Leviticus: An Ancient Guide to Life
Everything we do shapes us. How we dress. What we eat. The way we schedule our lives. Everything we do leads us inexorably towards a deeper, richer, thicker life or towards a shallow, weak, thin life. A life without God. Join us this fall as we (re)discover the book of Leviticus, an ancient guide to life.
Week 1: A Deep, Rich, Full Life
According to Jesus, the book of Leviticus invites us into a life that beats to the “unforced rhythms of grace.” In this message, we begin to explore how this 3,000 year old book points us to a deep, rich, full life.
Week 2: Lean on the Lamb. Leviticus 1
The hardest part of following Jesus has to be this whole giving up control thing. But it might just be the best part too. Leviticus shows us how the way of surrender is the way to life.
Week 3: The Bread of Gratitude. Leviticus 2
How do we experience a life of deep gratitude and joy?
Week 4: Searching for Peace. Leviticus 3
In Leviticus 3, God invites broken, hurting people to a place where they can begin to experience wholeness & peace. He invites us to learn who we are and whose we as we spend time with Him.
Week 5: When I Sin. Leviticus 4-5
If you are a sinner, this text is for you. Leviticus 4-5 will give us step-by-step instructions on how let go of guilt, wash away filth, release shame & regret. It’s a path to healing what’s broken, righting what’s wrong, and knowing “God forgives me.”
Week 6: Keep the Fire Burning. Leviticus 6-10
When the earliest Christians talk about what it means to be a follower of Jesus, they say: “You are a priest.” But what does that even mean? What does it look like for us to step into our God-given calling to be priests?
Week 7: A Rabbi & A Pastor Walk Into A Church
A Conservative Rabbi and an Evangelical Pastor talk God, faith, kosher, Israel, & how to make this world a little bit better. With Special Guest: Rabbi Jeremy Kalmanofsky from Ansche Chesed in NYC.
Week 8: The Day of Atonement. Leviticus 16
How do we experience the forgiveness of God?
Week 9: Love Your Neighbor. Leviticus 19
Love and holiness are inseparable. If you aren’t holy, you aren’t really loving. If you aren’t loving, you aren’t really holy.
Week 10: Sabbath- The Rhythm of Creation. Leviticus 25
Sabbath. It's not just about a day. It's about the rhythm of life and the rhythm of creation.
