Sermon Notes 25 October 2020
Speakers: Deacon Danny Chua & Mr Ng Zhiwen
The Cities of Refuge
Joshua 13:1-19:48
Appointing Cities of Refuge (20:1-9)
Land Inheritance for the Levitical Priests (21:1-40)
The Lord’s Faithfulness to His Word (21:41-45)
Questions for Reflection and Discussion
- What was one truth or lesson you remember from the sermon or passage?
- In what ways is the modern church called to be a city of refuge?
- How does the picture of the Levites here shape our understanding of God’s role for his ‘priests’ (leaders) today? What does this mean for you as a Zion Bishan member?
- Why does the author highlight that God gave to Israel all the land (21:41-45) despite Israel’s failure to drive out all the Canaanites as we previously heard?
