The Levitical System of Offerings doesn't have to be confusing or complex; and today, as we study Leviticus 2 and grain offerings, we see that these simple offerings of "thanks" are directly relevant to our lives today. Join us in unpacking these important truths!
1. In a general sense, what was the purpose of a grain offering? What was the worshipper “saying” to God?
2. According to Numbers 28:5, how often were the priests to offer a grain offering to the Lord? What does this tell us about the frequency of the praise we offer to God?
3. Verse 1 tells us that this was to be “fine flour”. What did the podcast explain about what “fine flour” would require of the worshipper?
4. Also, according to verse 1, what was also added to these grain offerings?
5. The podcast reflects on the ways that the grain offering was different from a burnt offering and speculates how this might involve the family. What were some of the ideas that the podcast presented? Do you agree or disagree?
6. Verse 12 says that this offering was to be the “first fruits”. What does this mean and how would being a “first fruit” reflect the faith of the worshipper?
7. Verse 13 says that this offering was to include salt. What were some of the reasons for this, given in the podcast? How does this help us understand the seriousness of these offerings?
8. How does the grain offering show us that we ought to be giving our best to the Lord?
