Laws Regarding Childbirth and Leprosy (Leviticus 12-14)

In this lesson we first tackle laws related to childbirth, which shed light on important passages in the New Testament related to the birth of Jesus. Next, we turn to laws regarding various forms of leprosy: leprosy of the skin (infectious disease), and leprosy of garments and the home (mold or mildew). We consider the

Clean and Unclean Animals (Leviticus 11)

Should Christians today care about the distinction between the clean animals (which could be eaten by Jews) vs. the unclean animals (which could not)? Several passages in the New Testament explain that we are no longer bound by these rules. However, early Christians saw in them foreshadowings of important truths that continue. In this lesson

Two Priests Struck Dead (Leviticus 9-10)

The Lord struck dead Nadab and Abihu for offering unauthorized incense. Why was the Lord so angry that He killed them? If the priests of the old covenant foreshadow us (as members of Christ’s priesthood) what are we to learn from this disturbing story? Also, has God become kinder and gentler under the new covenant?

Washed, Clothed and Anointed (Leviticus 8)

Why should we care about the ordination of the first priests? If we study this passage carefully, we may find ourselves hidden in the story.

Romans in One Lesson

The reactions from two Christians who heard this message first-hand: “This lesson demolished hundreds of years of false teaching coming out of the Protestant Reformation, and better equipped me to defend the 'kingdom-Christian message' against a wide range of opponents. I did not expect that!"” "For the first time in over forty years as a

Three More Sacrifices: Why They Still Matter to Us (Leviticus 3-7)

In this lesson, we explore the remaining three offerings described in Leviticus 1-5: the peace offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering. Hidden in the details we find faith-building foreshadowings of Jesus. But the details also speak about us! Peter and Paul address the Christians as a nation of priests who are called to offer our own

Burnt Offerings and Grain Offerings (Leviticus 1-2)

How did Jesus see the Law of Moses? Did he consider it to be a burden, a long list of technical rules, or even as something impossible for people to follow? We begin this lesson by looking at the Law through the eyes of Jesus, who accused Israel of missing the main point, and "majoring

Psalm 5 - In the Morning You Shall Hear My Voice

David recounted his devotion to morning prayer in proclaiming: “In the morning You shall hear my voice.” Prayer warriors through the ages, including even Jesus, have been devoted to early morning prayer. However, does the hour at which we pray really matter? What is so special about rising early to pray? We consider insights from early Christian writer
