READ NUMBERS 6:22-27

Aaron, brother of Moses, was high priest of Israel.  He was responsible for developing new patterns of religious practice among the people.  his purpose was to unify, stimulate morale, improve morals, and inspire cooperation to make converted, sustained action possible.  it took Aaron 40 years of desert-dwelling and numerous mistakes (Like the golden calf) to develop a religion and a people capable of entering and settling the land of Cannan.  His significance is not so much in the particular form of worship he developed but in the noble and lofty conception of one God expressed in his familiar benediction.

What is the chief purpose of the church?
What is the value of religion in today's society?
Why did Aaron permit the golden calf?

PRAYER: Almighty God, the source and goal of all life, Care for us as you did for ancient Israel. - AMEN!
