIDER

  1. Summarize Leviticus 8-10 together.  
  2. At the end of chapter 8/beginning of 9, the Israelites are given a list of things to do that culminates in them experiencing God’s presence.  If you were given the promise of God’s presence under the condition of completing certain requirements how would you have responded? 
  3. Do you tend to consider God's judgement and mercy as being mutually exclusive, or not occurring at the same time? 
  4. If you put yourself in Aaron’s place, after watching his two sons die, how might Aaron have felt toward God?  How might it have influenced Aaron’s role as a leader and priest? 
  5. What does this tragedy say about the precision and importance of the priestly role? 
    What does it tell you about the holiness of God?
  6. Do you apply this same holiness to God today in your own life? 

 

 

Next Steps:  

This week, ask the Lord to increase awareness of your personal pursuit of holiness  

 

PRAY

Next Steps:  

This week, make a conscious effort to 'wear out the path' to God's presence by spending intentional time in prayer, scripture reading, and worship. Reflect on the open doors Jesus has provided and offer yourself as a living sacrifice to experience His blessings.

They stayed at the Tabernacle for seven days to show they were ready to serve God.Leviticus 9: On the eighth day, Aaron and his sons gave offerings to God for themselves and the people. God sent fire to burn the offering, and the people saw His glory and worshiped Him with joy.Leviticus 10: Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, disobeyed God by offering the wrong kind of fire, and they died because they did not respect God’s instructions. God reminded Aaron and his family to honor Him and follow His commands carefully.
