Leviticus Sermon Series
God Made Known, Christ Kept Secret
November 13, 2022 • David Mathis
In this sermon on Leviticus 21-22, Pastor David Mathis draws out both what was made known about our God and the mysteries kept secret but revealed through Jesus. God is holy and God makes his people holy and without blemish - despite our sinfulness.
The Day of Atonement
October 30, 2022 • Jonathan Parnell
In this sermon, Pastor Jonathan Parnell expounds upon the significance of two goats found in Leviticus 16. Verses 15-22 are at the center of chapter 16, chapter 16 is at the center of Leviticus, and Leviticus is at the center of the Pentateuch. These two goats are the center of the center of the center of the center. Jesus is the goats. He is our High Priest and our scapegoat.
Moving Closer
October 23, 2022 • Jonathan Parnell
In this sermon on Leviticus 11-15, Pastor Jonathan Parnell connects these chapters to the rest of the story of the Christian life. Becoming like Jesus is the whole point. Being close to God requires purity and sanctification, but we need not worry, for God will sanctify his people. It's about surrender, not self-improvement. We either move lifeward or deathward.
The LORD Made a Way for you
October 16, 2022 • Mike Schumann
In this sermon on Leviticus 8-10, Mike Schumann expounds upon the sacrificial system and the significance it holds for us today. God gifted us with his son, the Great High Priest, Jesus Christ, allowing us to be near to him. We cannot create our own way to God, but we must pursue God as he has instructed us to do.
Drawing Near to the Living and Holy God
October 9, 2022 • Joe Rigney
In this sermon on Leviticus 1-7, Pastor Joe Rigney provides some insight into understanding the sacrificial system. This system of atonement was Israel's process of drawing near to God, but thanks to Jesus–the unblemished Lamb of God, slain for us, then resurrected and ascended to heaven on our behalf–the living and holy God invites us to draw near!
