Week 3 :: The Exchanging of Weapons and Belt

In case you missed our time together last night or this morning, here's a small recap of what you missed in the teaching time. We reviewed Lessons 1-2 and then went over Lesson 3 a little more in depth. As always, we hope you were able to complete the homework, but don't ever NOT COME to our weekly meetings if you didn't.

Rebecca provided us with a handout which I've filled in below. We looked at What Items Were Exchanged, What They Symbolized, What God's Actions are and Our Responsibilities.



A couple of points:

• Remember, all the rituals of covenant are never to be taken past Scripture's intentions and all of the covenantal signs are never shown all at the same time.
• The word "wait" actually means bind together and the word "renew" means to change, substitute, or change for the better. Doesn't that give a WHOLE new meaning to Isaiah 40:31?
• In life, we are constantly focused on living out life using our strengths? But what if we identified our weaknesses and asked God to do something big there?
