Discussion Questions:

1. In what ways would you describe your relationship with God as His “treasured possession”?

2. How is giving part of worship? Describe how your voluntary giving is a response to what

God has first done for you.

and use them for the construction of the Tabernacle? How does He do the same thing

with our lives?

How did He do the same thing with the plan for Jesus?

Discussion Questions:

1. How does faith in God increase the dimensions of your life? Describe how faith in the
