A Life Given in Worship Text: Leviticus 2–3 Introduction: Leviticus opens up with the three Savor offerings: Burnt Offering: Chapter 1; Meal Offering: Chapter 2; Peace Offering: Chapter 3 A wonderful application we get from this study, is that worship is something we should do every day. Our Worship should not only be constant, but a way of life. There are three words we will look at that have to do with a life given to worship: devotion, dependence, and delight. Worship is not just something we should do on Sundays, but a daily walk of fellowship with God. The theme for our study is "The Way of Holiness". Living a Holy life before God includes a life of Worship. In our last message, we saw that the way of holiness begins with sacrifice. Leviticus 1 taught us that sinful people cannot approach a holy God without atonement, substitution, and surrender. But now in Leviticus 2–3, the focus begins to shift from sacrifice alone to a life of worship and fellowship with God. The Lord did not redeem Israel simply to spare them from judgment—He redeemed them so they could walk with Him daily. That is the heart behind “The Way of Holiness.” Holiness is not merely avoiding sin; it is living a life devoted unto God and enjoying communion with Him. The grain offering and peace offering remind us that worship is not just about death at the altar—it is about daily devotion, dependence upon God, and delight in His presence. By way of introduction: let's look at three things: A. Redemption God did not bring Israel out of Egypt just to free them from slavery — He brought them out so they could belong to Him. In the same way, salvation is not simply about escaping judgment; it is about being brought near to God and living for Him. Many people want rescue without relationship, but redemption changes who we belong to and how we live. “I am the LORD your God, which have brought you out of the land of Egypt...” — Leviticus 11:45 Our Redemption is the key to our lifestyle. We have been changed, redeemed. Given a new heart. This is not a brand, or a trend, this is a new life. (Lipstick on a pig) B. Relationship God desired more than outward obedience from His people — He desired fellowship with them. The tabernacle was a reminder that God wanted to dwell among His people daily. Christianity is not merely a system of rules or church attendance; it is walking with God, talking with Him, depending upon Him, and enjoying His presence in everyday life. “And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.” — Exodus 25:8 God does not want us to compartmentalize. He wants us to live for Him. (Organic Safety illustration) C. Reverence Because God is holy, our lives should reflect reverence, worship, and obedience. Holiness is not perfection, but it is living with an awareness that we belong to God. The way we speak, think, treat others, work, worship, and live should all be shaped by the reality of His presence in our lives. “Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy.” — Leviticus 19:2 Reverence is different that Reference. Reverence for God is more than simply acknowledging that He exists. A reverent life recognizes Him as Lord, seeks to obey His Word, repents when sin is revealed, fears Him, and delights in His presence. Many people reference God with their lips, but reverence is demonstrated by a life that is surrendered to Him and shaped by His will. Transition Because Israel had been redeemed into relationship with a holy God, their lives were now to be marked by reverence and worship. In Leviticus 2–3, we see a life given in worship through dedication, dependence, and delight in God. I. Dedication (Leviticus 2) The grain offering pictures a life devoted and yielded to God in everyday worship. The offering was made from fine flour, showing purity and consistency in daily life. “...his offering shall be of fine flour...” — Leviticus 2:1 The grain offering points us to the person of Jesus Christ. J. Vernon McGee said, “God's goal for man is fulfilled in Jesus.” Every person who has ever lived has failed to perfectly obey God. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” — Romans 3:23 But Jesus never failed. His life was perfectly pure, perfectly balanced, and perfectly pleasing unto the Father. “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” — Matthew 3:17 The worshiper brought the fruit of his labor unto the Lord in devotion and gratitude. “And when any will offer a meat offering unto the LORD...” — Leviticus 2:1 The grain offering reminds us that Christ was completely consecrated to the Father's will. “For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.” — John 6:38 Because Christ gave Himself fully to the Father, believers are called to present themselves unto God as well. “Present your bodies a living sacrifice...” — Romans 12:1 The offering was called “a sweet savour unto ...
