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!
Leviticus 16 - Do you like forgiveness?
Leviticus 16 begins the instructions of offerings for the high priest to perform on the Day of Atonement! To atone is to cover. This is a huge topic of understanding in the Bible! let's take a moment and read through Word together!
Leviticus 15 - God is interested in the details!
Leviticus 15 is one of the passages that makes the Bible so completely different than other religious texts! The detail to so many of life's embarrassing moments are found in the scriptures. But to a God who created us, and knows us, we would expect nothing but such detail!
Leviticus 13 & 14 - The outer body, SKIN!
Leviticus 13 and 14 is a fascinating section on skin diseases and how to treat them! Today we deal with skin issues all the time! Many go to a dermatologist regularly to determine what is what on their skin! God is a doctor as He is the creator of the universe!
Leviticus 12 - Women, Children, God
Leviticus 12 is a little chapter, but super cool to pour through! You might remember that Mary, the mother of Jesus going through these ordinances of the Lord!
Leviticus 11 - Animal!
Leviticus 11 is all about the clean and unclean animals! There is some wisdom in this chapter when you think about it! We do the same kind of thing today in a practical way if you can believe it! Let's get into it!
