Old Testament: Numbers 19 - 36
Why did God require a cleansing process in chapter 19 for someone who came in contact with a corpse?
What did Moses do wrong in chapter 20? How important is it for you to be obedient to God?
In chapter 21 Moses put a bronze snake on a pole. If someone was bitten by a venomous snake and looked at the bronze snake they would live. Why did Jesus compare himself to the bronze snake in John 3:14?
What do you conclude from God's statement to Balaam in 22:12, "You must not put a curse on those people, because they are blessed." Should you be concerned about someone trying to put a curse on you? What do you need to do to walk in God's blessing?
Why was God angry in 22:22?
In 23:19 Balaam's word from the Lord included the statement, "God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?" Do you recognize that God keeps His promises? What promises of God shape the way you think and live?
Who is the star spoken of in 24:17 and the ruler spoken of in 24:19?
What caused a plague in chapter 25?
Why do you think God said in 26:55, "Be sure that the land is distributed by lot"? David wrote in Psalm 16:6, "The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance." What attitude should you take toward the life God has provided for you?
When the second census was taken in chapter 26, who was still living that had been counted in the first census?
What did Moses ask God for in 27:15-17?
In chapter 30, why did God give fathers and husbands the right to overrule vows made by their daughters or wives?
31:16 shows that Balaam advised the Midianites in how to lure Israel in to sin. This was after he was unable to curse Israel. This advice only worked because of the disobedience of the Israelites. How can you avoid being led astray by the enemy?
Were the Gadites and Reubenites right or wrong in wanting to live east of the Jordan?
Chapter 33 lists 42 places that the Israelites camped in the 40 years from the time they left Egypt to the time they camped across the Jordan River from Jericho. Why were they on the move for so long?
In chapter 35 God describes the purpose of the cities of refuge as a place people could go "so that anyone accused of murder may not die before they stand trial before the assembly." Why wouldn't people be given this protection and the opportunity to stand trial anywhere in the land?
What restriction was given in chapter 36 to women who inherited land?
Psalms 25 - 28
David wrote in 25:4, "Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths." How eager are you to learn God's will for your life? How willing are you to go where He leads?
Why do you think David wrote in 26:8, " I love the house where you live"?
David wrote in 27:1, "The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?" How can you develop a trust in the Lord that drives out the fear of other people?
David wrote in 28:7, "My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him." How can you experience the joy that David was writing about?
New Testament: Romans 6 - 10
In 6:11 we are given the command, "count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus." What does this mean and how do you obey it?
In 7:4 Paul says we have "died to the law through the body of Christ." What does it mean to be dead to the law?
In chapter 7 Paul describes the struggle with sin, summarized in verse 21, "So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me." People studying this chapter have sometimes disagreed on whether Paul was describing his struggle before becoming a Christian or his struggle as a Christian. Which do you think he meant and why?
In 8:18 Paul wrote, " I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us." Are you able to take this attitude when you face suffering?
8:28 says, "in all things God works for the good of those who love him." Do you expect that God is doing something good even when you can't see the good at the time?
According to 9:32, why did people of Israel not obtain righteousness?
What does Paul say in 10:9 a person needs to do to be saved?
