Getting ready for Leviticus (for leaders but open to anyone)
July 22, 2024 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
The book of Leviticus is potentially one of the most unfamiliar parts of the Bible for most Christians. It is quickly dismissed as “boring”, “irrelevant”, or even “obsolete”. This is a shame as the book is theologically rich and almost essential in understanding the full- orbed message of the gospel. In term 3, we will be hearing God speak to us as we unpack this Old Testament book.
To help us mine the depths of Leviticus, we are having Dr Geoff Harper (Director of Research and Lecturer in Old Testament at SMBC) come along and take us through an overview of the book on Monday 22nd July 7:30-9pm at church. He is one of the world experts on this book. The night is particularly for all our Growth Group leaders, but open to anyone in our church family who is keen.
“For me, Leviticus was a book that felt legalistic, outdated and so repetitive. However, once working through this part of God’s word with guidance it was clear this is a book of grace upon grace upon grace. I was able to see the lengths a holy God would go to, to dwell with a sinful people as his treasured possession. Oh the grace of God, to then be fully realised in the person and work of Jesus the Christ as the fulfilment of Leviticus.” – Connor.
