April 29, 2026Today's Reading: Leviticus 16:1-24Daily Lectionary: Leviticus 16:1-24; Luke 10:1-22“And Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and confess over it all the iniquities of the people of Israel, and all their transgressions, all their sins. And he shall put them on the head of the goat and send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who is in readiness.” (Leviticus 16:21)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.The Day of Atonement in Leviticus sixteen is a tale of two goats. Both gathered at the tent of meeting. Both before the Lord. Both goats given by a gracious God to save his people and atone for all their iniquities.One goat was for a sin offering. A sacrifice. A substitute. The innocent for the guilty. Clean for the unclean. A life for a life. Blood sprinkled on the mercy seat. Atonement made by the Holy One of Israel in the Holy of Holies to make his people holy. To cover all their transgressions.The second goat was an offering as well—a living sacrifice. As Aaron laid his hands on this goat, he laid all the trespasses of the people upon it. All their sins. All their iniquities. This goat was sent packing away from the camp and into the wilderness. This goat, too, is a substitute. Sent away from God's presence so his people would remain in his presence. Given to bear Israel's sin so they would not have to. But there's more to this story. Two goats point to the One Lamb.Like the first goat, Jesus, is our sin offering. A sacrifice. A substitute. He is the innocent one who dies for the guilty. He is the Clean One who washes away all the filth of our uncleanness. He gives his life for your life. His blood is sprinkled and shed and poured out on the altar of the cross and then into a chalice upon the mercy seat of the altar in your church. And like the second goat, Jesus, went out into the wilderness. Jesus overcame Satan, where the Serpent overcame Adam and Eve. Jesus also bears the iniquities of the people, all people, on his head, as he goes outside the camp of Jerusalem. Into the wilderness of Golgotha, burdened and weighed down by all our trespasses, all our sins, all our iniquities. Jesus, the Lamb of God, is sent outside the city walls and is forsaken by God so that you and all who believe in him would remain in his presence. Jesus is given to bear our sin so we don't have to.This tale of two goats points us to the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Where the paschal blood is poured, Death's dread angel sheathes the sword; Israel's hosts triumphant go through the wave that drowns the foe. Alleluia! (LSB 633:3)

July 14, 2025 Today's Reading: Leviticus (18:1-5) 19:9-18Daily Lectionary: Judges 14:1-20; Galatians 3:1-22“You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the LORD your God.” (Leviticus 19:10b)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. As you read these verses in Leviticus, perhaps you (like me) nod your head along with God's commands: “Yes - that is absolutely the right thing to do! Leave some for the poor. Tell the truth. Pay fair wages. Great rules, I concur!” These rules (The Commandments) are great on paper. They are absolutely the right way to engage with those around us. Well, until I am one of the poor, or the outsider, or the deaf, or the blind… then I would rather be in control, thank you. I can *handle* this. I don't need your or anyone's help; I. Am. Fine. Do you ever find yourself automatically assuming the role of the ‘doer?' You have, you don't need. You understand, you aren't confused. You give, needy ones receive. And yet, can you honestly say that you have never been the one in need? That you have never been the one ‘on the outside?' Why is it so hard for us to admit that we are dependent and poor and lost and in need? God is giving rules to His people to curb their sinfulness, yet He is also showing mercy. The Ten Commandments are indeed gifts; these are listed in Leviticus and show us the vocational roles and the boundaries that we have with one another. Also, though, they connect to Who God is: “I am the LORD your God.” We have this God! We have this merciful, loving, providing, forgiving God! Even when I won't admit my need, He fills it. Even when I think I am ‘in charge,' He shows me I am not. How do I know? In Baptism, God takes the dead man and breathes new life. On Good Friday, Jesus declared, “It is finished” as He died the sinners' death to redeem all of the world. Every Sunday, in the Divine Service, we hear, “I forgive you in the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.” Sometimes, you might get to be the ‘doer' who serves their neighbor and gives of what you have; thanks be to God. And sometimes, you will be the poor and the outsider in need of relief, sustenance, love, and forgiveness, and others will care for you; also, thanks be to God. In both cases, though, you are covered by and made new through your Savior Jesus; you are connected to our merciful and gracious God. Thanks be to God.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Oh, how great is Your compassion, Faithful Father, God of grace, That with all our fallen race In our depth of degradation You had mercy So that we Might be saved eternally! (LSB 559: 1)- Deac. Sarah Longmire, Bible study editor for Higher Things.Audio Reflections Speaker: Pastor Jonathan Lackey is the pastor at Grace Lutheran Church, Vine Grove, KY.Step back in time to the late Reformation and learn about a divisive yet inspirational figure: Matthias Flacius Illyricus. His contributions to Lutheranism still echo in our teachings today, from the Magdeburg Confession to parts of the Lutheran Confessions. Learning about Flacius's life will help you understand more intricacies of the Reformation than ever before.

In this Bible Study, we look at Leviticus 10 and Nadab and Abihu, Aaron's sons. Why did God kill Nadab and Abihu? What did they do that brought down God's swift judgment? We also look at the story of Korah in Numbers 16 as well as Annanis and Sapphira in Acts 5. Dave also briefly talks about Alcohol and what the Bible has to say about consuming it.Outline:01:31 - introduction, context of Leviticus 1003:08 - Reading Leviticus 10.1-2 05:10 - What did Nadab and Abihu do to deserve death?05:32 - Theory 1 - The wrong guys - they were not authorized to offer incense (that was the role of the High Priest).

In this Bible study of Leviticus chapter 9, we see the first tabernacle service. Up until this point, Moses has been conducting all the sacrifices, but now Aaron and his sons will take on the role of tabernacle priests, as outlined at the end of Exodus and fully explained in the first 7 chapters of Leviticus. At the end of the service, we see the Glory of the Lord appear to the people, and we see God consume their offerings with fire from heaven! We conclude this talk camping out on these two subjects, the Glory of the Lord and Fire being used as a sign from God.Outline00:10 - introduction - where we are at in Leviticus02:20 - Reading Leviticus 9.1-603:24 - This is a summary of what is going to happen in the chapter. Moses is directing Aaron. Up to this point, Moses had been doing the offerings; now, Aaron and his sons were finally ready to do the job outlined at the end of Exodus and at the opening of Leviticus. 04.12 - Reading Leviticus 9.7-1405.27 - Explanation05.46 - Reading Leviticus 9.15-2206:47 - Explanation - The offerings have now been made for the people of Israel. 08:14 - Application - we must deal with our own sinful practices in our lives before we can be the most useful to God in helping others. Matthew 7.3-5 Is a great example for us given by Jesus. This all has to do with the sanctification process; we are forever (in this life) a work in progress. 12:54 - Reading Leviticus 9.23-24.14:00 - Examples in the Bible of fire consuming an offering or a sacrifice.Jdg 6.11-22 - Gideon - speaking to an angel of the Lord. 1 Kgs 18.16-39 - Elijah on Mount Carmel 2 Chr 7.1-3 - David dedicates the temple,23:20 - The Glory of the LordGlory = כָּבוֹד (kāḇôḏ)Exo 16.10Exo 24.16-17Exo 40:33-35Lev 9.23-242 Chr 7.1-3Ezek 8.4; 9.3; 10.4, 18; 11.22-23Luke 2.8-9 John 1.141 Cor 6.19-20John 17.20-23Rev 21.22-23Support Iron Sheep Ministries: https://Ironsheep.org/donateListen to the podcast: https://anchor.fm/ironsheepContact Dave & the ISM team: info@ironsheep.orgBe notified of each new teaching, join the email list: http://eepurl.com/g-2zAD

The word Sabbath is actually generic in and of itself. It becomes important when you add the description "of the LORD." Similarly, the feasts are important because Yahweh sets them out, both for remembrance and to point to Jesus. But they haven't all been fulfilled yet! We are living in the gap between fulfillment of the first feasts and the pending fulfillment of the second round of feasts (in the seventh month).

Unfortunately, the stories of offering human sacrifices to be burned alive are based on real life. Yahweh has to tell the people of Israel how wicked this is, because they've been doing it and other nations around them have been doing it. He also warns them against seeking guidance from familiar spirits or seeking out any person practicing such occult activities. Perversion of sexual relationships is clarified, as well as cursing parents. He explains that he wants to bless them, but they must do what is good and holy.

"[K]eep my statutes and my rules; if a person does them, he shall live by them: I am the Lord." - Leviticus 18:5

“The leprous person who has the disease shall wear torn clothes and let the hair of his head hang loose, and he shall cover his upper lip and cry out, ‘Unclean, unclean.'” — Leviticus 13:45

Then Moses said to Aaron, "This is what the Lord has said: ?'Among those who are near me I will be sanctified, and before all the people I will be glorified.?'" And Aaron held his peace." - Leviticus 10:3

October 30, 2023Today's Reading: Leviticus 19:1-2,15-18Daily Lectionary:Deuteronomy 11:1-25, Matthew 12:1-21“Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them, You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy."  (Leviticus 19:2)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. I've never had to go to court, so I guess I haven't done injustice there.  Mostly because I've never gotten caught doing injustice outside of the court.  I should probably definitely try to speak better of my neighbor.  Or at least talk a little less trash.  There's a commandment about that somewhere between 7 and 9.  Realistically, I could probably do that better. I don't know how to carve the hate out of my heart though.  It plants itself in past wrongs.  It festers in old wounds.  It carves away that which should be given to love and corrupts it, even darkening my reason.  Ask me how I was right when it comes to those who have wronged me.  Even my brothers and sisters in Christ. The Law shows us our sin.  Because it doesn't paint a picture of us.  The Law paints a picture of Jesus. He is the one who actually fulfilled it.  He is the one to imagine when we want to see what it looks like.  The LORD is holy.  But our text does not call us to try to be like God.  That led to some problems in the past between Genesis 2 and 4.  God speaks.  Something happens.  Think Genesis 1.  Let there be light.  And it was good.  You shall be holy.  And you are.  Jesus, who fulfills the Law in your stead dies on the cross to forgive your sin.  Your pastor pronounces absolution.  Your sins are taken away. You are holy, even as holy as Jesus. He makes you that way.  So when we read the Law and find all our shortcomings, we take them to Him who forgives us, and makes us new to love our neighbor free from having to measure.  In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.O grant that nothing in my soul May dwell, but Thy pure love alone; Oh, may Thy love possess me whole, My joy, my treasure, and my crown! All coldness from my heart remove; My ev'ry act, word, thought be love (LSB 683:2)- Pastor Harrison Goodman is content executive for Higher Things.Audio Reflections Speaker: Pastor Jonathan Lackey is the pastor at Grace Lutheran Church, Vine Grove, Ky.Study Christ's words on the cross to see how you can show more Christlike grace in your life.
