How do these people interact with God? How faithful are they to God\u2019s will?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Joshua: Joshua, Rahab<\/li>\n<li>Judges: Deborah, Gideon, Samson<\/li>\n<li>Ruth: Ruth, Naomi, Boaz<\/li>\n<li>1 Samuel: Samuel, Saul, David<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Books You\u2019ll Encourter This Week:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Joshua Overview: <\/strong>Moses\u2019 former assistant becomes leader of the nation of Israel. The book celebrates the many victories that God brings to the Israelites under Joshua\u2019s leadership. At the same time, the failure of the people to follow completely God\u2019s plans plants the seeds for future failure.\u00a0 <em>KEY TEACHINGS:<\/em> <em>God kept his promise, giving the land he had\u00a0 promised to Abraham many centuries earlier.\u00a0\u00a0 God is the one who brings victory; there is no foe that can withstand him.\u00a0 God expects obedience.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Judges Overview:<\/strong> this book clearly delineates the impact of leaders who follow God from those who do not.\u00a0 Some of the favorite Biblical personalities from children\u2019s Sunday School are found here \u2013 Deborah, Gideon and Samson.\u00a0 <em>Key Teachings:<\/em> <em>God is patient, just and merciful.\u00a0 God is able to accomplish his plan even through flawed individuals. God held the Israelites accountable to his expectations of them.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ruth Overview:<\/strong> Ruth\u2019s story of faithfulness is remarkable in its own right, made more so considering she was from Moab, a nation considerd an enemy of Israel. Ruth and Boaz are ancestors of Christ.\u00a0 <em>Key Teachings:<\/em> <em>God remained faithful to his people even when the times were characterized by unfaithfulness.\u00a0 God provides for those who are faithful.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>1 Samuel Overview:<\/strong> Samuel is not only a priest, prophet and judge, but a kingmaker. At God\u2019s behest, Samuel anoints Saul the first king of Israel after the people call for a king.\u00a0 God later directs Samuel to anoint Saul\u2019s successor, David, which sets up a series of conflicts between Saul and David.\u00a0 <em>Key Teachings:<\/em> <em>God provided a king for his people.\u00a0 God Reigns!\u00a0 God\u2019s power and sovereignty are demonstrated through his king.\u00a0 God will punish even his chosen ones when they disobey.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Think about it:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cA young man asked God how long a million years was to him. God replied, it\u2019s like a single second in your time. Then the young man asked God what a million dollars was to him. God replied, it\u2019s like a single penny to you.\u00a0 Then the young man asked God, Could I have one of your pennies? God smile and replied, sure\u2026give me one second.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>God perceives time differently than we do. God gives us the same amount of time and the question isn\u2019t if we have the time to read 12 pages a day, it is if we choose to.\u00a0 How are we choosing to use our time?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Questions for discussion:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0 Are you reading the Bible instead of other things in your life or in addition to?<\/p>\n<p>2.\u00a0 If you are still struggling with your reading, what activites can you eliminate? Where can you squeeze in more reading?<\/p>\n<p>3.\u00a0 What advice would you give to others who are just beginning this journey or are struggling to keep up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Digging In:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>4.\u00a0 Refer to Leviticus and list the 5 main sacrifices<\/p>\n<p>5. God lays out the elements and purposes of these offerings with some specificity. Is there too much detail here? What does this suggest about God\u2019s involvement with his people\u2019s lives?<\/p>\n<p>6. What happens to Aaron\u2019s sons in Leviticus 10: 1-2? What does this tell us about how God expectus us to interact with Him?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Applying it:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>7.\u00a0 In Numbers we find God\u2019s people wandering in the wilderness for several decades after failing to believe God would lead them to victory.\u00a0 Have you ever experienced a similar delay due to fear or similar lack of belief?
