Acceptance with God

Big Idea: Unless we drink Jesus’s blood we have no life in us (John 6:53)(1) Blood and Location (Leviticus 17:3-9)(2) Blood and Atonement (Leviticus 17:10-12)(3) Blood and Life (Leviticus 17:13-16)

The big idea of the text: God provides a catchall solution for the impurity and sin of His people in Jesus Christ alone. (1) Entering and Exiting in the Presence of God (Leviticus 16:1-10; 23-28)(2) Propitiation and Expiation (Leviticus 16:11-22)(3) An Atonement Safety Net Forever in Christ (Leviticus 16:23-34)

The big idea of the text: God desires to save us from the eternal death we face if we come to him in our uncleanness. (1) Men are Unclean (Leviticus 15:1-18)(2) Women Are Unclean (Leviticus 15:19-30)(3) Men and Women Clean Through Christ Alone

The big idea of this passage: Jesus Christ is the only High Priest who can keep us separate from our uncleanness. (1) Disease Reminds Us that We Are Helpless (Leviticus 13:1-59)(2) We Have Help Only In Christ (Leviticus 14:1-57)

Big idea of the text: God cares how we live because our lives either lie or tell the truth about what He is like. (1) Holy & Clean(2) God Cares About What We Eat, Touch and Use(3) God Cares About Women 

Big Idea: God does not accept worship that He has not commanded. (1) Worship Is a Matter of Life and Death (Leviticus 10:1-5)(2) God Has Mercy on Whomever He Wills (Leviticus 10:6-15, 16-20)(3) Acceptable Worship is Through Jesus Christ Alone

Big idea of the text: God sets the terms and He alone makes possible the way that we worship Him.(1) Acceptable Worship Is Through a Biblically Ordained Priest(Leviticus 8:5-36)(2) God Really Accepts Worship According to His Rule (Leviticus 9:1-24)

Big Idea: We need a qualified mediator to bring us to God.(1) Necessity of a Qualified Priestly Mediator (Leviticus 6:8-7:21)(2) God Wants Thankful Hearts (Leviticus 7:11-21, 28-38)

(1) Worship and Offerings (Leviticus 1:1-2)(2) Atonement (Leviticus 1:3-?)(3) Remembrance (Leviticus 2:1-?)(3) Peace (Leviticus 3:1-17)

It’s my prayer that God would use the law of Moses in Leviticus as schoolmaster to bring us to Christ (Gal. 3:23-24, KJV).

Big Idea: God accepts sinners through His meticulous design of a priestly sacrifice.  God accepts sinners through…(1) Sacrifice (Lev. 1:1-7:38; 24:1-4 lamps with 6:12-13 fire at altar;…
