Message—Thinking Differently About Leviticus, Part 2
Last week, we started looking at the book of Leviticus and how God wants to have a relationship with His people. This week, we’ll continue in Leviticus and focus on holiness. Israel was chosen to accomplish a task that no other nation on earth was given, and that was to be the promoters of God’s plan of redemption for all mankind. God wanted their lives to be a personal reflection of His character in the ancient world, and that’s what He wants from us today. See the value of Leviticus and remember that God is fighting to have a relationship with us and as a result we should want to be like His son.

Apples of Gold–”Zvi and his wife are miraculously spared” (@19:01)
Journey back to a time when Zvi and his wife went to Tel Aviv on an errand. Wanting to return home early, they head to the station but just missed the bus to Jerusalem. This turned out to be a miraculous blessing, as the bus they missed was attacked by a terrorist. See how God used this incident for good, as it opened a door for Zvi to talk to others about how to properly thank and worship God for the safety He provided.
