Leviticus 6

Wendesday Evening OT Bible Study

August 23, 2023 • Pastor Ron Arbaugh • Leviticus 6

We open tonight with a really important principle. In the context of stealing, it is obvious that we sin against people. But God emphasizes that this is first and foremost a sin against God! I know we spoke about this in an earlier study, but we need to be reminded continually that sins against people are sins against God! We cut ourselves off from the fellowship that God sent His son to accomplish. And since we are so focused on people (getting justice), we too often forget that it is God who is the real victim of our lying/stealing…


Let me also talk about lying. This is an acceptable sin because (yuk) ‘everybody lies.’ It is never OK to lie and we who are believers need to be known for always telling the truth in love…


Sin always costs and we need to be aware of it.

Leviticus 1

July 26, 2023 • Pastor Ron Arbaugh • Leviticus 1

In this book, God will invade your personal space. Personal hygiene, prayer, worship, even your sex lives will be fair game. Please don’t shut out anything/everything God wants to speak to you about… One thing I want you to take special note of is that worship and something dying always go together. God will remove any shallow-ness from your worship if you will let Him do so. Think about that as you contemplate your role in worship here at church. Sort-of sheds new light on the man/woman who says, ‘I don’t like the music part’ and come in late every Sunday to avoid it. Worship is sacrifice—that means we worship regardless of our likes/dislikes and personal preferences. We worship God because of who He is…

Leviticus 2-3

August 2, 2023 • Pastor Ron Arbaugh • Leviticus 2, Leviticus 3

The grain offering speaks of our service to the Lord. This was NOT an offering for sin; it is an offering of thanksgiving to the Lord for His goodness to us. The grain offering was available to everyone, rich or poor, and only a portion of it was actually burnt before the altar. The rest was given to the priests as an offering for their service to God. The grain was ground (fine flour) and frankincense was added to insure that the offering smelled really good (evidently, God like good smells!)… The grain offerings had to be prepared at home and brought to the priests. Our devotion to the Lord always begins at home! If your faith isn’t working at home, it’s not genuine. We need to insure that our lives are the same in public or in private. God sees it all…

Leviticus 4

August 9, 2023 • Pastor Ron Arbaugh • Leviticus 4

Sin is sin. Intentional or unintentional. That’s why we need to be extra diligent in examining our hearts continually. God is serious about all sin even though willful sin is far worse and carries far greater consequences. It is still necessary understand that all sin separates us from God. Too many of us we think if we sin but didn’t mean to, it’s somehow OK. God is HOLY and even these sins matter to God…
