Remember, in His Word, God has:

  • Something to see – what does the text say
  • Something to understand – what does it mean
  • Something to apply – what does it mean to me
  • Something to praise – for what are you thankful?

Day 2: Ex 35-36Day 5: Leviticus 1-2
Day 3: Ex 37-38Day 6: Lev 3-4

The week’s theme is idolatry, seen particularly in the Exodus 32 narrative. Idols are far more than golden calves, and the New Testament verses help us understand its reach. Really, all sin has idolatry at its root. The antidote is found in our Day 6 verse from the Gospel of Luke.
