Mission 66 ·

2025/12/18

Numbers 22-24 introduces Balaam, a prophet for hire, and his talking donkey. King Balak of Moab, fearing the Israelites, hires Balaam to curse them. God warns Balaam not to curse the nation He has blessed. When Balaam reluctantly agrees to go, his donkey sees an angel blocking the path and miraculously speaks to correct Balaam’s foolishness. Despite many attempts by Balak to manipulate him, Balaam can only speak God’s message, which contains blessings for Israel. These blessings reaffirm God’s

Numbers 21 The Serpent That Brought The Cure

Mission 66 ·

2025/12/17

Numbers 21 teaches us about sin, faith, salvation, and God’s miraculous provision. The Israelites complained against God and Moses, facing discipline when fiery serpents attacked. Their repentance brought a cure—Moses lifted a bronze serpent on a pole, and whoever looked on it in faith was healed. This symbol points to Jesus, who said, "As Moses lifted up the serpent, the Son of Man must also be lifted up." Like the Israelites bit by snakes, we are poisoned by sin, but salvation is freely offered

Numbers 18-20 A Torturous Trek

Mission 66 ·

2025/12/16

Numbers 18-20 highlights responsibilities, purification rituals, and challenges faced during Israel’s journey through the wilderness. Priests and Levites were tasked with maintaining the tabernacle and relied on the people’s tithes for sustenance. The red heifer ceremony symbolized purification, foreshadowing Jesus’ cleansing sacrifice.

Numbers 15-17 Intentional Sin

Mission 66 ·

2025/12/15

In Numbers 15-17, we see a contrast between God’s mercy towards unintentional sins and His firm judgment on intentional sins. A man gathering sticks on the Sabbath and Korah’s rebellion against Moses showed what happens when people disrespect God’s authority. Despite seeing miracles and being led by God, the Israelites grumbled and challenged their leaders. God made it clear that He chooses His leaders—confirming Aaron’s role by making his staff blossom.

Mission 66 ·

2025/12/12

The theme for today is the danger of complaining and rebellion against God-ordained leadership.

Numbers 12-13 When Silence is Golden

Mission 66 ·

2025/12/11

The theme for today is being careful with our words and having faith in God's power. We learn from Aaron and Miriam's mistake of speaking against Moses, and from the spies who were sent to check out the land of Canaan. The ones with faith, like Joshua and Caleb, were in the minority, but they trusted God to give them the land. We also see the importance of humility and meekness, as exemplified by Moses, who was able to write the first five books of the Bible without promoting himself.

Numbers 10-11 Complaint Department

Mission 66 ·

2025/12/10

The theme was "complaint department." In chapter 10, the Israelites set out with high hopes and great expectations, but in chapter 11 they ran into the hot dry desert which sapped their strength and shortened their tempers. And as it often happens today, when hardship and difficulties come upon us, instead of praying, and trusting in God's provision, they complained to each other and criticized Moses. Let's remember to support our church leaders and remember that God is our only true source of any

Numbers 1-4 A Head Count

Mission 66 ·

2025/12/05

The Israelites were commanded by God to conduct a census of all the tribes, counting men from 20 years and older, to determine each tribe's numerical strength for future combat. The Levites were exempted from this census, but Moses counted them separately later. The camp was arranged by tribes, with the order in which they were to set out and regroup later also specified. The sons of Aaron were ordained as the chief priests, and the Levites as their assistants, with each of the three sons of Levi

Mission 66 ·

2025/12/01

These chapters of Leviticus outline God's moral boundaries for human sexuality, emphasizing holiness and obedience.

Leviticus 16 The Day of Atonement

Mission 66 ·

2025/11/27

Leviticus 16 details Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, when the priest would make sacrifices to cover the sins of Israel. This was the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, symbolizing atonement through blood—the bull and goats sacrificed, including the scapegoat sent into the wilderness carrying the people’s sins. Our teacher, John Mathews, explains that while the Old Testament sacrifices temporarily covered sins, they had to be repeated yearly. Today, Jesus is our ultimate atonement, offering a

Leviticus 13 & 14 Unclean! Unclean!

Mission 66 ·

2025/11/26

Leviticus chapters 13 and 14 focus on skin diseases like leprosy and the ceremonial rules surrounding them. The priests diagnosed and isolated lepers to protect the community and maintain tabernacle holiness. Our teacher, John Mathews, compares leprosy to sin—how it starts small, spreads, and damages lives. Sin, like disease, separates us from God and others. The chapters also remind us of Jesus touching and healing lepers, proving His power and breaking societal barriers. While we might not face

Leviticus 12 & 15 For Her And For Him

Mission 66 ·

2025/11/25

Leviticus 12 and 15 emphasize ceremonial purification related to everyday bodily functions. These chapters show that impurity isn’t always sinful—it’s often part of normal life. For instance, childbirth requires purification rituals, and bodily discharges make someone ceremonially unclean. Our teacher, John Mathews, explains that these rules helped ensure the holiness of the tabernacle, where God dwelled among His people. While these ceremonial laws are not needed today, they remind us of the larger

Leviticus 11 Impurity Should Not Be On The Menu

Mission 66 ·

2025/11/24

Leviticus 11 talks about pure and impure animals in the Old Testament dietary laws. These laws weren’t just about food—they taught deep spiritual lessons. Clean animals like those that chew their cud symbolize ruminating over God’s Word, while parted-hoof animals represent a separated, holy walk. Both traits are necessary to live a God-honouring life: focusing on the Word and living set apart from the world. God used these dietary laws to teach holiness, reminding the Israelites to stay distinct

Leviticus 6-10 Holy Fire

Mission 66 ·

2025/11/21

The theme for Leviticus 6-10 is “Holy Fire.” Aaron and his sons were chosen as priests to represent people before God. They were responsible for sacrifices as God instructed, reminding us to approach Him with reverence. When they followed God’s exact instructions, He demonstrated His approval through holy fire consuming the offering, showing that obedience matters. But Nadab and Abihu disrespected God by offering unauthorized "strange fire," leading to their immediate death—a warning against taking
