A WORD ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF EARNING A CERTIFICATE AND DIPLOMA-

Certificate and Diploma programs are the latest trend in adult higher education. To meet the rising demand, United States institutions of higher learning are expected to greatly increase the number of certificate programs currently offered. Not surprisingly, the value and prestige of earning a certificate and diploma is beginning to rival that of the associate degree, and in some cases even the baccalaureate degree. Certificates and diplomas are an ideal way to gain competency quickly and less expensively. They are also considered a more reasonable stepping stone toward earning a degree if that is the ultimate goal.

After completing the book, review your notes.

Can you justify with a specific passage from Leviticus, the statement that the book teaches God's will about:

Law of Priests and their procedures
Access to God
Worship
Sacrifices
Atonement
Feasts
Sexual purity
Honesty about property
Try to put these topics in their proper order with correct Scripture: ( Note 2 Sin Offerings and 3 Sweet Savor Offerings)
1. Burnt Offering
2. Sin Offering
3. Peace Offering
4. Meal Offering
5. Trespass Offering
Compare Old Testament Offerings with New Testament references:
1. Burnt offering with Ephesians 5:3 and Hebrews 9:14
2. Meal Offering with John 12:24
3. Peace Offering with Romans 5:1 and Colossians 1:20
4. Sin Offering with 2 Corinthians 5:21 and 1 Peter 2:24
5. Trespass Offering with Colossians 2:13,14 and 2 Corinthians 5:19.

Evaluate the statement: "In Exodus God drew near to Israel by the Tabernacle; in Leviticus Israel drew near to God in Offerings."

Decide if Leviticus makes leaven a type of evil by making a comparison with Leviticus 2:5,11; 6:16; 23:5,6 with these other Scriptures:
1. Would you agree that the Feast of Unleavened Bread represented the fact that after salvation, the believer should live a holy life? Compare Matthew 16:6; 11; Mark 8:15; Luke 12:1; 1 Corinthians 5:6-8.
Show how chapters 1-16 picture Israel coming to God.
Show how chapters 17-27 picture Israel in having fellowship with God. Compare 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; 1 Peter 1:14-18.
Compare the difference between the Leviticus forgiveness of unintentional sins and the New Testamentforgiveness for all sins: Leviticus 4: 27-35 and Numbers 15:27-31 with 1 John 1:7-9; Hebrews9:13,14.
Why is it important for Christians to understand the sacrifices in Leviticus? Read Hebrews 8:1 -10:22.

Study the importance of the feasts in Leviticus 23
1. Note that Jesus was crucified on the day of the Passover (Matthew 26:20; Luke 23:54; John 19:31). Compare the statement of Paul in 1 Corinthians 5: 6-8.
2. Note the immediate follow-up of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, Leviticus 23:6-8 and compare with 1 Corinthians 5:6-13. (Would you agree with the belief that as the Passover points to our salvation, the Unleavened Bread points to the holy life that should follow our personal salvation?)
What is the spiritual meaning of the First Fruits Feast?
What does the feast of Pentecost point to? Read Acts 2:1.
Name the 3 remaining feasts and see what you think they typify. Do you relate these to future prophetic events?
Study Leviticus 25
1. How often was the "year of jubilee" observed?
2. How did that year relate to values?
3. Name three benefits of the jubilee.
State in writing two spiritual lessons you learned by the above comparisons: a.b.
Do you agree or disagree with the following:
1. The life is in the heart muscle.
2. The life is in the blood.
3. The blood is a food item.
4. Family relations are off-limits to sex.
5. Sex has no need for discipline.
6. Capital punishment is prohibited.
7. Sacrifices need not work for the priest.
8. A sacrificial animal must be perfect.
Using all your notes, speak a 5 minute summary message of Leviticus to a mirror. (If you have never done this, it may seem rather silly at first. However, this process had been a standard practice of public speaking, debate and preaching training for generations.)
Write as briefly as possible what you think is the theme of Leviticus.
Review your notes and mark 7 passages that would make good sermons.
Review your notes and mark 10 verses you will memorize.
How does Leviticus relate to God's Plan of Salvation?

Why could Leviticus be called:
1. The Book of Worship,
2. The Book of Sacrifices,
3. The Book of Holiness.
4. The Book of Priestly Law,
5. The Book of Access to God. Can you cite Scripture verse proof?
Discuss what you have learned with two people and make notes of their reaction.

Very few people think the Psalms give help to real life.

Using all your notes, speak a 5 minute summary of Psalms to a mirror. (If you have never done this, it may seem rather silly at first. However, this process had been a standard practice of public speaking, debate and preaching training for generations.)

ADDITIONAL HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS ABOUT THE PSALMS

Authors: Principally David but others contributed.

Audience: This was the "song book" of the Hebrew nation. It continues to give comfort and blessing to the people of God everywhere and at all times.

Purposes: There are many purposes of the Psalms. They use prophecy, the experiences of the Hebrew nation, the experiences of individuals, the special revelations of God to give challenge, comfort, understanding.

Some specific purposes:

Psalm 1 contrasts the wicked and the godly.
Psalm 2 declares the sovereignty of the Messiah.
Psalm 22 points to the suffering of Christ.
Psalm 23 comforts with God's shepherd care.
Psalm 16 points to the resurrection of Christ.
Psalm 37 and 71 give testimony and help to the aged.
Psalm 73 deals with the problem of the prosperity of the wicked and their ultimate destiny of loss
Psalm 103 gives an example of praise to God.
Psalm 119 relates the benefits of the Word of God.

This partial listing demonstrates that all of the Psalms have specific purpose and many different methods of accomplishing the comfort and challenge that God wishes to give to His children.

Important Note: When Jesus was conferring with the disciples as recorded in Luke 24:44, He spoke of the fact that the Psalms pointed to Him and to events in His life that must be fulfilled to show that He is the Messiah.

Special passages:

Definition of the Blessed Man: Psalm 1:1-3. Position of man: Psalm 8:4-8.

Deliverance by God: Psalm 18. The testimony of nature: Psalm 19. God's shepherd care: Psalm 23.

Blessing of salvation: Psalm 32.

God's protection to the godly: Psalm 34. A recipe for trust: Psalm 37.

An example of the blessing of confession: Psalm 51. The folly of the atheist: Psalm 53.

While Psalms has no actual "outline" it does divide into sections and the individual psalms have specific meanings. The partial list given above shows how this may be accomplished. The Psalms challenge the Christian to praise and afford a source of God's comfort.

-end of course.

CONGRATULATIONS! If you have completed the course as instructed, you have achieved an extremely important milestone in your walk with the Lord. We rejoice with you, and trust that God will use you in an even greater way to minister to a world that is in desperate need of the life- changing Gospel of our Risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

Scholars have assigned several (Paul, Barnabas, Apollos) as the human author.
Scholars believe the author sought to confirm the faith of Jewish Christians under persecution.

IV.. Memorize these key verses in the book of Hebrews:

1:1-3; 2:1; 4:14-16; 8:12; 9:22; 10:12 11:1,6; 12:1, 14; 13:8, 20-21.

V.Would you accept as the key verse for the book Hebrews 4:14 or would you suggest another verse?

"Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess."

Suggestion: Urge any person who is confused about the Old Testament to read Hebrews because this book will relate the two Testaments.

VI.A suggested outline of Hebrews

An outline based on the material content of each chapter:

Chapter One, a summary of the person and power of Jesus as the central figure in Hebrews,
Chapter Two, give greater heed to greater message because of its authority, man's proposed destiny, Jesus' incarnate ministry.
Chapter Three, consider Jesus as greater than Moses and obey the call of God in faith.
Chapter Four, enter God's rest at limited time with faith in God's living Word through sympathetic high priest by grace.
Chapter Five, Jesus is greater than any other priest and offers an eternal salvation
.Chapter Six, an exhortation against falling away and urging to faithfulness.
Chapter Seven, the priesthood of Jesus is better than that of Levi because he continues forever with the ability to save to the uttermost. One said, "From the guttermost to the uttermost."
Chapter Eight, the new covenant is better than the old because it is inward , merciful, even to the forgiving and the forgetting of our sins.
Chapter Nine, the sacrifice of Jesus is better then the animal sacrifices for he has presented his own atoning blood into the very heavenly presence of God.
Chapter Ten, Jesus took a body to obey the Father by providing himself as a once for all adequate sacrifice.

Now, using the system and insights provided in the ten chapters above, complete the remaining three chapters. Hint: Read the chapter and seek to create a very brief [as in the previous ten provided for you] sentence summation of the general content of each of the remaining three chapters.

Chapter Eleven
Chapter Twelve
Chapter Thirteen

VII.Using the example below, create two very basic three-level sermon / teaching outlines for the titles and texts suggested.

Sample Outline

Title: Why We Should Run the Race of Life With Confidence? Hebrews 12:1-3

We Should Run the Race With Confidence Because Others Who Have Proven It Can Be Done Are Cheering Us On! 12:1
We Should Run the Race With Confidence Because Jesus Has Already Run It On Our Behalf! 12:2
We Should Run the Race With Confidence Because Christ Provides Us With Both the Example and the Strength to Run On! 12:3

Suggested Titles and Texts

What Every Christian Should Do, Do to Others, and Not Do. Hebrews 10:23-25
Why Jesus Christ Is Our One and Only High Priest and What We Should Do Because of It. Hebrews 3:1-11
Now, select three additional texts, assign a title, and create a basic three-level outline for each. If possible, teach or preach at least one of these to a group. Ask the group for feedback (both positive and negative). A good scholar learns from the suggestions of others.

VIII. After Completing the Course Above, Select A Quiet Place Free from Distractions, and Read the Entire Book of Hebrews Out Loud.

This may, at first, seem a strange assignment, but be assured that after you have completed it, you will have realized a certain kind of insight and appreciation for this wonderful Book that cannot be gained otherwise.
