  • Leviticus 23:26-32 | THE Holy Day

    Preacher: Joel Fair

    Leviticus 23:15-22

    Psalm 99

    The LORD reigns; let the peoples tremble! He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!
    The LORD is great in Zion; he is exalted over all the peoples.
    Let them praise your great and awesome name! Holy is he!
    The King in his might loves justice. You have established equity; you have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.
    Exalt the LORD our God; worship at his footstool! Holy is he!
    Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel also was among those who called upon his name. They called to the LORD, and he answered them.
    In the pillar of the cloud he spoke to them; they kept his testimonies and the statute that he gave them.
    O LORD our God, you answered them; you were a forgiving God to them, but an avenger of their wrongdoings.
    Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy mountain; for the LORD our God is holy!

    The Lexham Bible Dictionary

    "holy” (קֹדֶשׁ, qodesh), which specifies the nature of the assembly as being set apart for God.

    The Essence of the Old Testament: A Survey - Hindson &Yates

    The holiness of God is the dominant theological theme of Leviticus. God is pictured as an ever-present personal holy God who demands holiness from those who want to have a covenant relationship with Him. People, animals, and even plants are to be “holy” unto the Lord (Lev 11:44–45; 19:24), as are the priests, Levites, and the tabernacle equipment (Lev 21:6; 23:34; 27:9).

    The Lexham Bible Dictionary

    Atonement is one of the few theological terms with roots in the English language. It is the process by which two (typically estranged) parties are made “at-one” with each other. The Old Testament usually mentions atonement in the context of worship, primarily in reference to temple sacrifices. The word does not occur in the New Testament, but the concept is implied throughout—particularly in the metaphoric imagery used to describe the saving work of Christ.

    R.C. Sproul

    The prefix ex means “out of” or “from,” so expiation has to do with removing something or taking something away. In biblical terms, it has to do with taking away guilt through the payment of a penalty or the offering of an atonement.

    Psalm 35:13–14

    But I, when they were sick— I wore sackcloth; I afflicted myself with fasting; I prayed with head bowed on my chest.
    I went about as though I grieved for my friend or my brother; as one who laments his mother, I bowed down in mourning.

    Leviticus 23:29–30

    For whoever is not afflicted on that very day shall be cut off from his people.
    And whoever does any work on that very day, that person I will destroy from among his people.

    Leviticus 16:29–34

    “And it shall be a statute to you forever that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict yourselves and shall do no work, either the native or the stranger who sojourns among you.
    For on this day shall atonement be made for you to cleanse you. You shall be clean before the LORD from all your sins.
    It is a Sabbath of solemn rest to you, and you shall afflict yourselves; it is a statute forever.
    And the priest who is anointed and consecrated as priest in his father’s place shall make atonement, wearing the holy linen garments.
    He shall make atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make atonement for the tent of meeting and for the altar, and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.
    And this shall be a statute forever for you, that atonement may be made for the people of Israel once in the year because of all their sins.” And Aaron did as the LORD commanded Moses.

    Leviticus 11:44–45

    For I am the LORD your God. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am holy. You shall not defile yourselves with any swarming thing that crawls on the ground.
    For I am the LORD who brought you up out of the land of Egypt to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.”

    Hebrews 9:11–15

    But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation)
    he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.
    For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the purification of the flesh,
    how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.
    Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.

    Hebrews 9:24–28

    For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.
    Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own,
    for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
    And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,
    so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

    1 John 1:7, 2:3

    But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin...
    And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.

    1 Peter 1:15–16

    but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,
    since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

    Romans 12:1

    I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

    C. H. Spurgeon

    Come, let us go home with the High Priest; let us clap our hands with joy, for he liveth, he liveth; the atonement is accepted, and we are accepted too; the scapegoat is gone, our sins are gone with it. Let us then go to our houses with thankfulness, and let us come up to his gates with praise, for he hath loved his people, he hath blessed his children, and given unto us a day of atonement, and a day of acceptance, and a year of jubilee. Praise ye the Lord? Praise ye the Lord!

  • Leviticus 23:9-14 | Feast of Firstfruits

    Preacher: Joel Fair

    Leviticus 23:9-14

    Deuteronomy 26:5–11

    5 “And you shall make response before the LORD your God, ‘A wandering Aramean was my father. And he went down into Egypt and sojourned there, few in number, and there he became a nation, great, mighty, and populous.
    6 And the Egyptians treated us harshly and humiliated us and laid on us hard labor. 7 Then we cried to the LORD, the God of our fathers, and the LORD heard our voice and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression.
    8 And the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with great deeds of terror, with signs and wonders.
    9 And he brought us into this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
    10 And behold, now I bring the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, O LORD, have given me.’ And you shall set it down before the LORD your God and worship before the LORD your God.
    11 And you shall rejoice in all the good that the LORD your God has given to you and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the sojourner who is among you.

    Psalm 67:6–7

    6 The earth has yielded its increase; God, our God, shall bless us.
    7 God shall bless us; let all the ends of the earth fear him!

    1 Corinthians 15:20–23

    _ 20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
    21 For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead.
    22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
    23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.
    
Hebrews 13:12
    12 So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood.
    
Hebrews 13:15
    15 Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.
    


1 Corinthians 6:11
    11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
    
1 Peter 2:4–5
    4 As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious,
    5 you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ._

  • Leviticus 23:4-8 | Feast of Unleavened Bread

    Preacher: Joel Fair

    Leviticus 23:4-8

    Four Truths to take away from the Feast of Unleavened Bread

    1. Remember what you have been saved from - death and slavery
    2. Remember who you have been saved to - God himself
    3. Trust in the strong hand of the Lord - your Savior & Provider
    4. Your faith-filled obedience to God's Word is an act of worship - a pleasing aroma to God

      5. Leviticus 23:4-8 - Feast of Unleavened Bread

      Michael Thigpen

      The feast was to be a memorial of the Hebrews’ hasty departure, their waiting for and reception of salvation from Egyptian slavery after the final plague.

      Numbers 28:23–24

      23 You shall offer these besides the burnt offering of the morning, which is for a regular burnt offering.
      24 In the same way you shall offer daily, for seven days, the food of a food offering, with a pleasing aroma to the LORD. It shall be offered besides the regular burnt offering and its drink offering.

      Exodus 12:15–20 (ESV)

      15 Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven out of your houses, for if anyone eats what is leavened, from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel.
      16 On the first day you shall hold a holy assembly, and on the seventh day a holy assembly. No work shall be done on those days. But what everyone needs to eat, that alone may be prepared by you.
      17 And you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day, throughout your generations, as a statute forever.
      18 In the first month, from the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the month at evening.
      19 For seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses. If anyone eats what is leavened, that person will be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a sojourner or a native of the land.
      20 You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your dwelling places you shall eat unleavened bread.”

      Exodus 13:8

      8 You shall tell your son on that day, ‘It is because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.’

      Exodus 13:14

      14 And when in time to come your son asks you, ‘What does this mean?’ you shall say to him, ‘By a strong hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, from the house of slavery.

      Exodus 13:16

      16 It shall be as a mark on your hand or frontlets between your eyes, for by a strong hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt.”

      Deuteronomy 16:3 (ESV)

      3 You shall eat no leavened bread with it. Seven days you shall eat it with unleavened bread, the bread of affliction—for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste—that all the days of your life you may remember the day when you came out of the land of Egypt.

      Michael Thigpen

      First and foremost, with its link to Passover and the departure from Egypt, unleavened bread reminded the Israelites of the immediacy of their salvation. To participate in God’s plan to transform them from Pharaoh’s slaves to his own people and nation, the Hebrews were required to launch out that very night, unprepared and totally dependent on God for the journey ahead. Waiting anxiously for the final plague to be over and for their promised protection to be realized, they ate the Passover and then carried out their unleavened dough on their backs (Ex. 12:34).

    5. Leviticus 23:1-3 | Holy Convocations

      Preacher: Joel Fair

      Leviticus 23:1-3

      Exodus 20:8 (ESV)

      8 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

      Matitiahu Tsevat, The Basic Meaning of the Biblical Sabbath

      Man normally is master of his time. He is free to dispose of it as he sees fit or as necessity bids him. The Israelite is duty-bound, however, once every seven days to assert by word and deed that God is the master of time. One day out of seven, the Israelite is to renounce dominion over his own time and recognize God's dominion over it. Every seventh day, the Israelite renounces his autonomy and affirms God's dominion over him. In the conclusion that every seventh day the Israelite is to renounce dominion over time, thereby renounce autonomy, and recognize God's dominion over time and thus over himself. Keeping the Sabbath is acceptance of the Kingdom and sovereignty of God.

      Exodus 6:6-8 (ESV)

      6 Say therefore to the people of Israel, 'I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from slavery to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great acts of judgment. 7 I will take you to be my people, and I will be your God, and you shall know that I am the LORD your God, who has brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 8 I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. I will give it to you for a possession. I am the LORD.' "

      Leviticus 26:12 (ESV)

      12 And I will walk among you and will be your God, and you shall be my people.

      Genesis 2:1-3 (ESV)

      1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. 3 So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation.

            An indicative is a statement of fact, “God loves you.” An imperative is a statement of command, “Love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength.”...Now, here’s the important point in gospel grammar: God’s indicatives are always the basis for God’s imperatives.

            Ephesians 1:7

            7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

            Ephesians 1:19–20

            19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might
            20 that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places,

            Ephesians 2:4–5

            4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,
            5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—

            Ephesians 2:13

            13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

            Ephesians 3:17–19

            17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
            18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
            19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

            Acts 20:28

            28 Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.

            Ephesians 4:4–7

            4 There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call—
            5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
            6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
            7 But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift.

            Martyn Lloyd-Jones

            As we look at this truth and test ourselves by it, how do we find ourselves as members of the Christian Church? A fatal tendency has come in to think and to say that the vast majority of people in the Church are meant to be entirely passive. Many seem to think of the Church as just a building to which they come to sit and listen to sermons and addresses, and in which they do nothing. This is a denial of the fundamental proposition that to every one of us is grace given in the Church and as parts of the body of Christ. Every one of us has a function, and we are not meant to be entirely passive. The whole secret of the working of the human body is that every part and particle has a particular function which it is meant to fulfil.

            Edmund Clowney - The Church

            After all, we take our livers for granted, but we fuss over our hair so that its minor role will be recognized.

            Rediscover Church (Leeman & Hansen)

            The picture Paul provides for both Timothy and Titus is the slow, patient, day-to-day, repetitious work of seeking to grow people in godliness. An elder doesn't force but teaches, because a forced act of godliness is no godliness at all. A godly act is willfully chosen from a regenerate, new covenant heart.

            Galatians 4:3

            3 In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world.

            4. Romans 3:27-31 | Faith & Law

              Preacher: Joel Fair

              Romans 3:27-31

              1. Justified by faith apart from the law
              2. We uphold the Law

                3. John Calvin

                Where there is a coming to Christ, there is first found in him the perfect righteousness of the law, which becomes ours by imputation.

                Romans 2:11

                11 For God shows no partiality.

                Romans 3:23

                23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

                Deuteronomy 6:4

                4 “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.

                John Piper

                Now what does that mean? I think it means that what the moral law of God requires of us, we will do, if we pursue it by faith, as those who are already justified, and not by works, in order to be justified. If we get right with God first by faith alone, and then live in that freedom of love and acceptance and justification, we will be changed from the inside out and will begin to love the very things the moral law requires so that they become established in our lives—not as works of merit, but as the fruit of faith and the fruit of the Spirit.

                Romans 1:5–6

                5 through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations,
                6 including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ,

                Romans 16:25–27

                25 Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages
                26 but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith—

              3. Romans 3:21-26 | God the Just & Justifier

                Preacher: Joel Fair

                Romans 3:21-26

                1. God The Just
                2. God The Justifier
                3. God of Glory

                  4. Romans 1:18

                  18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.

                  Romans 3:10

                  10 as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one;

                  John Piper

                  "Indeed, verse 26 says he would have been unrighteous, or unjust, in justifying sinners, if Christ had not been put forward as a propitiation by his blood: “so that he would be just. . . .” That is the basic issue. God’s righteousness is at stake. His name or reputation or honor must be vindicated. Before the cross can be for our sake, it must be for God’s sake."

                  Isaiah 53:4–7

                  4 Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.
                  5 But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.
                  6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
                  7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth.

                  Isaiah 53:10–12

                  10 Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
                  11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities.
                  12 Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.

                  2 Corinthians 5:21

                  21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

                  Romans 6:23

                  23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

                  Hebrews 9:22

                  22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

                  "There is pow'r, pow'r, wonder-working pow'r

                  In the precious blood of the Lamb."

                  Psalm 85:10

                  10 Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other.

                  Here Is Love

                  "Grace and love, like mighty rivers
                  Poured incessant from above
                  And Heaven’s peace and perfect justice
                  Kissed a guilty world in love"
