Listen to Pastor Nick read the Firestarter and Numbers 2:1-9.
Who is at the center of your life? We live in a society that has a high degree of self-centeredness. “Doing my thing,” is a byword these days. The book of Numbers will give you a new perspective.
Place yourself as part of a family of one of the tribes of Israel. You are part of this great nation camped around the presence of the Lord. The tabernacle of God’s presence is what is center, not the lives of any one person, or any group. Alas, when the people sinned, it was because they forgot the Lord as their center.
You are the tabernacle, the temple of the Lord. May God’s presence radiate from your center to all those surrounding you in your life.
This is the second of three parts of the Torah Portion, Bemidbar (In the Wilderness)
Conservative and Reform Jewish congregations read only this part this year,
as also in this Bible plan.
Here is the entire portion in all three parts.

Example: Serving from the inner tent 3:8
The Saturday passages follow the reading list that Jewish people use in their synagogue worship
throughout the world. They are taken from
“The Torah,” the first five books of the Bible from Genesis to Deuteronomy
that are read each year beginning with autumn.
For all the Firestarters I recommend the ebook. You will have the entire program of well over a thousand of these introductions with you on your phone or tablet. Check the menu options at the site for more information.
