As we head into fall, Pastor Andrew summarizes our journey this past year and invites us to live into the call of serving one another in humility.

As we wrap up our summer series in Leviticus, pastor Andrew Schey helps unpack the purpose of God's law and how a posture of repentance and humility lead to richness of relationship with God.

In Leviticus 25, Andrew Schey shows us how God declares a way of life that provides rest and care for creation, a way of life that upholds a protects those who are less fortunate in society, and a warning to those who store up resources out of greed.

Leviticus 24 presents us with another sobering moment, reminding us not only of the holiness of God, but the dignity ascribed to humanity. As Brian Sumner reminds us, there are plenty of people we encounter each day who don't know Jesus - but it's up to us to put aside our excuses and meet them right where they're at.

In our culture, celebrations center on us - not our Savior. In this message from Brock Snook, we trace the 7 feasts outlined by God in Leviticus 23 that not only serve as reminders of his presence throughout the calendar year, but also foreshadow the perfectly orchestrated arrival of Jesus Christ.

Do we live a life devoted to God? Andrew Schey discusses how spiritual practices help us attend to the presence and purposes of God, nourishing our souls and changing us from the inside out.

In an emotional message from Andrew Schey, we explore Leviticus 20 and the unfortunate ways its topics still very much apply to our cultural moment.

"Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy." In a survey of various laws, Andrew Schey unpacks what it means to look like God, to walk like him, and to talk like him. As we see in Leviticus 19, it is only through the intersection of holiness and our social relationships that we can truly live out God's call on our lives.

WARNING: This podcast may not be suitable for young listeners. In this message, Andrew Schey tackles the loaded topic of sexuality as found in Leviticus 18. In this passage and throughout the rest of the Bible, we find that God wants us to extend his lordship over our sexual ethic and, contrary to popular opinion, Jesus does anything but diminish our sexual standards. So what does it look like to walk a middle road in a world of extremes?

In Leviticus 16, we see a powerful foreshadowing of the atonement we have received in Jesus. Brian Sumner unpacks this important chapter and what it means for us today.
