Saved to Serve

Reading/Studying the Torah: A Series from Our Weekly Reading

Numbers 1-4; Ephesians 2:10; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27.

Central Idea: God has a distinct and detailed job for every person.

I. Numbers — Order and Assignments [chs. 1-4]

Numbers 1 — Military leaders by tribe (males, 20 years and older); The designation of the Tribe of Levi assigned for care of the Tabernacle

Numbers 2 — Arrangement of military leaders to protect the tabernacle

Numbers 3 — Consensus of Levitical males; Consensus of Israelite firstborn males; Arrangement for God’s acceptance of the Levitical men in place of the firstborn of Israelite males. For the difference, shekels of silver were arranged to pay the difference.

Numbers 4 — Assignment of the Levitical clans followed by a census of the working man in each clan (30-50).

Numbers 4:49 “49 At the Lord’s command they were registered under the direction of Moses, each one according to his work and transportation duty, and his assignment was as the Lord commanded Moses.”

II. Ephesians 2:10 — The Unchanging God who still has assigned work for us

We were saved to serve.

God still has assignments for us to do as we daily live for Him

for we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do the good works prepared for us ahead of time…
