  1. How is our modern temple like the ancient tabernacle? What similarities can you think of?
  2. What has been your most meaningful experience of giving something to the Lord — whether time, talent, or money?
  3. How can we develop more willing hearts when it comes to giving?
  4. What one change in your life would help you become more 'holy' — more devoted to God?
  5. Why do you think God made His presence SO powerful that even Moses couldn't enter?
  6. How does the dedication of our modern temples mirror this event?
  7. What does 'holy' mean to you? Is it different from 'perfect'?

Sample questions from this week's game

God has asked everyone to contribute whatever they can — gold, silver, fabric, skills — to build His sacred house. You don't have much, but you have some treasured jewelry. What do you do?

Exodus 35:29; 36:5-7

Show answer

Give willingly and joyfully, trusting that God's house matters more than your possessions — The Israelites' generosity was so overwhelming that Moses had to ask them to stop giving (Exodus 36:5-7)! This shows what happens when God's people give from willing hearts. True generosity isn't about the amount — it's about the heart behind the gift.

Leviticus 19:2

Leviticus 19:2

Show answer

Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy. — This short, powerful verse captures the entire purpose of God's commandments — to help us become holy like Him. It's the theme of the entire book of Leviticus and the foundation for all of God's instructions to Israel.
