Leviticus 27 - How to Give!
Leviticus 26 - Blessing and curse!
Leviticus 26 - A third breakdown of the commandments are located in this chapter. Also a expectation of what will happen to the nation if they depart from listening to God.
Leviticus 25 - Redemption
Leviticus 25 is a important chapter about freedom and redemption and what they mean in the young nation of Israel. To find rest, to be free, to be bought out of slavery are what every human would want. But do humans understand that they are in need of such things?
Leviticus 24 - More instruction!
Leviticus 24 is a short chapter on continued instructions for the people of Israel and the persons who work in the tabernacle! One thing about our world...there are so many laws and things to learn as we go! Governments grow and laws expand! There was once 1 volume book of law in the United States one hundred years ago! Now there are over 50 volumes!
Leviticus 23 - Let's Get Together!
Leviticus 23 Is a awesome chapter on the various celebrations and feasts that Israel was to participate in as a Yahweh worshipping nation. They were to be together, in unity, focused on the different character qualities of God during these times. As we await a child to be born in the Biblical narrative, we get a idea of this special child through these feasts!
Leviticus 22 - We all need Cleansing!
Leviticus 22 is more instructions to Aaron and his sons! Just as the "regular," person in the nation of Israel had issues, so the priest does too! It reminds us that no matter who you are on the planet, we need to be cleansed of our sin which is in us and that which shows itself in our behavior! We all need Saving and a Savior!
Leviticus 21 - So you want to be a priest?
To be a priest in Israel during the time of Moses was no joke! It was a serious calling and rules and regulations galore! God is Holy and the priests must reflect that in their conduct around of the tabernacle and in their personal lives. This sounds much like what you read in the New Testament in 1 Timothy 3 or Titus 2 regarding Elders/Overseers of a Church.
Leviticus 20 - No fun consequences!
Consequences can be no fun! Most of us do anything possible to avoid them. How many people in prison say they never committed a crime? How many outside of prison will say the same to God? We all are a slave to sin and the consequences of our sin is seen in a decaying body. The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life!
Leviticus 19 - Do not!
In this chapter there are many, "do not," statements. It is a review of the 10 commandments and so much more. When you see a strong statement in the New Testament regarding our behavior (Not a hint of sexual immorality etc...), you know can see where it comes from! God is Holy throughout the Bible. And the call to be Holy stands to all humans. Everybody seeks to be holy, but the question is to who's standard of holiness are we seeking to be like?
Leviticus 18 - Yo, Let's talk about sex!
We live in a hugely confused world on the topic of sex. On one side all is good, while on the other side nothing is good! It can be a daunting subject that hits so close to our very being! Humans avoid sexual discussion at all cost! We struggle to look at the ramifications of our behavior on this particular subject, though the actions of humans have been catastrophic! Let's get into it!
Leviticus 17 - A lesson about eating blood!
Leviticus 17 is about eating blood! Wowee, you might never have thought about this before, but there is an amazing application to it!
