Harvest Growth Guide for June 7-12
Mike Moses
Hebrews 9:1-10
1. God often uses tangible items to point to spiritual realities (ex: Luke 12:24-28, Proverbs 30:24-28). Why is this?
2. How does the tabernacle's lampstand point to Christ?
(See John 1:4-5, 8:12)How does it point to the church? (See Matthew 5:14-16, Ephesians 5:8-11)
3. How does the tabernacle's bread point to Christ? (See John 6:35, 51)
How does it point to the church? (See Acts 2:42, 1st Corinthians 11:23-26)
4. How does the Ark’s mercy seat point to Christ?
(See John 20:12, Hebrews 4:16, 1st John 2:2 - note that “propitiation” and “mercy seat” share the same root in Greek)
5. Digging Deeper into Doctrine
How do these Scriptures further inform our understanding of Jesus and the church as God’s dwelling place?
John 1:14, 2:19-21, Colossians 1:19, Ephesians 3:21-22, 1st Corinthians 3:16-17
Pray for one another: Thank the Lord for fulfilling the Old Testament “pointers” in Christ.
Weekly Scripture Memory:
“You, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you. Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; listen to my plea for grace. In the day of my trouble I call upon you, for you answer me.” (Psalm 86:5-7)

Harvest Growth Guide for May 31 - June 5
Brett Romisch
Psalm 16
1. What are some modern "must-haves" that people chase today that you think are advertised as more satisfying than they really are?
2. Read Psalm 16:1-2, 5-6
What would it look like practically for you to pray David's prayer: "Preserve me, O God" each morning?
How do you respond when you realize your heart has drifted toward something other than God for satisfaction?
(Consider Psalm 51:10-12, 73:25-26, and 119:36-37).
3. Read Psalm 16:3-4
God's people are the best! Share some moments where you experienced deep encouragement or joy through another believer
(Consider Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, Galatians 6:2, 1 Thessalonians 5:11, and Hebrews 10:24-25)
