Release Date: 02/10/2026
Key Chapters of the Bible
As we continue to make sense of the Sacrificial system of the Book of Leviticus, today we turn to Leviticus 3 to unpack the idea of Peace Offerings and we'll see that these are extremely relevant to our lives today. Peace offerings point us to the fellowship we have with God once atonement and consecration has occurred, and although we may not still offer these sacrifices to the Lord, these still teach us spiritual principles in that go into walking in peace with God. Join us! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. What was the “nutshell” description of a peace offering that was...

The Levitical System of Offerings doesn't have to be confusing or complex; and today, as we study Leviticus 2 and grain offerings, we see that these simple offerings of "thanks" are directly relevant to our lives today. Join us in unpacking these important truths! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. In a general sense, what was the purpose of a grain offering? What was the worshipper “saying” to God? 2. According to Numbers 28:5, how often were the priests to offer a grain offering to the Lord? What does this tell us about the frequency of the praise we offer...

Leviticus is one of the most daunting books in the Bible, but today we're going to start to unlock the gems that it has to offer... starting with the holy sacrifices of the burnt offering and what it means to be fully consecrated to the Lord. Join us as we see just how important and relevant this book is to our lives in Christ today. DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. From this opening study of the book of Leviticus, would you describe it as a “worship manual”? Why or why not? 2. The book of Leviticus derives its name from the Levites. Who were the...

It's common for us to hear people say things like, "Well, MY God isn't like that!" and what they mean is that they don't like the God of the Bible, and have tried to imagine God being more the way they'd like. That's dangerous and today we'll see it's also not new. So, join us in our study of Exodus 32 as we continue to dig into the powerful and relevant truths of God's Word. DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. If a person hears the Bible’s teaching about God, and says something like, “Oh, my god isn’t like that!” How might that be an indication that that person is...

Being "ransomed by the Lord" is a key truth we need to know and understand. Likewise, we need to understand why we need to be gathering with God's people in prayer. For that matter, we need to have a handle on everything in Exodus 30, so join us in another study in the Key Chapters of the Bible! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. Quick review… what was the dimensions of the Tabernacle? How many rooms did it have? What were the rooms called? 2. If you walked into the Tabernacle, you’d see three pieces of furniture. To the left was the golden lamp that...

Exodus 29 may not make it to many people's list of "Favorite Chapters" and yet it's a key chapter because it covers the important biblical principle of consecration to the Lord. It also brings us several offerings that we see throughout the rest of God's Word. So, join us in another study as we go through God's Word one key chapter at a time. DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. In the podcast, what definition (or principle) was given for the idea “consecration” in the book of Exodus? How does the definition of “consecration” help us understand what it means...

As we've been studying the Tabernacle, we're seeing just how amazing this was and how it pointed to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Today, in our study of Exodus 27 & 28, we'll even see how these details show us the kind of attitude we should have when we approach our Lord. So, join us in another rich study in God's Word! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. What was the size of the Tabernacle complex that is given in verses 11 & 12? This is smaller than a football field. Are you surprised by this? 2. According to verse 1, what was the first thing you’d come...

As we continue in our study of the Tabernacle, today in Exodus 26, we find that the details of this passage are not that daunting, in fact, they're even inspiring as we see that the Lord seeks our simple worship and fellowship; rather than some grand, complex form of worship. Join us as we talk about a place and a people that honor the Lord. DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. What were the dimensions of the Tabernacle? What are some things that the podcast compared these dimensions too? What does this tell us about what should be the focus of worship? If we need a...

Thanks to the movie, The Raiders of the Lost Ark, most people have heard of the Ark of the Covenant, and yet do we understand its central role in Old Testament worship? Today, we'll unpack Exodus 25 teachings on the tabernacle and the ark, the showbread and the lampstand. Join us for this important study on these important topics! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. Verse 9 contains the first time the term “tabernacle” is used. When not being used of the official tabernacle, how also could this word be used? What did the podcast explain is the idea behind the term...

Sometimes crucial passages seem more like walking on the moon, than familiar territory. Exodus 24 is one of those chapters. We might be tempted to breeze through this passage... and yet, today we're going to see that it actually is incredibly important to our understanding of the crucial principle of what it means to be sprinkled with the blood of the covenant... which ultimately will help us understand how Christ's blood sprinkles us today. DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. The podcast explained that this section of scripture in Exodus 19 to 24 is a key aspect of Israel’s...

DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS:
1. What was the “nutshell” description of a peace offering that was given in the podcast?
2. The word “peace” was based on the Hebrew word “Shalom”. Shalom meant wholeness, completeness and health. How is that a helpful understanding of the peace with now have with God?
3. The podcast mentioned several formal times when “Peace Offerings” were offered to the Lord (Feast of Weeks, the Nazarite Vow, the installation of priests). How did these events demonstrate the gratitude of God’s people, or the fellowship they had with the Lord, or the desire to seek Him?
4. Verse 1 doesn’t specify what kind of animal was to be offered, nor what gender it was to be, but it does require something for this animal? What was required and what did this reflect in the heart of the worshipper?
5. What were some of the reasons given in the podcast for the specificity of these sacrifices?
6. When you think about how the animal innards went to God and the meat went to the worshipper, how does this reflect the Lord’s graciousness towards us?
7. Verse 5 tells us that the “Peace Offering” was to be “on top of” the other offerings (ESV/NIV). How does this help us understand the stages of worship and the subsequent peace the worshipper had with God?
8. How does Romans 5:1-2 help us understand the peace with have with God through Jesus? In what ways was Jesus an offering for us?
9. The podcast described the lengthy process that would go into the Old Testament process of reestablishing peace with God. How would this have given the worshiper time to reflect on their situation with the Lord? How can we incorporate a similar kind of contemplation into our relationship with God?
