Leviticus 6:7

This reading plan features seven doctrines of the Christian faith representing some of the more thought-provoking and often perplexing questions about God and our world. Articles are excerpted from the "Doctrine 101" feature in the NIV Understand the Faith Study Bible.

Although often overlooked and ignored, the book of Leviticus is filled with God's gracious and merciful provisions for his people. Through sacrifice and ritual, God enabled his sinful people to dwell in his holy presence.

Jewish tradition speaks of 2000 years before Torah, 2000 years of Torah, and 2000 years of the Gentiles. Then the Messiah is to come and usher in a “sabbatical” seventh millennium. Today there is a great revival happening as Paul foretold. Gentiles are repenting of centuries-long anti-Semitism and again recovering Jewish roots. This short study titled ‘The Christian’s Jewish Roots’ is meant to create a vibrant love for Jewish people that is to be expressed openly by the church as God sovereignly pours into the hearts of every true spirit-led believer a revelation of His love for every Jew according to Zech.8: 23. 

The Book of Numbers tells the story of Israel’s journey through the wilderness—a time of testing, failure, and God’s unwavering faithfulness. As they moved toward the Promised Land, their struggles revealed the importance of trusting God, even in uncertainty. Through this study, we’ll explore how their journey mirrors our own, calling us to faith, obedience, and confidence in God’s promises.
