DID YOU KNOW
• Cubic = 18 inches

KEY LESSON QUESTIONS

• What was the purpose of the golden rings?

• What are the requirements for mercy to be granted?

• What is the difference between grace and mercy?

• Based on Exodus 25, what mistake has been made in 2 Samuel 6:1-3?

• Who are priests today, according to scripture? (see 1 Peter 2:5,9)

• Where did God say he would appear according to Exodus 25?

LESSON AT A GLANCE

• God does not leave it up to man to design how God will be worship; nor does he leave it up to man to provide the specifications to how we worship, approach, fellowship or meet God.

• Introducing Uzzah: God is not playing when it comes to his instructions (see 2 Samuel 6:1-7)

○ The lesson application here is never get to the point where we think we got to help God.

○ The last thing anyone saw Uzzah do was touch what he should have never put his hand on--the ark of covenant--and he was struck dead!

○ Application of Obedience: Moses tells Aaron on behalf of the Lord that he must come to the Lord appropriately, at the right time, and in the right way (see Leviticus 16:1-2)

○ David was upset with God when Uzzah died, but God explained exactly why he did what he did (see 1 Chronicles 15:2,12-15)

• Do not add or subtract to God's word… Revelation 22:18

• A Better Way through a great high priest, Jesus Christ... Hebrews 4:14-16; Hebrews 8:4-6

• Mercy... Titus 3:3-5
