  • Leviticus 10 "Worship Gone Wrong"
    2026/06/20
    03) Leviticus 10 Title: "Worship Gone Wrong" Text: Leviticus 10 Introduction: In Leviticus 9, God had just shown His approval of the worship by sending fire from heaven to consume the sacrifice. The people rejoiced, and God's glory appeared before them. But in the very next chapter, Aaron's sons, Nadab and Abihu, brought what the Bible calls "strange fire" before the Lord—something God had not commanded. They may have intended to worship God, but they chose to do it their own way rather than God's way. As a result, fire came out from the Lord and consumed them, and they died before the Lord. The lesson is sobering: sincerity does not replace obedience, and a good intention does not justify disobedience. (Worship Gone Wrong) Doing the right thing does not justify doing it the wrong way. In The Lord of the Rings, Boromir genuinely wanted to save his people from destruction. His desire was noble, and his goal was good. Yet he became convinced that using a dangerous power was justified because of the outcome he hoped to achieve. In the end, he tried to accomplish the right goal in the wrong way, and it brought heartache instead of help. The Ring symbolizes a temptation we all face: the belief that if our motives are good enough, God will overlook our methods. Leviticus 10 teaches the opposite. God cares not only about what we do, but also how we do it. Leviticus 10 teaches a similar lesson. Nadab and Abihu were not rejecting God, nor were they refusing to worship. They desired to approach God, but they did so in a way He had not commanded. Their story reminds us that good intentions do not replace obedience. A good goal does not justify the wrong method. God must be worshiped God's way. Read Leviticus 10:1-11 Before we look at Nadab and Abihu, it is important to understand that this is not the first time someone tried to do the right thing in the wrong way. Throughout the Bible, we find people whose goals may have seemed good, but whose actions did not align with God's instructions. A. Cain Cain wanted to worship God and brought an offering before Him. The problem was not that he refused to worship, but that he refused to worship God's way. God accepted Abel's offering but rejected Cain's because obedience matters. - Cain brought an offering to God. - "And Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD." — Genesis 4:3 - The problem wasn't that Cain refused to worship. The problem was that he refused to worship God's way. - God accepted Abel's sacrifice but rejected Cain's. - "But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect." — Genesis 4:5 - Lesson: We must come to God His Way. B. Uzzah Uzzah wanted to protect the Ark of the Covenant from falling. His intentions were likely good, but he ignored God's command concerning the Ark. In reaching out to steady it, he violated God's instructions and suffered the consequences. - David was bringing the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem. That was a good thing. - When the oxen stumbled, Uzzah reached out to steady the Ark. - "And Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it..." — 2 Samuel 6:6 - His intentions were probably good. - But God had already instructed that the Ark was to be carried by the Levites and not touched. - "And God smote him there for his error..." — 2 Samuel 6:7 - Lesson: Good intentions do not cancel God's commands. C. King Saul Saul claimed he spared the best sheep and oxen so they could be sacrificed unto the Lord. His goal sounded spiritual, but God had already commanded complete obedience. Samuel reminded him, "To obey is better than sacrifice." - God commanded Saul to completely destroy Amalek. - Instead, Saul spared King Agag and kept the best animals. - Then Saul claimed he intended to sacrifice them unto the Lord. "The people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God..." — 1 Samuel 15:15 - Sounds spiritual. Sounds reasonable. But Samuel replied: "To obey is better than sacrifice..." — 1 Samuel 15:22 Lesson: A spiritual excuse does not justify disobedience. In each of these examples, the issue was not necessarily the goal. The issue was the method. They attempted to accomplish something good while disregarding what God had said. That same principle lies at the heart of Leviticus 10. Nadab and Abihu wanted to worship, but they approached God in a way He had not commanded. Their story reminds us that sincerity does not replace obedience. A good goal does not justify the wrong method. God must be worshiped God's way. Outline: I. The Cause of the Judgment: Why did it happen? "And Nadab and Abihu... offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not." — Leviticus 10:1 - They approached God in a way He had not commanded. - The issue was not the desire to worship, but the refusal to worship God's way. Cain, Uzzah, Saul, and Boromir all illustrate the same principle: - A good goal does not justify the wrong method. - God is loving, ...

  • Leviticus 8,9 "A Life of Purpose"
    2026/06/13

    Leviticus 8 and 9 record the consecration of Aaron and his sons as priests before the Lord. They were set apart by God for a specific purpose and called to serve Him according to His will. For believers today, this provides a beautiful picture of how we have been set apart for service. Because of Jesus Christ, our Great High Priest, not only can we go into the presence of God, we can live a life that pleases and brings glory to Him. These chapters remind us that a life of obedience matters. As we faithfully follow God's calling, whether in the Great Commission, our homes, our churches, or our daily vocations, we experience the joy, peace, and purpose that come from pursuing a life of holiness.

  • Leviticus 6,7 "Keep the Fire Burning"
    2026/06/06
    Title: "Keep the Fire Burning" Text: Leviticus 6–7 Theme: Remain faithful and continue walking with God Leviticus 6–7 revisits the offerings already introduced in chapters 1–5, but now God gives instructions specifically to the priests. The emphasis shifts from bringing the sacrifice to maintaining the worship. The priests were responsible for handling the offerings properly, teaching God's people, and keeping the altar fire burning continually. The lesson is simple: worship is not occasional—it is ongoing. Introduction In our previous messages, we learned how sinners approach God through sacrifice, how worship shapes daily life, and how sin must be dealt with through atonement. Now God turns His attention to the priests. The sacrifices have been given, but who will tend the altar? Who will maintain the worship? Who will keep the fire burning? Leviticus 6–7 reminds us that holiness is not merely beginning a relationship with God—it is faithfully continuing in fellowship with Him. A. Continuance God desires continual worship, not occasional worship. "The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out." — Leviticus 6:13 Illustration: Keeping a Campfire Burning B. Commitment The priests were entrusted with daily responsibilities before God. "And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning..." — Leviticus 6:12 Illustration: Marriage C. Consistency Faithfulness is demonstrated through daily obedience. "This is the law of the burnt offering..." — Leviticus 6:9 Illustration: One of the greatest tools The altar fire was not maintained through occasional effort. Day after day the priests tended the altar and carried out God's instructions. In these chapters we learn that a life of holiness requires continual worship, faithful service, and guarded fellowship. I. Maintaining the Fire (6:8–13) The priests kept the altar fire burning continually. "The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out." — Leviticus 6:13 Theme: Obedience The priests were responsible for the altar. God gave specific instructions: - Remove the ashes (6:10) - Change garments (6:10–11) - Add wood every morning (6:12) - Keep the fire burning continually (6:12–13) This wasn't exciting work. It was daily work. The fire represented continual worship. The sacrifices never stopped because the people's need never stopped. Application Just as the priests maintained the altar daily, believers must cultivate daily fellowship with God through prayer, Scripture, worship, and obedience. II. Ministering Faithfully (6:14–7:10) The priests faithfully carried out God's instructions regarding the offerings. “This is the law of the meat offering...” — Leviticus 6:14 “This is the law of the trespass offering...” — Leviticus 7:1 Theme: Faithfulness. These verses explain how the priests handled: - the meat offering (6:14–23) - the sin offering (6:24–30) - the trespass offering (7:1–10) Repeatedly God says: "This is the law of..." The priests were not free to improvise. The priests served God's way. Every offering had: - specific instructions - specific procedures - specific purposes The priests handled holy things. "It is most holy." — Leviticus 6:17 The phrase "most holy" appears repeatedly throughout these chapters. Application God's work is to be handled with reverence and faithfulness. Worship is not about doing what feels right but honoring God according to His Word. III. Meeting in Fellowship (Leviticus 7:11–38) The peace offering reminded Israel that God desired fellowship with His people. Through sacrifice and thanksgiving they could enjoy communion with Him. “And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings...” — Leviticus 7:11 “He shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving...” — Leviticus 7:13 Theme: Fellowship The peace offering celebrated fellowship between God and His people. God instructed how fellowship was maintained. The sacrifice had to be: - offered properly - eaten properly - treated as holy Nothing was to be careless or casual. God warned against uncleanness. "The soul that eateth... having his uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut off from his people." — Leviticus 7:20 Fellowship could be disrupted by uncleanness. Application Our relationship with God should never be treated casually. Fellowship is maintained when we walk in obedience, quickly deal with sin, and remain near to the Lord. Christ Connection The priests continually ministered because sacrifices continually needed to be offered. But Jesus became: - our perfect sacrifice - our great High Priest "But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood." — Hebrews 7:24 The fire never went out because God's people continually needed access to Him. Today our access is found forever in Jesus Christ. Conclusion The way of holiness is not built on occasional spiritual experiences. It is built through continual worship, faithful service, and ...

  • Leviticus 4,5 "The Ugly Truth"
    2026/05/30

    eviticus 4 introduces the sin offering and Leviticus 5 introduces the trespass (guilt) offering.

    The emphasis shifts from: devotion worship fellowship

    to: guilt cleansing forgiveness restoration

    The lesson is simple: Sin is never ignored by God, minimized by God, or excused by God. It must be confessed, atoned for, and forsaken.

    In our last message, we learned that worship is the life we live before God every day—our devotion, our dependence, and our delight. But even those who love God still struggle with sin. Leviticus 4–5 reminds us that fellowship with God can be hindered when sin enters our lives. God does not ignore sin, excuse sin, or overlook sin. Because He is holy, sin must be dealt with. These chapters teach us that guilt is real, sin is serious, and forgiveness is only possible through the sacrifice God provides.

    Introduction A. Reality Sin is not merely a mistake or weakness—it is a reality in every human life. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” — Romans 3:23

    B. Responsibility God holds people accountable for their sin, whether intentional or unintentional. “If a soul shall sin through ignorance...” — Leviticus 4:2

    C. Restoration God provides a way for sin to be forgiven and fellowship to be restored. “...and it shall be forgiven him.” — Leviticus 4:20

    Because God is holy and man is sinful, guilt cannot simply be ignored. Leviticus 4–5 teaches us that sin must be recognized, confessed, and atoned for. We see this through conviction, confession, and cleansing.

    Outline I. Conviction (Leviticus 4) Sin must first be recognized before it can be forgiven.

    Sin Is Specific “If a soul shall sin through ignorance...” — Leviticus 4:2

    God names specific sins and specific offenders: - priest - congregation - ruler - common person No one is exempt from accountability.

    Sin Brings Guilt “...he is guilty.” — Leviticus 4:13 Guilt is not merely a feeling. It is a condition before God.

    Sin Requires a Substitute “And he shall lay his hand upon the bullock's head...” — Leviticus 4:4 Again we see substitution. The innocent dies for the guilty. Christ Connection “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin...” — 2 Corinthians 5:21

    II. Confession (Leviticus 5:1–6) Once guilt is recognized, it must be acknowledged before God.

    Honest Admission “When he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess...” — Leviticus 5:5 God's answer is not denial. God's answer is confession.

    Personal Responsibility The offender could not blame: - circumstances - upbringing - others

    The sin had to be owned. “I acknowledged my sin unto thee...” — Psalm 32:5

    Genuine Repentance Confession involves agreement with God about our sin. “If we confess our sins...” — 1 John 1:9

    III. Cleansing (Leviticus 5:6–19) God not only exposes sin; He provides forgiveness.

    Atonement Is Provided “And the priest shall make an atonement for him...” — Leviticus 5:10

    Forgiveness comes through God's provision.Restitution Is Required

    The trespass offering teaches that sin often affects others. “Then he shall make amends...” — Leviticus 5:16

    True repentance seeks restoration where possible. Forgiveness Is Promised

    Repeated throughout these chapters: “...and it shall be forgiven him.” — Leviticus 4:20, 26, 31, 35; 5:10

    God delights in forgiving those who come His way. Christ Connection Jesus became: - our sin offering - our trespass offering

    “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree...” — 1 Peter 2:24

    Conclusion Leviticus 4–5 reminds us that sin is never vague, harmless, or insignificant. It brings guilt, damages fellowship, and separates people from God. Yet God, in His mercy, provided a sacrifice so sinners could be forgiven and restored. Today we look not to the blood of bulls and goats, but to Jesus Christ, the perfect sacrifice for sin. When conviction leads to confession, God provides cleansing. That is the way of holiness.

    A special thank you to my Friend Michael Barnette for the song "All things new" and to my friend Dave Compton for the opening remarks.

  • Leviticus 2,3 "A Life Given in Worship"
    2026/05/23
    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 ...

  • Psalm 51 "How to Come Back like David"
    2026/05/19
    The podcast will be now released on Saturdays. Enjoy this bonus episode from Psalm 51. Title: How to Come back like David Text: Psalm 51 Theme: How David, a man after God’s own heart, recovered after committing a great sin. When something gets out of place, you don’t ignore it.. You don’t say, “Well maybe it’ll fix itself eventually.” No — you deal with it immediately. Because the longer it stays out of place, the worse the damage gets.That’s true physically. But it’s also true spiritually. Psalm 51 is about a believer whose life got out of place. Read Psalm 51:1-3 It has been said, that when we read the story of David that we see that he was a great sinner, but we also see that David was a great repenter. David is known in the Bible for his comebacks. Psalm 51 covers what may be his greatest comeback of all. "Davids Great Comeback" Introduction: Psalm 51 is dealing with sin in the life of the Believer... Psalm 51:5-19 (When we read Psalm 51...) A. Ability to Sin: Psalm 51:5; "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me." - There is a reality that as Christians, we can still sin. A Christian cannot lose Salvation because of sin, but we can lose our Fellowship with God, each other, and the Ability to grow. - The Romans 7 Tongue Twister "The things I want to do are things I don't want to do. The Things I don't want to do are the things I do."; "O Wretched man (exhausted man) that I am" "There is therefore no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus..." B. The Affect of Sin v. 6 "Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom." - David realizes the issue was deeper than one moment with Bathsheba. The problem started in the heart long before it showed up outwardly. God desires truth in the inward parts. - Sin has a way of exposing the inward person. God wasn’t just after David’s actions — God wanted David’s heart. - Jesus said, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh) God is not interested in the surface… He wants truth on the inside. - (Illustration) It is amazing how so many Christians, can provoke, prod, and play around with sin… and the moment: someone falls we are quick to Judge and hold on to grudges; we are quick to want to give up; we are quick to say things like “ I don’t know what happened”; or "things happen for a reason" - Difference between Sampson & Lot and Joseph and Job (UFC Example... "Idk what happened it happened so fast" - Sin has consequences... C. The Acknowledgment of Sin v.7-19 - (Tell the story very briefly) - David committed adultery, tried to cover it up, and before it was over, Uriah was dead because of David’s choices - God sent Nathan to speak to David about his sin (2 Samuel 12:1-7) - Nathan told David about a rich man who had many flocks and herds, but took a poor man’s only little lamb to prepare a meal for a traveler. David became angry at the rich man, not realizing Nathan was describing David’s own sin. - The lamb of the story was Bathsheba. David was quick to judge someone whom he thought had stolen a lamb, but he was guilty of stealing Bathsheba. David was quick to judge someone who he thought had killed an animal, but he was guilty of killing Uriah. - When we are backslidden, we tend to judge people for less sin than we have in our own lives. - Nathan looked at David and said … “Thou art the man”. The Man of God gave the Word of God which brought Conviction to the heart of David. “Thou art the man!” This is why so many people love Psalm 51, and it's key to David's comeback. Accountability vs ownership (This is the best Biblical story on it). David was ready to hold the man who stole the lamb accountable, then he realized it was him which led him to take ownership. David acknowledges his sin and wants nothing more than to be back in Fellowship with God. Realization of sin = Conviction. The Repentance (The Change of Mind) v.7 — David admits he is unclean and needs God to wash him “Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean…” v.8 — David admits his sin has broken him emotionally and spiritually “Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.” v.9–12 — David admits his heart is wrong and he needs restoration and fellowship with God “Create in me a clean heart, O God… Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation…” v.13–17 — David wants to get right with God and be useful again He wants to teach others, praise God again, and offer God a broken and repentant heart instead of empty sacrifice. This is a man who wants to get back into fellowship with the Father but has fallen flat on his face. This is how a man after God's own heart acknowledges his sin and comes back to God. Outline: How to come back like DavidPsalm 51:1-4 I. Rely (Confidence) v.1 - David...

  • Leviticus 1 "The Way Begins with Sacrifice"
    2026/05/12

    Title: "The Way Begins with Sacrifice" Text: Leviticus

    We now come to the book of Leviticus. So far we have covered the four Great events of Genesis (The Creation, The Fall, the Flood, and the Tower of Babel.) We then looked at the four important people of Genesis (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph). We then saw Israel triumphantly delivered out of Egypts bondage through the blood of the Passover Lamb. We learned about the Red Sea parting, the law, and the Tabernacle. “And the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.” — Exodus 40:34. Leviticus is a marvelous study that will answer the question of how a sinful people can not only approach, but also live for a Holy God.

    Leviticus: - 3rd book of the Bible (3 of 5 Books of Moses) - 27 chapters and 859 verses

    The title of this season is “The Way of Holiness.” The word Holiness means to be set apart unto God—to belong to Him and reflect His character. God's presence, purity, and perfection are all connected to His Holiness. Isaiah spoke of “The way of holiness,” in Isaiah 35. "And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein." - Isaiah 35:8

    What is the Way of Holiness? The way of Holiness is a path where God’s redeemed people walk with Him. This is what Leviticus is about. God not only rescues Israel from Egypt; He is teaches them how to live. 1 Peter 1:16 (KJV): "Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy".

    Sinful people cannot approach God without Sacrifice. Therefore, this is where Leviticus starts. The title of the message is "The Way Begins with Sacrifice". Remember, Holiness always starts with us coming to God His way.

  • Exodus 1-140 "The Wonderful Book of Deliverance"
    2026/05/05
    Title: The Wonderful Book of Deliverance Text: Exodus Exodus – “A departure” or “a way out” Second Book of the Bible, second book of the Pentateuch (1st five books, means 5 books. They are the books of Moses) Exodus is literally the sequel to Genesis. Nothing is started and nothing is finished. Genesis covers a time period of 2,315 or so years. Exodus covers a time period of 216 years (focus is really on 94 of those years. There is a lapse of time between Genesis and Exodus, however it is a continuation of the story of Genesis. Genesis 15:13 13And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; Exodus 12:40 40Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. There is a lapse in time of at least 3 ½ centuries between the two books. 70 people went into Egypt, now they are numbered at over 2 million Joseph died, there was a new Pharaoh, and the people were enslaved Theme: Redemption through the Blood Hebrews 11:23-29 23By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment. 24By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; 25Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 26Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. 27By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. 28Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. 29By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned. Israel is in Bondage 1-11 The Passover 12 The Exodus of Israel 13-19 The Law is given 20 The Tabernacle is built in 35-40 Theme: Redemption through the Blood Key Verse: Exodus 12:13 13And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. Read Title: “The Wonderful Book of Deliverance” to introduce this book we are going to focus on the theme and key verse. Type – “A divinely appointed illustration of some scriptural truth.” Derived from Greek word “tupos” – impression, stamp, pattern, or form “A type must never be used to teach a doctrine, but only to illustrate a doctrine elsewhere explicitly taught.” – Dr. J. Edwin Hartill - Egypt is a type of the World - Pharaoh is a type of Satan - Israel is a type of the total depravity of man and our need for a Savior - The Passover is a type of Jesus Christ “What redeemed Israel from the house of bondage was the blood of the Passover lamb. Israel sheltered behind that blood, feasted on the slain lamb, and trusted God for salvation full and free. Suddenly, the people were set free from bondage and death. Pharoah’s power was broken, and Egypt lay in ruins under the judgment of God. The whole story is a studied Old Testament type of our redemption by the blood of Jesus, the Passover Lamb.” – Dr. John Phillips The Passover To deliver the children of Israel from bondage in Egypt The 10th and final plague Water turned to blood Frogs infested the land Lice throughout the land Grievous swarm of flies Cattle of the Egyptians died, but the Israelites cattle lived Boils to man and beast Hail Locust Darkness The Firstborn slain Psalm 78:49-51 King James Version (KJV) 49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.50 He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham: Outline: I. The Captivity (Egypt a type of the world) Exodus 2:23 23And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage. They were in slavery – in bondage - They could barely bear their own burdens Sin has this world in bondage – The sin problem must be dealt with. II.
