Our Bible spotlight focuses on two key verses repeated several times throughout Leviticus. We learn why these verses are significant to God’s Law, how they relate to God’s character, and what implications they have for the Israelite people.
Then, our discipleship nugget highlights the law of loving your neighbor as yourself, equipping you to identify who your neighbors are and practical ways you can love them well.
Finally, our spiritual practice invites you to into a moment of intercessory prayer. Through Christ, we have become members of the royal priesthood ourselves, and through the practice of intercession, we model the tradition of the Levitical priests in offering prayers to God on behalf of others.
Wherever you listen, may you and your family be blessed by this episode as you seek to follow Jesus with your whole heart.
