The question many are asking today is: “Where is the life I have lost in trying to live? Why don’t I know the way out? How come I am so up tight, so hurting, so broken?” God determines to heal man’s brokenness and to make man whole again. And the great news is – He knows how to do it! Psalm 147:…
The Pharisees heard that Jesus had ended the prior exchange with the Sadducees by silencing them. So the Pharisees huddle together to craft a new approach, before picking one of their own to ask Jesus their new question. Matthew 22: 23-40 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, saying, Master, Moses…
Amazing, astounding, marvelous, this Jesus Christ, hailed as King, hailed as Savior, hailed as Messiah, is confronted by hate-filled religious leaders who wanted Him discredited and dead. He’s unaffected by their assaults. He only manifests greater glory, produces greater wonder, and confounds His enemies.

The Priests were provided by God to ensure that community life was honouring to God and all that defiled was dealt with in the way that God prescribed. If someone had a skin complaint they must ‘show themselves to the Priest. Mark 1: 35-45 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a…
We enter the kingdom as little children and the Lord will protect and care for us like little children. Also, we will see – whom the Lord loves He will also discipline and forgive. Matthew 18: 1-20 “At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child…
This section anticipates the next major division of Leviticus, ‘The Institution of the Priesthood.’ Unswerving obedience to God’s commands is one indication of a sanctified life in both the Old and New Testaments. Leviticus 7: 1-21 “This is the law of the guilt offering. It is most holy. In the place where they kill the burnt offering they…
