Tuesday Feb 28, 2017
Tuesday Feb 28, 2017
Our series on 'The Heart of Life' and the book of Leviticus continues with a reflection on the meaning of the 'purity laws' of the Old Testament. Tim Johnson looks at Leviticus 20:22-26, God's call for his people to be holy as he is holy, how this worked out in their lives, and what it looks like for Christians to make of ourselves a place where God can live.

We continue our 'Heart of Life' series this week, starting to look at the book of Leviticus. We consider the opening chapter of Leviticus, and the sacrificial system it describes. This shows us how we can think about putting our relationship with God at the centre of our lives, with practices of repentance and thanksgiving.

The Heart of Life - Introducing Leviticus
Tuesday Feb 14, 2017
Tuesday Feb 14, 2017
This is the first in our new series called 'The Heart of Life', where we think about how we can put God at the centre of our lives in practical ways. We will be looking at the book of Leviticus, a strange and difficult book of the Old Testament, which is probably the least favourite book of the Bible for many Christians. But it contains many images and concepts that make sense of the coming of Jesus. Kirk Mackenzie starts off the series by looking at Hebrews 8, where the 'shadow' of Jesus in the Old Testament is discussed.
