THE BLOOD FROM HEAD TO TOE. LEVITICUS 8:22–24 LEVITICUS 8:22–24 KJV During the consecration of Aaron and his sons, Moses placed the blood of the ram upon Aaron's right ear, right thumb, and right great toe. These unusual details present a powerful picture of complete surrender to God: a consecrated ear that hears God's voice, a consecrated hand that performs God's work, and a consecrated foot that walks in God's ways. This message traces the sacrifice, blood, cleansing, consecration, and glory found throughout Leviticus 7–9 and shows how the Old Testament sacrifices ultimately point us to Jesus Christ and His sufficient sacrifice at Calvary. Before the fire fell in Leviticus 9, blood was shed and applied in Leviticus 8. God still calls His blood-bought people to belong completely to Him—from head to toe.

What does the Bible really say about pride, and how can pride quietly destroy our relationship with God and the people we love most? In this Bible study, we take a deeper look at the sin of pride—a heart problem that can produce arrogance, selfishness, stubbornness, anger, contention, unforgiveness, and spiritual independence from God. Proverbs 15:25 gives us a sobering warning: "The LORD will destroy the house of the proud." This powerful statement should cause every Christian to stop and examine his or her heart. Pride can place our ego on the throne, damage marriages and families, and prevent us from saying, "I was wrong. Please forgive me." But there is hope. God gives grace to the humble. We will examine biblical characteristics of pride and consider practical ways to fight pride in our daily lives: 🙏 Regularly examine our hearts 🙌 Give God the glory for our abilities and accomplishments 🕊️ Practice humility and dependence upon God ✝️ Make Jesus Christ our example of humility John 15:5 reminds us: "...without me ye can do nothing." The battle against pride is ultimately a battle over who sits on the throne of our hearts. Pride exalts self, but humility exalts Christ. As we yield ourselves to God, His grace works within us, giving us both the desire and the ability to do His will. 💧 God's grace flows to the low places. Let us humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God and allow His grace to transform our hearts, our marriages, our families, and our service for Christ.

This sermon was recorded by Dale Hawks of White Plains Baptist Church at the 1973 tent meeting at Brother Don Greens in Lansing Michigan.

The question we have to ask ourselves is: Is God still giving new revelation today? Few questions are more important for the church and the generation in which we live. How does God speak to his people? Has he given us the final and sufficient revelation in the Holy Scriptures? Or must we as Christians continue to seek new revelations, new prophecies, new visions, and new words from God? In this message, William Greendyk addresses the sufficiency of Scripture in four points: 1. The Scriptures are God's revelation. 2. The Scriptures are God's complete revelation. 3. The Scriptures are God's sufficient revelation. 4. The danger of seeking new revelation.
