What must those who lead God's people's worship do? Leviticus 10:4–20 looks forward to the evening sermon on the coming Lord's Day. In these seventeen verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that those who lead God's people in worship must follow and teach God's own instructions for His worship and His people.

We begin in Leviticus, the book of Holiness, with a brief overview of the contents of the book as a whole. It details the sacrifices and service of the Old Testament Tabernacle in the wilderness.

Ezekiel had an important message for the Jews then and for all people since then.

Verse by verse exposition of the book of 2 Kings. PM sermons are preceded by a Confessional, Catechism, or Historic Creed lesson. (Usually 5 minutes or so) Heidelberg Catechism 31: Q. Why is he called "Christ," meaning "anointed"? A. Because he has been ordained by God the Father and has been anointed with the Holy Spirit to be our chief prophet and teacher who fully reveals to us the secret counsel and will of God concerning our deliverance; our only high priest who has delivered us by the one sacrifice of his body, and who continually pleads our cause with the Father; and our eternal king who governs us by his Word and Spirit, and who guards us and keeps us in the freedom he has won for us. 32: Q. But why are you called a Christian? A. Because by faith I am a member of Christ and so I share in his anointing. I am anointed to confess his name, to present myself to him as a living sacrifice of thanks, to strive with a free conscience against sin and the devil in this life, and afterward to reign with Christ over all creation for eternity.

You need help to stand before God -- where can you get it?

Numbers 31 continues to describe the last days of Moses as the Lord commands that he destroy the Midianites. As will become typical, Israel does NOT follow orders until they are rebuked. We also deal with the accusation that God is "mean" and bad for killing off all but the innocent children and women. Also Reference: Isaiah 55:6, Titus 2:11, John 12:32 https://bbfohio.com

Could this psalm without title or author have much to say to even us this day? Could this random list of verses from other psalms actually be a sermon calling the now returned Babylonian exiles to repentance, reverence and resolution? It seems so. Listen and follow along.

Our Saviour Anointed: as chief prophet and teacher; as only high priest; as eternal king

The Lord assures us that His consuming-fire glory is a blessing to us through the Word, resurrection, ascension, and Spirit of Jesus Christ.

I mentioned last week that most of us are pretty rusty on the question of what exactly priests do. Well, the Hebrew writer was writing to an audience that probably used the services of priests regularly. But nonetheless, he takes a few verses to explain the duties and characteristics of priests here at the beginning of ch. 5. This is so that we can understand what he's talking about when he says that Jesus is our priest. What we'll see this morning is that a priest repairs and maintains the relationship between God and man, and that you need to take advantage of Jesus' priestly work in order to be connected to God.

In Luke 10 a Lawyer comes to Jesus with a great question. Luke 10.25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? Have you ever asked that question?... What shall I do to inherit eternal life? This Lawyer knew that life didn't end at the grave and he also knew God's commandements All of us from the moment we are born will live for eternity and when you pass away in this life you will either live in a glorious eternity with God's people or you will live in an eternity under the Judgement and wrath of God. You've got to settle that question now if you are not saved, don't wait till eternity. I want you to notice that the Lord Jesus refers this man back to the Law. The Law doesn't save anyone but the Law should bring conviction. There is no conversion without conviction and God uses the Law to convict us of our sin. In order for anyone to be saved they must be convicted of their sin and God's Word brings conviction! Now the Lord Jesus in answer to the Lawyer's question, "Who is my neighbour" tells the Lawyer about the Good Samaritan. The Priest and the Levite had the opportunity to be a good influence in bad world but they did nothing. Now for the Lawyer to hear from Jesus about a Samaritan being the compassionate hero of the Story would have been quiet a shock to the Lawyer. We can assume that the Lawyer was a Jew because he knew the Word of God. Yet in this story it is not the Priest or Levite who are the heroes. The Samaritan's love saw the wounded man. Love not only sees him but love goes to him. Love has compassion on him. Love binds his wounds. Love pays for recovery of the man.

The superiority of Christ in all things is the theme of the book of Hebrews. And as the writer has moved through this epistle, we have seen Christ revealed in many different aspects… in Hebrews 2:9 He is the object of faith, the vision that saves… In Hebrews 3:6 He is the Lord over all that belongs to the Father… we who are the spiritual house of God And in Hebrews 7:3 He is the son of God revealed in Melchizedek. Each of these revelations show a different face of the single truth which is being pressed, Jesus is superior to everything, and specifically to the Mosaic Law and ALL of its trappings and institutions.

How do God's people know that they are accepted with Him? Leviticus 9 looks forward to the evening sermon on the coming Lord's Day. In these twenty-four verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that God shows His people that they are accepted with Him by receiving their sacrifices, pronouncing His blessing, and displaying His glory.
