Good Morning “Born Sinful.”  Today we are in Leviticus 12.  At first glance this passage may seem unfair.  Why would woman be deemed unclean and expected to bring both a burnt offering and a sin offering simply because she gave birth - a natural process.  To understand we have to go back to Genesis 3:16 when woman’s penalty for the Garden Sin was pronounced.  In pain she would now give birth.  Blo...  Read More

Good Morning “Different Than The World.”  Today we are in Leviticus 11.  With new Priests instituted Aaron and now his cousins are back at it.    God delivers the menu or rather those things not on the menu to Moses and Aaron.  Steak was on the menu, Praise The Lord, but no shellfish… what?  Why so specific?  Much like the rest of the regulations we’ve read about, and many more to come - these thi...  Read More

Good Morning “Doers Exactly As He Says.”  Today we are in Leviticus 10.  Man what a turn of events.  One second Aaron and his sons are going about The Lords precious business.  How honored they must have felt to be trusted with such valuable work.  Then, a moment of weakness, arrogance, perhaps pride?  What got into Nadab and Abihu?  Maybe they doubted whether Moses truly heard The Word of The Lor...  Read More

Good Morning “Cost Counters”.   Today we are in Leviticus 9.  “Then Moses said, “This is what the Lord has commanded you to do, so that the glory of the Lord may appear to you.””‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬Moses did exactly as The Lord commanded, exactly the way The Lord commanded to do it, and He showed up.  What does this have to do with us?  EVERYTHING!  Remember The Lord is the same yesterday t...  Read More

Good Morning “Holy Priesthood”. Today we are in Leviticus 8.  Here we read about all of the specific instructions and offerings associated with the Ordination of Aaron and his sons as Priests to serve in the Tabernacle.  We continue to remember that all Scripture is God breathed and useful to grow us up.  And, that all of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation is one story - the story of Jesus and t...  Read More

Good Morning “Everything Offerers”.  Today we are in Leviticus 7.As we continue to read more details regarding regulations for the various offerings we further see Gods purpose behind them all - He even had a plan for the provision of the priests.  Anyone could bring a Fellowship Offering and its purpose varied.  Offerings were presented when making vows, when expressing thanksgiving, or simply as...  Read More

Good Morning “Restitution Providers.”  Today we are in Leviticus 6.This chapter continues with explanation regarding the “Guilt Offering.”  Specifically this portion deals with those sins that require not just Spiritual Atonement but some form of pay back.  When our sin costs someone something it’s reasonable that we make them whole once again, plus something for their trouble - so to speak.  Here...  Read More

Good Morning “Guilty of Sin.”  Today we are in Leviticus 5.  Leviticus 5 wraps up the Sin Offering and moves into the Guilt Offering.  Let’s have a quick review first.- The Burnt Offering was for general sinfulness, an over all sin state.  It recognized my devotion and surrender to God - take all of me.  Romans 12:1 for us - we offer all of ourselves as living sacrifices.- The Grain Offering was i...  Read More

Good Morning “Unintentional Sinners.”  Today we are in Exodus 4.”The wages of sin, or payment required for sin is death.  Exodus 4 is all about the Sin Offering.  Notice however the sin offering is to be made when a specific unintentional sin is discovered or become conscious.  What does this mean?  How can it be sin if I don’t know I’m doing it?  After all, even if it is not in Gods law, but I be...  Read More

Good Morning “Fellowshippers With The Lord.” Today we are in Leviticus 3.Continuing with process of growing in our faith… If the Burnt Offering represented our giving God all of ourselves and the Grain Offering was a “Thanks for your provision” offering, the Fellowship Offering was a commitment to their fellowship with the Lord and with their Brothers and sisters.  We are united together in Jesus,...  Read More

Good Morning “Thankful Followers.”  Today we are in Leviticus 2.As we read about the Grain Offering it’s easy to begin to get overwhelmed with all of the specific requirements.  That’s part of the point.  Remember all of Scripture from beginning to end is the story of Jesus.  The specific details served even more to push the nation to realize… we cannot possibly keep all of these laws and sacrific...  Read More

Good Morning “Living Sacrifices.”  Today we are in Leviticus 1.  The Burnt Offering and the animals that could be offered were very specific, a bull, a ram, or birds.  In each case you were to dispatch the animal or animals with your hand on it, transferring your sin to the animal.  The death of the animal was something to be observed.  Imagine dispatching the animal with your bare hands and ackno...  Read More
