40 – A Prayer that is a Sacrifice – Leviticus – Praying through the Bible

| May 26, 2020

What? Wow!

| October 7, 2019

Wow, just an unbelievable wow! “When someone sins in any of these ways: …if someone touches anything unclean — a carcass of an unclean wild animal, or unclean livestock, or an unclean swarming creature — without being aware of it, he is unclean and incurs guilt.” (CSB Leviticus 5:1-2).Let me get this story straight. God […]

Acts 5 – Why Did Ananias and Sapphira Die?

| October 7, 2019

Like with many questions, there is more than one right answer as to why Ananiasand Sapphira were put to death by God. May we learn why in many levels.1. SIN – The husband and wife conspired together to lie about how much they donated to help the needy saints (Acts 5:1-10).2. FEAR – The people […]

Leviticus 13 – You Are Contagious

| October 7, 2019

Boring, but beneficial? When reading Leviticus 13, I can’t image this chapter about skin diseases being fascinating to anyone except from the Center for Disease Control (CDC). But what I’m wondering is, why were the Israelites warned and cautioned so much about what something that could end up being no more than a scab (13:6)?Here’s […]

Leviticus 26:11-13 Jesus in Leviticus

| October 7, 2019

So much of Jesus and His gospel are found in these three Leviticus verses:“I will place my residence among you (John 1:14), and I will not reject you (John 10:29). I will walk among you and be your God (1 John 1:7), and you will be my people (Titus 2:14). I am the LORD your […]

Leviticus 23:3 – “Have to” vs “Get to”

| October 4, 2019

“Get dressed, we have to go to church.” Ever say that to your children? Should you say that?In Leviticus Moses preached, “Work may be done for six days, but on the seventh day there is to be a Sabbath of complete rest, a sacred assembly. You are not to do any work; it is a […]

James 1:27 – Why Is This Pure Religion?

| April 29, 2018

God tells us what is pure and undefiled religion: James 1:27 – Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained by the world. The question needing asking is, “Why are these criteria pure and undefiled religion?” I would […]

Romans 12:1-2; Hebrews 13:15-16; Leviticus – Worship without Sacrifice is Just Words

| March 22, 2014

Incentives or motivation for righteousness in the OT was very personal, even “base” by New Covenant standards. And yet, sometimes what sin “costs” us can and should be motivating; it can cost us relationships, self-respect, all more important than money, and yet…. Imagine the personal financial cost of offering sacrifices in bygone years. You sinned, […]

Leviticus 1:9 – Holy Smoke

| February 24, 2014

“The primary sense is that the burnt offering goes up as smoke. From a theological perspective, one may say that the act of burning is more concerned with transformation than incineration….What has been placed on the altar is literally an animal. The ritual has transformed the animal into something else – smoke – and this […]

Leviticus – Law, Grace and Love

| February 10, 2014

Leviticus is a book of law, grace and love. Obeying sacrificial laws bring us grace undeserved because of other laws broken. Amazingly, these and other laws can be divided into two love categories: The First Great Commandment of Love (chs.1-16); The Second Great Commandment of Love (chs. 17-27). Law, grace, and love is being holy […]
