It's Resurrection Sunday...The Lord is risen, we are redeemed!
Old Testament
1. Rules made about women who inherit property.
- Thus ends the Book of Numbers. We begin a new book, Deuteronomy.
2. Deuteronomy
- One of the most significant of the Old Testament.
- Often quoted by Jesus. This book is the source of all Jesus' quotes when He was tempted by Satan in the wilderness.
- "Deutero-nomy" means "second law." However, this is not just a re-hashing of the Law given at Sinai, but also a commentary on the Law's deeper meanings. As we read Deuteronomy we sense the deep love that underlies God's gift of Law- and the love for God that is necessary if any person is to be obedient to Him.
3. First we have lessons in relationships
4. God's promises are sure (1:6-8)
- He speaks of His promises not as something that He will do, but as something He has already done. We can apply this in our own lives. When we find God's promises in the Bible, we can claim them with confidence.
5. Be fearless and fair (1:9-18)
- When the burden of leadership was too great for Moses to carry alone, he appointed wise and respected men. in the community to share his ministry.
- Moses laid down basic principles which apply in any leadership role.
- Leaders are not to be influenced by fear of what others think, or by the position held by any man or woman. Each person is to be valued alike; each is to be heard.
- God's will is to be the ultimate consideration in how the leader leads and what he does, for God is the ultimate Judge.
6. Face reality (1:19-25)
- Here Moses explained something of his motives. He wanted to simply point to the land, and say,"Go!" But the people wanted to send spies ahead to bring back a report. Moses did not stop to ask God. He simply liked the idea and acted on it.
- Moses two warning are warnings for us today: "do not be afraid" and "do not be discouraged."
7. Fear is an enemy of faith (1:26-46)
- The problem with Israel was that despite all the evidence of God's care, they still would not trust Him.
- The lesson for us? The memory of God's work in our lives is to quiet our fears, and restore our trust.
New Testament
8. Jesus as Lord
- Jesus had demonstrated clearly who He is. How did those around Him respond?
- Many hesitated.
- Others criticized.
- Some hated.
Psalm
9. "You have tested us, O God; you have purified us like silver. "
10. " You captured us in your net and laid the burden of slavery on our backs."
11. "If I had not confessed the sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. But God did listen! He paid attention to my prayer."
Proverbs
12. "The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed."

Numbers 11:24-13:33; Mark 14:22-52; Psalm 52:1-9; Proverbs 11:1-3 (New Living Translation)
Old Testament
1.When Israel moved away from Sinai after having been camped so long three incidents happened that were truly "example" for Israel. Each incident involved the rejection of God and each was an occasion of immediate judgement.
- As God's people they had to respond to Him with trusting obedience. Any failure to respond led to tragic consequences.
2.Rejection of God's guidance.
- It only took 3 days of traveling in the desert for the Israelites to revert to a pattern they had established before their arrival at Sinai. Forgetting all that God had done for them, they let discomfort dominated their thinking...and control their actions. They complained about their hardship in "the hearing of the Lord."
- In their complaining they rejected His wisdom, and ignored the supernatural provision of the fiery-cloud pillar that directed their every move.
- God immediately acted-in judgement. Fire destroyed some of the outlying parts of the camp. In a panic, the people turned to Moses, who prayed, and the fire was controlled.
3. Rejection of God's provision.
- Shortly after this the people begin to complain about their diet, and were ready to trade their freedom for the meat and vegetables they had in Egypt.
- Had they forgotten they had been slaves?
- The manna that God provided was despised.
- Moses, now gets angry with the people as well. God responded to Moses' need by distributing the leadership responsibility and gift to 70 of the elders.
- God responded to the people. God responded by bringing a great flock of quail. But when the people began to eat, a great plague struck the camp. Thousands of the murmurers dies. The people who had rejected God and His provision bore the dreadful consequences of their choice. "So that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah (which means “graves of gluttony.”
4. Rejection of God's appointed.
- This time Miriam and Aaron, Moses sister and brother, resented the special role Moses was given by God. So they challenge Moses' authority.
- God responded angrily, pointing out the special relationship He Himself had chosen to have with Moses.
- In judgement, Miriam is struck with leprosy, and put out of the camp for seven days. Afterward she is healed in answer to Moses' prayer. Everyone was forced to wait for Miriam for those seven days.
- What's the real sin here?- PRIDE.
5. Whay is God doing this, and what's the point?
- The people, Israel, are about to make some very important decisions about their relation ship with God. These lesons are to teach them about taking responsibilty for their actions and decisions
6. Twelve scouts explore Canaan.
- When they arrive at the borders of Palestine, Moses sent 12 men out in pairs to spy the land. They were to evaluate the strength of the peoples, their numbers, and whether the land was rich or poor.
- Only two, Caleb and Joshua, encouraged the people to trust God.
- They needed to learn that God's presence, rather than their circumstances should be given priority.
New Testament
7. The Passover meal
8. Peter's denial predicted
9. Gethsemane
10. Jesus arrested
Psalm
11. "I will always trust in God’s unfailing love."
Proverbs
12. "Pride leads to disgrace"
- Look back at the story of Miriam.
13. "...but with humility comes wisdom."
14. "Honesty guides good people"

Leviticus 1-3:17; Mark 1:29-2:12; Psalm 35:17-28; Proverbs 9:13-18 (New Living Translation)
Old Testament
1. We begin Leviticus today.In Greek this means "law". It is the third book of the Hebrew Bible, of the Old Testament, and of the Torah (five books of Moses).
2. Overview :
- The main points of the book are concerned with legal rules, and priestly ritual.
- The first 16 chapters and the last chapter describe the Priestly Code, detailing ritual cleanliness, sin-offerings, and the Day of Atonement, including Chapter 12 which mandates male circumcision.
- Chapters 17-26 describe the holiness code, including the injunction in chapter 19 to love one's neighbor as oneself.
- Orthodox Jews believe that this entire book is the word of God, dictated by God to Moses on Mount Sinai.
3. Do we (Gentiles, non-Jews)live under the law?
- Most Christians believe that Leviticus is the word of God, but generally do not consider themselves to be bound by all the laws prescribed by the text, due to the implied in some passages of the New Testament, notably the letters of Paul. Most Christians consider 1 Corinthians 10:23-26, in which Paul directs followers to "eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience", to exempt them from following the dietary laws set forth in Leviticus.
- The word used for this is antinomianism. This comes from 2 Greek words, "anti" meaning against and "nomos" meaning law.
- When Jesus Christ died on the cross, He fulfilled the Old Testament Law (Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:23-25; Ephesians 2:15). but I beleive it is "unbiblical" (if there is such a word) to think that there is no moral law God expects Christians to obey.
- The Apostle Paul dealt with this issue again in Romans 6:1-2, “What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?” The most frequent attack on the doctrine of salvation by grace alone is that it encourages sin. People may wonder, “If I am saved by grace and all my sins are forgiven, why not sin all I want?” That thinking is not the result of true conversion because true conversion yields a greater desire to obey, not a lesser one. God’s desire—and our desire when we are re-born by His Spirit—is that we strive to not sin, out of gratitude for His grace and forgiveness. God has given us His infinitely gracious gift in salvation through Jesus (John 3:16; Romans 5:8). Our response is to be a life consecrated to Him (Romans 12:1-2) out of love, worship, and gratitude for what He has done for us.
- There is a moral law which God expects us to obey. 1 John 5:3 tells us, “This is love for God: to obey His commands. And His commands are not burdensome.” What is this law God expects us to obey? It is the law of Christ – “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments” (Matthew 22:37-40).
- So, no, we are not under the Old Testament Law. Yes, we are under the law of Christ. The law of Christ is not an extensive list of legal codes. It is a law of love. If we love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, we will do nothing to displease Him. If we love our neighbors as ourselves, we will do nothing to harm them. Obeying the law of Christ is not a requirement to earn or maintain salvation. The law of Christ is what God expects of a Christian.
- God expects us to live a life of morality, integrity, and love. Jesus Christ freed us from the burdensome commands of the Old Testament Law, but that is not a license to sin, but rather a covenant of grace. We are to strive to overcome sin and cultivate righteousness, depending on the Holy Spirit to help us. The fact that we are graciously freed from the demands of the Old Testament Law should result in us living our lives in obedience to the law of Christ. 1 John 2:3-6 declares, “We know that we have come to know Him if we obey His commands. The man who says, ‘I know Him,’ but does not do what He commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys His word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in Him: Whoever claims to live in Him must walk as Jesus did.”
- Sorry, got a little carried away. But, again I think these are important concepts for Christians, and even non-Christians to understand. Anyway, back to the text...
4. Offerings:
- Burnt offerings given as free will. Lambs, goats, birs (trutle doves and pigeons.
- Grain offerings- flour, unleven (no yeast) bread and cakes; salt (of the covenant).
- First fruits.
- Sacrifice, peace offerings.
- Eat no fat or blood.
New Testament
5. Jesus heals Simon's mother-in-law. This brings throngs of people needing to be healed to Him. He healed many and casted out demons. I think the demons were not allowed to speak, because they did recognize Him and would call Him by name. He wanted people then, as now, to beleive based on there faith, not by what they could see with their eyes or touch.
6. He withdraws to pray in isolation.
7. He tells the disciples they must move on...let's stay focused, and get on with the mission..“We must go on to other towns as well, and I will preach to them, too. That is why I came.”
8. He heals the leper. The man with leprosy asks if Jesus is willing to heal him. Remember, lepers are considered by people to be "unclean" and should not be touched. He instructs him to tell no one. First go to be examined by the priests...certified as "clean." Don't forget to take the appropriate sacrifices as dictated by the law. But, of course he didn't do that, and that brought more crowds to Jesus for healing.
9. Jesus heals the paralytic. This story is a true testament to friendship. They could not come through the. They cared so much about their friends healing that they hauled him up to the roof, dismantle the roof of the house so that he can reach the teacher and be healed.
10. Jesus is accused of blasphemy as He tells the man that his sins are forgiven, instead of take up your bed and walk...so He says this too. The crowed is amazed.
Psalm
Proverbs
11. Folly...the way to death.

Exodus 5:22-7:25; Matthew 18:21-19:12; Psalm 23:1-6; Proverbs 5:22-23 (New Living Translation)
Old Testament text
1. Moses returns to God complaining that his mission was not a success. Or is his question really, "What other methods should I use to get this done?"
2.The vindication of God's name is the main theme of the plagues.
3. Moses is now to demand unconditional release, not just a 3 day religious holiday.
4. God begins His reply to Moses by identifying Himself with the name that conveys His full power...Yahweh. To know that He is Yahweh means to experience or witness His power.
5. Yahweh is the same God who, under the name of El Shaddai, made a covenant with Israel's ancestors, and He now intends to fulfill that covenant.
6. "I will take you to be My people, and I will be your God. This refers to the covenant that will be established at Mount Sinai. This speaks to the intended intimate relationship between God and Israel...."And you shall know that I, the Lord, am your God."
7. The pedigree of Moses and Aaron. This begins with the descendant's of Jacob's first two sons, but only for the sake of showing the place of his third son, Levi, the ancestor of Moses and Aaron. Levi's descendants are listed in detail, particularly Aaron and his immediate successors as high priest. The rest are omitted.
8. Troop by troop. The Israelites would not leave Egypt as fleeing slaves but as an army marching to the promised land in military formation.
9. "The Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord." God's "signs and marvels" will answer Pharaoh's contemptuous declaration that he "does not know the Lord."
10 Since Pharaoh's magicians are able to duplicate the first marvel, he is unimpressed. The magicians use "their spells", conventional magic; while Aaron works silently, relying not on his own power, but on the power of the Lord. The Lord's superior power is demonstrated when Aaron's serpent overcomes those of the magicians.
11. The first of 10 plagues. The plague of blood.
- Pharaoh is told what the coming events will show. The Nile river is affected by this plague. The Nile river is the deified source of Egypt's life. The magicians again can duplicate this...so the Pharaoh is once again unimpressed.
12. What is our lesson as we continue with the Pharaoh? The kingdom of Yahweh is invading the kingdom of the Pharaoh. One God invading the territory of another "god." The Pharaoh is in control, and will not relinquish that control without a fight. Isn't that how we are as we struggle to keep our hands on the controls, rather than letting God...
New Testament text
13. Parable of the unforgiving debtor
- We are seen as servants. Christ, our King has forgiven us a great debt. As servants to such a loving and patient King, we are now called on to have patience and compassion with our fellow believers. Failure to have such patience and to extend such forgiveness will cut us off from our experience of God's forgiveness. This is not because God is unwilling to forgive. It is because forgiveness is like a coin. It has two sides...you cannot have the "heads" (receive forgiveness) without the "tails" (extend forgiveness).
-Faith does not give us an elevated status. We are servants, subject to the will of God. And, we are to treat our fellow servants as God treats us.
14. The Pharisees, followers of the way of the Law, approach Jesus about divorce. The Pharisees, like the disciples, missed the point. Jesus had been teaching about greatness, and had shown that true greatness is to restore the straying lamb, to exercise patience, and to be ever-ready to forgive.
Psalm 23
15. The psalmist here claims relation to God, as his shepherd. He recounts the kind things God has done for him as his shepherd.
Proverbs
16. Your own sin will bind you over to the judgment of God; there is no need for prison or chains...
