Leviticus 05.1-13 Bible Study - Sin Offering (Part 2)In this Bible study, we look at the 2nd half of the Sin Offering as outlined in Leviticus 5.1-13. The Israelites were required to perform a “sin offering” if they failed to do something that was required, such as failing to give a testimony, dealing properly with ritual uncleanness, or fulfilling an oath. We also look at the “sin offering” as the “purification offering” asking why a woman who just gave birth would be required to give a “sin offering?” A key verse in this passage is Leviticus 5.5 in which the text tells us that confession is key to the process. OUTLINE:01:45 - What is Iron Sheep Ministries? 07:04 - Outline of the talk: 5.1-6 Failure to do something that was required: - v1 - Failure to give testimony, which could prevent justice from being carried out. - v2-3 - Failure to deal properly with ritual uncleanness, which could lead to the Lord's tabernacle being defiled.- v4 - Failure to fulfill an oath, which would result in the Lord's name being profaned. In any of the above. ONCE they realized their guilt there were two things they had to do.- v5 - Confess their sin- v6 - bring an offering to the Tabernacle so the priest could make atonement for them.5.7-13 - Three possible offerings, adjusted according to the economic situation of the person bringing the offering. EVERYONE has the opportunity to make a sacrifice, no matter how poor they were. 08:42 - Leviticus 5.1-1312:02 - Lev 5.1 - public charge to testify - it was considered a sin to see something and not say something. 14:25 - Lev 5.2-3 - “ceremonially unclean” - we see unclean as being related to public health or hygiene. A better way to think of a ceremony unclean vs clean is adequately prepared for worship.Rev 7.141 John 1.722:45 - purification offeringWORD STUDY: Ḥaṭṭā'āṯ חַטָּאָת (hea-taw-aw) - “sin, sin offering, purification from sins of ceremonial uncleanness.”Occurs 294x in KJV, 82x in Lev, 32x in Lev 4-5:13Lev 5.2-3Lev 12.1-8Luke 2.22-2430:29 - Lev 5.4 OathsMat 5.33-3732:50 - Lev 5.5 - confess - 35:55 - why is confession important? When you realize your guilt, the very first step, you must go through is to confess your sin before the Lord. He already knows what you did! But if you refuse to acknowledge your sin, then there is no room for the Holy Spirit to work in you. The Lord's discipline is a good thing.

The sin offering (also known as the purification offering) is covered in Leviticus chapter 4 as well as the first thirteen verses of chapter 5. In this study, we will look at the first portion, as outlined in Leviticus chapter 4. The sin offering was an offering required when an individual (or group) had sinned unintentionally. The offering atoned for the sin and cleansed them from unrighteousness. What is the application for this for us today? Do we have such an offering for our sin?Outline: 00:08 - Introduction to sin/purification offeringThis is a required offeringThese are also newly establishedThe Sin offering is atonement made for unintentional sin03:48 - Lev 4.1-2 - intro for all sin offerings04:45 - What is the definition of sin?

Many of us long for the abundant life Jesus promised, but instead we feel stagnant and frustrated in our faith. More of us cultivate our view of God from our family of origin than from the pages of the Bible—and a faulty view of God will always be a barrier to a satisfying spiritual life. Bryan Clark has served in pastoral ministry in Nebraska for more than 40 years. In that time, he's observed a lot of, as he says, “messed up” views of God. In his unique and interactive book God's Not Like That, our guest returns us to Scripture on a step-by-step journey to identify and then correct our misconceptions about God.  Listen for specific ways our childhood influences our beliefs today and how to distinguish truth from fiction when it comes to personal beliefs.

While many archaeologists reject the spiritual authority of the Bible and even argue about the details of the history it presents, it is important to remember that even secular archaeologists use the Bible as a tool in their excavation work. Why? Because the Bible describes real events, people, and places. We will talk with filmmaker and biblical archaeologist, Joel Kramer about his unique work to explain the historical accuracy of the Bible to regular people. Check out Joel's book, Where God Came Down: https://www.christianbook.com/where-came-down-archaeological-evidence-hardcover/joel-kramer/9780998037417/pd/037417?event=ESRCG

In this episode, W.A and I discuss some helpful insights he has gleaned from his ministry experience, including the power of equipping others for ministry, avoiding being too busy, and finding balance in the mission of the church under your care. We dig into his background, call to ministry, discipleship in the local church, and resources that can help you no matter where you are in the discipleship journey.Quotes for Notes:“A pastor who is too busy to pray with other pastors is too busy.”“I discovered that the more I would equip the people; help them discover, develop, and deploy their ministry gifts, the more time I actually had to devote myself to prayer and to the ministry of the Word.”“I did try to balance those five purposes that Rick Warren writes about…. Worship, fellowship, mission, ministry, and discipleship.”Links:https://iphc.org/discipleship/summit/ https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Pastor-Theologian-Possibilities-Leadership/dp/0830851712https://www.amazon.com/Preaching-Communicating-Faith-Age-Skepticism/dp/0143108719/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1L4LV94J3OY1L&keywords=timothy+keller+preaching&qid=1693790280&s=books&sprefix=timothy+keller+preachin%2Cstripbooks%2C139&sr=1-1https://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/easy_find?Ntt=purpose+driven+church&N=0&Ntk=keywords&action=Search&Ne=0&event=ESRCG&nav_search=1&cms=1&ps_exit=RETURN%7Clegacy&ps_domain=wwwhttps://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/easy_find?Ntt=pastoring+men&N=0&Ntk=keywords&action=Search&Ne=0&event=ESRCG&nav_search=1&cms=1&ps_exit=RETURN%7Clegacy&ps_domain=wwwhttps://www.christianbook.com/christian-conversation-about-issues-matter-most/patrick-morley/9780310361534/pd/361534?event=ESRCGhttps://www.amazon.com/What-Man-Dr-Joaquin-Molina/dp/0974632953/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3FEPXB9C7K1D&keywords=molina+what+is+a+man&qid=1693790424&s=books&sprefix=molina+what+is+a+man%2Cstripbooks%2C130&sr=1-2https://www.amazon.com/Called-Men-Western-Society-Stolen/dp/0578517671/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2QXUFTS92LRXY&keywords=called+to+be+men&qid=1693790457&s=books&sprefix=called+to+be+men%2Cstripbooks%2C130&sr=1-1https://iphc.org/discipleship/thejourney/

In today's episode we're continuing the faith march toward Billy Graham. We started this journey by profiling the travelling salesman Edward Kimball, then the world renowned evangelist DL Moody.

from Chasing Failure by Ryan LeakIn my twenties my goal was to be in the NBA. As I trained, I had the opportunity to compete against a few former NBA players, and I quickly realized I was headed toward failure, so I decided to abort pursuing that dream. The thought of failure stopped me. A few years later I thought, “Why?” So I decided I was going to pursue my dream of playing in the NBA anyway. I had never failed at becoming an NBA player before, so how could I know the outcome without even trying? And what's so scary about failing anyway?This was the day I decided to start chasing failure. I managed to arrange a tryout with the Phoenix Suns, and I failed. It was one of the best days of my life. Something happened in Phoenix that I don't believe could have happened in the comfort of my own home: the fear of failure was broken off in my life...LISTEN to this devotional with Brian and Andi Hale above, or PURCHASE Ryan's book here...https://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/easy_find?Ntt=chasing+failure+ryan+leak&N=0&Ntk=keywords&action=Search&Ne=0&event=ESRCG&nav_search=1&cms=1&ps_exit=RETURN%7Clegacy&ps_domain=www

The story of Ahab is very colorful. He would have to be one of the most hated villains in the Old Testament.

This week we look at the story of Joseph. We start by recapping his life to this point (Gen 37-39) then we dive into Joseph being thrown into prison, where “The Lord was with Joseph” and he prospered. This week we look again at this question of how we as believers are called to respond to adversity.

We have previously introduced you to our friend, Mr. Richard Owen Roberts. We walked through the book he assembled, Salvation in Full Color, we've had him on the podcast to discuss his upcoming conference (link below). But Mr. Roberts has been a part of our ministry much longer than we have been producing our podcast. When we were discussing who we would interview for our inaugural study in the early days of Media Gratiae, Mr. Roberts was a must. We knew we wanted his wisdom and insight on the topic of rethinking God biblically. And he certainly did not disappoint. In fact, his interview is over two and a half hours long. Sadly, we had to cut the vast majority of his words in the study. But today we want to present you with some of his responses to our questions in their entirety.

In this episode, host Angela sits down with Rev. Dr. Wilda Gafney, Bible scholar, episcopal priest and the Right Rev. Sam B. Hulsey Professor of Hebrew Bible at Brite Divinity School in Fort Worth, Texas. They discuss the importance of gender expansive Bible translation, which incorporates contextual consideration and raises the presence of women and feminine imagery that have been traditionally overlooked or underrepresented. Focusing on her latest work, A Women's Lectionary for the Whole Church: Year W, she discusses how using gender expansive language enriches the reading, hearing, and application of the Biblical text. This lectionary also focuses on using explicit feminine God-language as a means of expanding our view and understanding of God. Words matter because they have the power to create or eliminate barriers to inclusion.   Guest Bio:   Womanist biblical scholar, Rev. Dr. Wil Gafney is the Right Rev. Sam B.

Women in higher education must navigate a world that is not regularly friendly to them as mothers or as experts in their disciplines. When these professionals are in Christian universities, there are problems that emerge which require greater scrutiny of claims to be “family-friendly,” and how we treat female professors. Dr. Deshonna Collier-Goubil is the co-editor for Power Women: Stories of Motherhood, Faith, and the Academy, which is a multi-authored collection from Christian women in higher-ed. Enjoy learning about why this book and these intersections are important for women and those of us who operate outside of higher-ed. Christians have an opportunity to re-shape cultural spaces that do not prioritize Christian values and learning from these contributors is a significant start.        Pick up your copy of Power Women here: https://cbeinternational.christianbook.com/power-women-stories-motherhood-faith-academy/9780830853069/pd/853069?event=ESRCG       Bio   Dr. Deshonna Collier-Goubil, is the interim dean for the School of Behavioral and Applied Sciences at Azusa Pacific University.

This week we cover the genealogy from Noah to Abraham, in this midst of that we also have the story of the Tower of Babel. Genesis 10 & 11 shows us the spreading of all the nations from Noah's three sons to the ends of the earth.

So you want to read the Bible, but you’re not sure how to do it well. What does it really mean? How is the Bible understood?” As Bill Kynes addresses these questions in this article, he emphasizes that “[t]o read the Bible rightly, one must submit to the Master, who alone holds the key to meaning. Jesus Christ and His gospel must guide our understanding of the Bible, even as our reading of the Bible will refine our understanding of Jesus and His work.

This highly accessible, easy-to-read book is perfect for pastors, teachers, students, and lay people who want to speak clearly and lovingly to the issues that confront people of faith today. https://www.christianbook.com/apologetics-help-seekers-skeptics-find-faith/alister-mcgrath/9780801014161/pd/014161?event=ESRCG

Christians are called to be ready to make a defense of the faith. But as cultures change, the questions and approaches to that task shift. Philosopher Paul Gould helps us navigate these tricky waters through insights from his book Cultural Apologetics. Many—including many Christians—no longer perceive the world in its proper light. As a result, the Christian imagination is muted. Moreover, the church has grown anti-intellectual and sensate, out of touch with the relevancy of Jesus and how to relate the gospel to all aspects of contemporary life. As a result, the Christian voice is muted. In this age Christian wholeness remains elusive, blunting the church's ability to present a winsome and compelling witness for faith. As a result, the Christian conscience is muted. Cultural Apologetics addresses this malaise by setting forth a fresh model for cultural engagement, rooted in the biblical account of Paul's speech on Mars Hill, which details practical steps for reestablishing the Christian voice, conscience, and imagination. Readers will be equipped to see, and help others see, the world as it is—deeply beautiful, mysterious, and sacred. https://www.christianbook.com/cultural-apologetics-paul-gould/9780310530497/pd/530490?event=ESRCG

Two themes that surface in Augustine’s sermons that may be helpful for our discipleship: understanding (1) salvation as primarily a process, a pilgrimage that is completed only in the future at our final destination, heaven, and (2) future rewards as a motivating factor for present godliness. Show notes: To read the article go to https://www.cslewisinstitute.org/Augustine_on_Heaven_and_Rewards_page1 Recommended Reading: Gerald Bray, Augustine on the Christian Life: Transformed by the Power of God (Crossway, 2015) Augustine is widely considered to be the most influential theologian in church history after the apostle Paul. Dramatically converted from a life of licentiousness to one of wholehearted devotion to Christ, the humble North African pastor quickly established himself as a leading figure within the ancient church. In Augustine on the Christian Life, historian Gerald Bray explores the rich spirituality of this extraordinary man, examining his historical context, approach to the Christian life, and work as a preacher and teacher of God’s Word. Drawing on Augustine’s many writings—including his classic spiritual autobiography, the Confessions—Bray demonstrates Augustine’s enduring relevance for Christians today. This book is part of Crossway’s Theologians on the Christian Life series. https://www.christianbook.com/augustine-christian-life-transformed-power-god/gerald-bray/9781433544941/pd/544941?event=ESRCG

Phil, Jase, and Al discuss the many reasons why bad things happen to good people and how Jesus heals. This requires an unexpected detour into spitting as a southern cultural phenomenon, spitting in baseball, and spitting in the Bible. The guys also discuss the tree of life, sin, and restoration. But first, Jase tries to MacGyver the drain in his bubbling, gurgling bathroom, and his hairball fishing expedition doesn't quite cut it.

In 1 Thessalonians 5:17, we read: “Pray without ceasing.” Most believers, ourselves included, have made the mistake of understanding this means we should pray repetitively for the same thing, day, after day, after day, after day… However, when we really dig into the Scriptures and listen to men of faith who have mastered the art of praying, we realize that repetition has little if anything to do with it. Paul was right, “...the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.” ~ Romans 8:26 But hey, it’s not because we ‘know not what to pray for’ that we shouldn’t seek to improve our prayer life, right? In this episode, we consider how we should pray. Here is a hint: It takes into account that God isn’t deaf.
