Application Questions

1. Have you ever found yourself “treasuring the photo” of a spiritual discipline or tradition more than the actual person and presence of Jesus?

2. What are some religious “shadows” (good things like regularly serving in ministry, celebrating holidays, etc.) that can distract us from the “substance” that is Christ?

3. Review Leviticus 23. Which of these feasts is most familiar to you, and which is the least?

4. Why do you think God instituted these feasts and celebrations for His people beyond their pointing forward significance in Christ?

5. Read Colossians 2:16-17. How do we balance the freedom and fulfillment we have in Christ (not being required to practice the feasts/festivals) with the blessing and maybe necessity of learning about them?

6. If Jesus has set a spot at His table for you, without cost, what is something you need to leave behind to sit down with Him this Holy week?
