In 2 Kings 6:8–17, what is happening in both the visible (Aramean army) and invisible (heavenly army) realms? What does this reveal about God’s power and activity? 2. The kings of Israel at this time are described as doing “evil in the eyes of the Lord,” yet God is still actively protecting Israel through Elisha; what does this tell us about how God works through His prophets even when leaders and nations are spiritually off track?

God’s desire to dwell with His people unfolds across history: Eden (creation, before ~2000 BC; Genesis 3:8), the Tabernacle (~1446 BC; Exodus 25:8), Solomon’s Temple (~966 BC; 1 Kings 6–8), its destruction by Babylon (586 BC), Zerubbabel’s Temple (~516 BC; Ezra 6:15), its expansion by Herod (~20 BC), and its destruction by Rome (AD 70); how does seeing this timeline help you understand God’s persistent desire to be with His people? 2. In 1 Kings 6:11–13, what does God promise about His presence in the temple, and how doe

In 2 Samuel 6:6–8, what do Uzzah’s death and David’s response teach us about God’s holiness? How does this challenge common assumptions people have about God—especially in light of A. W. Tozer’s quote, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us”? 2. In 2 Samuel 6:9–12, after seeing God bless Obed-Edom, David revisits his assumptions and approaches God differently. What does this reveal about David’s heart, and what changed in how he viewed God?

In 1 Samuel 13:11–15, why does God call Saul’s action “foolish” even though he was trying to seek the Lord’s favour? What does this reveal about obedience under Christ’s kingship? 2. 2 Chronicles 16:9 says that “the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.” How does this shape our understanding of God’s role while we are waiting? Grow in Groups (heart – personal faith and formation) 1. Where in your life are you currently “waiting” on God? How does knowing that God is actively

What does Judges 13 show us about who God is in a time when “the Israelites did evil in the Lord’s sight” and were oppressed for forty years? 2. Why is it significant that the angel of the Lord comes specifically to Manoah’s unnamed, barren wife, and what does that tell us about the kind of people God notices? 3. From this chapter, what do you learn about the “angel of the Lord” and how God can be both above us and yet personally present with His people? Grow (heart – personal faith and formation) 4.

Grow G1 In Joshua 9:14, the Israelites “sampled their provisions but did not inquire of the LORD.” Why do you think they skipped seeking God at this moment, especially after everything they had just experienced with Him? G2 The Gibeonites’ deception seemed convincing. What are some modern situations where circumstances or appearances might lead us to make decisions without seeking God? G3 The Israelites had just heard the blessings and curses from Deuteronomy 28:1–2 at Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim. What does their failure to inquire

Why do you think that was your response? (Deut 21:10–14) Grow G1 The sermon encouraged us to “take off our Nike shoes and put on Ancient Near East sandals,” and to bring good assumptions about God’s character into hard texts. Why is understanding cultural context — and remembering who God has already revealed Himself to be — essential when reading difficult passages? (Deut 4:32; Deut 8:1; Deut 9:7) G2 The idea of the “Williamson Turn” described a slow, redemptive shift in culture —

Why? Grow G1 In Deuteronomy 2:1–3, God says, “You have made your way around this hill country long enough; now turn north.” Where in your life might God be saying, “You’ve circled this long enough — it’s time to move forward”? G2 In Deuteronomy 2:10–12, 20–22, Moses explains that the Moabites, Ammonites, & Edomites (Israel’s relatives) had already driven out formidable peoples like the Anakites, Rephaim, and Horites.

Where have you seen God bring transformation, either in your own life or in someone else’s?

(Lev 26) Grow G1 Leviticus 26 reflects a Suzerain–Vassal treaty, a common agreement in the Ancient Near East where a powerful king (the suzerain) pledged protection and blessing to a weaker people (the vassals), and in return expected loyalty and obedience. Blessings followed faithfulness, and consequences followed rebellion (Lev 26:1–13; Lev 26:14–39). How does seeing the chapter through that lens change the way you hear God’s words? G2 Throughout the chapter, God warns of
