All Nations Presbyterian Church: Afternoon Sermon Series

Leviticus 19:1-37 - Holiness

Last Sunday afternoon, we heard from Leviticus 19 together. This chapter especially calls God’s people to be holy. We saw that holiness means obeying God’s commands and applying those commands to the specific circumstances of our lives. When we strive to love God completely and love our neighbor as ourselves, then we will inevitably live and act differently to the world around us. Ultimately, however, the only way that we can grow in holiness is because the holy God has saved us in Jesus Christ and poured out His Holy Spirit into our hearts. This week, re-read Leviticus 19. Identify one command or principle from the chapter that you especially need to work on in your life, pray for the help of the Holy Spirit, and then take specific steps to grow to grow in holiness in that area.

Leviticus 12:1-8 - Original Sin and Total Obedience

Last Sunday afternoon, we heard from Leviticus 12 together. This unusual chapter is especially about the birth of children. In particular, it reminds us that children are a wonderful gift from God, but childbirth is now painful and bloody because of Adam’s sin. Even more, it shows us the reality of original sin: because of Adam’s sin, we are born into this world sinful and deserving God’s wrath. Yet there is hope. Even in Leviticus 12, God provided a way of cleansing and salvation for His people through circumcision and sacrifices. These were shadows that pointed forward to the one way of salvation in Jesus Christ. Jesus perfectly obeyed God’s law for us, and He suffered the penalty that our sin deserves. All who trust in Jesus are born again into a living hope through Jesus Christ. This week, take some time to thank God for the incredible gift of Jesus Christ and pray for those who still need to hear this news.
