Tassels on Garments

37 Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 38 “Speak to the children of Israel: Tell them to make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a blue thread in the tassels of the corners. 39 And you shall have the tassel, that you may look upon it and remember all the commandments of the Lord and do them, and that you may not follow the harlotry to which your own heart and your own eyes are inclined, 40 and that you may remember and do all My commandments, and be holy for your God. 41 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord your God.”

The New King James Version (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1982), Nu 15:37–41.

Introduction

The video is a session of "Coffee and Devotions," a series where the host, alongside viewers, delves into the Bible over coffee. In 2024, the plan is to cover the Books of Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Hebrews. The session opens with a prayer, seeking understanding and a closer relationship with God through the scripture.

Main Discussion: Numbers Chapter 15

• Teaching Focus: The host explains a passage from Numbers 15, where God instructs the Israelites to make tassels on the corners of their garments, with a blue thread in each tassel. This is to remind them of God's commandments and to live a holy life, dedicated to God.

• Application: This ancient practice is paralleled with modern symbols like wedding rings, which serve as reminders of commitments and promises. The host shares a personal anecdote about wearing his wedding ring as a daily reminder of his vows to his wife, drawing a comparison to the tassels meant to remind the Israelites of their commitment to God.

Conclusion and Prayer

The video concludes with a prayer, asking for help to remember and follow God's commandments. The host emphasizes God's eternal love and the importance of living a life in service and commitment to Him.

Invitation

Viewers are invited to further engage with God's word through Sharon R.P. Church's services, providing contact information and service times for those interested.

This session offers a reflective and personal approach to understanding scripture, using everyday examples to illustrate spiritual commitments.
