Send us a textThe Danger of Going to Church. (Leviticus 10:1-20)WelcomeWelcome to a new episode of our podcast series delving into the Book of Leviticus. In this episode, we'll be exploring a fascinating and crucial passage - Leviticus 10:1-20. This portion of scripture highlights a danger associated with worship and the importance of approaching the divine with reverence and obedience. In this episode, we unpack this chapter  focusing on the disobedience of Aaron's sons, Nadab and Abihu, and the subsequent consequences. Their disobedience serves as a powerful lesson about the necessity of holiness and obedience in our approach to God.1. Introduction (Lev 10:1-7)We start with a background on the Tabernacle, the place of worship in the Old Testament, and the duties of the priests, specifically Aaron's sons. Nadab and Abihu's disobedience is a central theme, and we explore various interpretations of their act of offering "profane fire."2. The Consequences of Disobedience (Lev 10:1-7)Their disobedience resulted in a direct response from God, showcasing the principle that disobedience comes with severe consequences. We draw parallels to similar instances in the Old Testament, like the stories of Reuben and Simeon.3. The Lord’s Instructions (Lev 10:8-11)We delve into God's instructions to Aaron concerning the consumption of alcohol while serving in the Tabernacle. We emphasize the need for discernment between what is clean and unclean in both physical and spiritual aspects.4. Followed or Disregarded Instructions (Lev 10:12-18)The priests are instructed to complete their offering rituals, but they deviate from God's directives, showcasing the consequences of disobedience even in seemingly trivial matters.5. A Lesson on Obedience (Lev 10:19-20)Aaron's reaction to the deaths of his sons reveals a significant lesson: how disobedience can impact not just the transgressors but also those associated with them. This highlights the importance of personal responsibility and obedience in worship.6. New Testament Parallels: 1 Corinthians 11We draw parallels between the incident in Leviticus 10 and an event in the New Testament, specifically 1 Corinthians 11, where the principles of reverence, obedience, and respect for the sanctity of worship are reiterated.7. ConclusionWe conclude by emphasizing the overarching theme of the passage: the seriousness of approaching God in worship with obedience, reverence, and a heart focused on His glory rather than personal desires.Join us as we unravel the timeless wisdom encapsulated in Leviticus 10, exploring how these ancient teachings still hold relevance in our lives today.

In which I delve into the ancient scriptures, with a goal is to unravel its meanings, principles, and relevance to our lives today. I'm your Jeremy McCandless, and I'm thrilled to journey through this fascinating book with you.Episode Title: "The Guilt Offering: Exploring Restitution and Forgiveness.(Leviticus 5:14-6:7)"Today, we're exploring a crucial concept within the ancient scriptures—the concept of restitution and forgiveness as outlined in the 'Guilt Offering' described in Leviticus 5:14 to 6:7.Episode NotesIn today's episode, we're focusing on Leviticus 5:14-6:7, which introduces the Guilt Offering, shedding light on restitution and forgiveness. We'll also draw comparisons with the story from the New Testament, the tale of Zacchaeus in Luke 19:1-10, to gain a comprehensive understanding of this concept.The Guilt Offering, also known as the Trespass Offering, addresses unintentional sins against the Lord or another person. It emphasizes the need for making amends and restoring what rightfully belongs to God or others. We'll explore how this offering entails acknowledging faults, making amends, and restoring what rightfully belongs to God and where appropriate to others.One of the fundamental questions we'll address is whether making restitution is a prerequisite for salvation. We'll unravel this query by dissecting the story of Zacchaeus, understanding that salvation ultimately comes through faith in Christ's atoning sacrifice.We'll closely examine Leviticus 5:14-16, emphasizing that restitution within this context pertains to wrongfully appropriating something dedicated to the Lord for personal use. This trespass offering includes neglecting to pay tithes, misusing dedicated items, or failing to fulfill vows.Moving forward, I will attempt distinguish between objective guilt, which is a legal guilt due to an action committed, and emotional guilt, which is a feeling of guilt. We'll emphasize that in biblical terms, guilt is a state of being resulting from a violation of God's laws, irrespective of awareness at the time of the transgression.We'll look into Leviticus 6:1-5, highlighting that the Guilt Offering involves violations of property rights against individuals, outlining the procedure for restitution and the 20% penalty imposed. This payment serves as a reminder of the costly consequences of sin.Drawing parallels with the New Testament, I'll discuss the relevance of restitution today, emphasizing that while it's not a requirement for salvation, it demonstrates a responsible and ethical approach when wronging another person financially.In conclusion, we'll underline that sin is costly—it costs both God and humanity. The Guilt Offering symbolizes the need for restitution and the atonement for sins, providing valuable lessons for us to reflect upon in our modern lives.Thank you for joining us in this exploration of the Guilt Offering and tSupport the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

Send us a textPodcast Episode: "Remember This - The Sin Offering (Leviticus 4:1-5:13)"WelcomeIn today's episode, we unravel the profound significance of the sin offering, exploring how it speaks to believers and its relevance in our spiritual journey. Let's begin by reflecting on Leviticus 4:1-5:13.Episode NotesIn this episode, we'll explore the intricate ritual of the sin offering outlined in Leviticus 4:1-5:13, shedding light on its symbolism and implications for believers. The sin offering is a poignant reminder that, as redeemed individuals, we may still unintentionally transgress God's commandments. Despite the unintentional nature of these sins, they must be acknowledged and atoned for.Introduction to the Sin OfferingThe sin offering was an essential element of ancient Israelite worship, designed to address unintentional sins. It symbolically transferred the sin of the offeror to the sacrificial animal, emphasizing the importance of atonement and restoration of fellowship with God.Categories of OfferingsThe sin offering was applicable to various categories of individuals, emphasizing the universal reality of sin among both leaders and ordinary citizens. The categories included the anointed priest, the whole congregation, rulers, and common individuals.Sacrificial RitualsThe rituals associated with the sin offering involved a detailed process, depending on the category of the offeror. The ritual typically involved the presentation of an unblemished animal, the sprinkling of blood, and the burning of certain portions on the altar.Unintentional Sin and AtonementUnintentional sins, often sins of neglect or oversight, were an inherent part of human experience. The sin offering highlighted the necessity of acknowledging and atoning for these unintended transgressions. Through confession and the blood of Christ, believers find forgiveness and cleansing from all unrighteousness.Connection to the New CovenantUnder the new covenant, the sacrificial rituals described in Leviticus are no longer applicable in the same literal sense. Christ's ultimate sacrifice on the cross serves as the atonement for all sins, providing believers with forgiveness and cleansing. Confession of known sins is a crucial aspect of maintaining a strong spiritual relationship with God.ConclusionIn this episode, we've delved into Leviticus 4:1-5:13 and explored the profound significance of the sin offering.

In this episode, we delve into the second chapter, focusing on the grain offering, a vital aspect of the sacrifices detailed in Leviticus. Previously, we discussed the burnt offering in chapter one. The grain offering, covered in this episode, comprises both cooked and uncooked offerings made of fine flour, oil, and frankincense.Exploring the Grain Offering (Leviticus 2:1-3)In Leviticus 2:1-3, we encounter the specifics of the grain offering. When presenting a grain offering, fine flour mixed with oil and frankincense was offered, symbolizing the essence of life and the toil of the offerer. Olive oil, representing God's enduring spirit, bound the flour into a cake, creating a rich and desirable offering. Additionally, salt was a crucial ingredient, signifying the covenant promise. A portion of this mixture was burned on the altar, producing a sweet aroma, a memorial to remind the worshipper of God's graciousness and blessings. The remainder was designated for the priests, emphasizing the sacredness and exclusivity of the offering.The Symbolism of Ingredients (Leviticus 2:4-13)In verses 4-13, we observe the diverse forms the grain offering could take, from unleavened cakes to wafers and various methods of baking.
