I actually really tried hard this week to strive for brevity, which apparently is NOT my gift in Sunday School Prep… so we’ll see how I do! Intro Popping right out of our passage last week, immediately following Jesus’ temptation, is where we find ourselves. Jesus learns that John the Baptist had been taken into…

Consider where we have been in the last year or so. We studied Exodus, into Leviticus. Where God freed His people from bondage, and helped them understand what it meant to live in His Kingdom, as a holy and set apart people. Then we went to 1/2 Peter, where so poetically and directly, we see…

I can’t begin to tell you how much I have loved Deuteronomy this last quarter. I’ve read it at least a dozen times before, but slowing down, and seeing how the nuance and details fit into the larger narrative of Scripture is amazing, and a gift to us. We’re in Deut. 30 this week, nearing…

FIRST THING FIRST — go read Deuteronomy 28 –> Deut. 28 Well this week we quick pop all the way to Deuteronomy 28, which of course, is an important chapter of Scripture (as all the inspired Word is indeed). We get to see a big contrast, between the promise of blessing, and the loathsome consequence…

Deuteronomy 12 starts with familiar reminders for certain. In so many ways, it is predictable what we will find. We of course find encouragement to live in the land, remove the evil and idols of the Canaanites, and remain faithful to Yahweh. Nevertheless, it’s important to rehash — but there are some new instructions. One…

Read it first –> Deuteronomy 6 NASB Let me just start with saying this, for at least 20 years, this has been one of my favorite chapters in the Bible. I read it in the midst of a Bible read-through, and it captured me. It’s held on to my heart and imagination for a long…

Side-note before we begin — I don’t know if this would ever be of interest to you, dear reader — but we record all these Sunday School Lessons, and this link below takes you to the recording of this morning’s lesson. I haven’t listened, I have no idea of the quality — but here it…

Last week’s Sunday School lesson covered Numbers 22, when Balaam is confronted by the Angel of the Lord for his selfish motives, and his sweet donkey is used to awaken him to his blindness. Naturally, the lesson plan hops all the way over to Numbers 33 for this week… so we have much content to…

Last week, we were in Chapter 20, confronted with the distrust of the Hebrews, and the exasperation of Moses. We can certainly, and sadly relate to both of those sinful paths. Nevertheless, as we pick up this week in Numbers 22, it’s helpful as always to consider what context happened between. Context We left Chapter…

First thing, be sure to read it if you have not — HERE. Next thing, I love context… so here is some context from LAST Week, in Numbers 14, over to 20 this week: Context Context is helpful when we pop from Ch. 14 all the way over to Ch. 20. So in brief, here…
