Week 14, April 2 - 8, 2017

Old Testament: Joshua 13 - 24
According to 13:33, why was the tribe of Levi given no inheritance?

In chapter 14 Caleb was 85 years old and still thought of himself as a warrior because God had promised him things he hadn't yet seen fulfilled.  What promises has God put in your heart that you are still looking forward to seeing Him fulfill?

How did it happen that Othniel married Aksah, daughter of Caleb?

What did Joshua tell the descendants of Joseph in chapter 17 when they asked for more land?

Why were there only seven tribes that drew lots for their inheritance in chapter 18?

Why was the inheritance of the Simeonites taken from the share of Judah?

In chapter 20 six cities were designated as cities of refuge.  In chapter 21, 48 cities were given to the Levites.  All six of the cities of refuge were included in the cities given to the Levites.  Why do you think all of these were given to the Levites?

Why did Israel gather to go to war with Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh in chapter 22?

In 23:11 Joshua said, "So be very careful to love the Lord your God."  Why would he say this?

In 24:15 Joshua said, "But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord."  Have you made this choice?  What does it mean for you to choose to serve the Lord?

Psalms 38 - 40
David speak about many troubles in Psalm 38.  What does he ask God for in this psalm?

In 39:4 David prays, "let me know how fleeting my life is."  What benefit is there in knowing your life is fleeting?

In 40:3 David says, "He put a new song in my mouth."  When and how has God done this for you?

New Testament: Mark 13 - 16
In 13:13 Jesus said, "the one who stands firm to the end will be saved."  What do you need to do to stand firm?

Why did the action of the woman who broke the alabaster jar of perfume seem wrong to some and right to others?  What was the difference in their thinking?

In 14:38 Jesus said, "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."  What should the disciples have been praying about?

What caused the centurion in chapter 15 to say, "Surely this man was the Son of God!"?

In 16:15-16, Jesus said, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned."  What are the essential truths of the gospel message that a person must believe for them to be saved?
