This week we begin the Book of Leviticus. Often, people find Leviticus a difficult book to study. With the subject of sacrifice, ritual purity and impurity, clean and unclean foods, leprosy, holy time, and a season of release, what does any of this have to do with faith in Messiah Yeshua/Jesus?

This week we consider “calling,” as Vayikra means, “And He called.” The life of Moses provides a wonderful way to enter the heart of Leviticus, and we being with calling, a word of relationship. Give a listen!

Pekudei: Torah 23

The certificate of occupancy of a home, the assurance that the structure has been built to specifications. We, in faith, have an even greater assurance of our acceptance: the Holy Spirit. As the Book of Exodus concludes, Moses assembles and disassembles the Tabernacle during the time of sanctification of the priesthood. The Lord showed His approval of the project by filling the Tabernacle. What can we learn from this? Is there a way for us to understand the construction of the tabernacle in faith today? Give a listen.

Vayakhel: Torah 22

When the Lord gives us sacred work, does the immediacy of the new sacred work set aside His call for us to rest? The children of Israel were deep into the fabrication of the Tabernacle when they receive a reminder: rest. What do we learn from this? What do we learn from a dramatic linguistic parallel to the account of creation and the account of the Tabernacle? What of the language of work and service, and its connection to sacred purpose? So much to consider, yet it all still points us to the mission of the Great Commission. How does this all knit us together? Give a listen.
