Numbers 6:2 (2/23/17)

Nazarite Vow

February 23, 2017 • Benham Brothers

* A Nazarite vow was a special vow people could take if they wanted to go deeper with God and express deep devotion to Him.
* It’s kindof like Hobby Lobby and Chic-Fil-A not being open on Sunday.
* It consisted of three things that we can apply to our lives today if we want to go deeper with God:
* 1) No wine to drink - even though wine was ok.
* This symbolizes saying “no” to our senses and not indulging our appetites.
* 2) No cutting of hair.
* This symbolizes not being concerned about outward appearance.
* A Nazarite was more concerned with what was going on inside than outside.
* 3) Stay away from dead bodies.
* This symbolizes staying away from places of death (bars, clubs, etc).
