Leviticus
All of Life as Worship
So, why are you
really here?
Leviticus is one of those biblical books that people either love or hate. Which side do you fall on? Although it can seem difficult or downright incomprehensible, Leviticus is a book that can have a deep impact on our hearts, our lives, and our ministries. The ideas and themes laid out in this book can help us know God more deeply and see the desires of God’s heart. Doesn’t sound so bad, does it?
Brutal, bloody, irrelevant
... or bold & beautiful?
Framing our study of Leviticus according to themes like ‘A God worth Worshipping’, ‘A Nation of Priests’, and ‘Loving Each Other Well as Covenant People’ can help us move past what seems strange in this often skipped-over book to what applies to us today. Are you ready to give it another chance?
