Leviticus is well-known for being the most boring book in the Bible, because it's mostly just a book of laws for a people 3000+ years ago!
But when you read Leviticus in it's context (Exodus & Numbers), and have read the whole Bible, you realize not only that the laws are practical and ahead of their time, but also that not only are there connections from it to the whole Bible and even Jesus Himself!
Today, Zach and Michael talk about Leviticus, God's call for holiness vs. our sinful nature, and the connections between Leviticus and the whole Bible.

Everyone's heard the story of the bronze serpent in the wilderness!
The Israelites complain to God over and over again and are ungrateful, which God is not okay with! Because of this, God sends snakes to bite His people, and many of them died from the bites. But eventually, God showed Moses how they could be healed: by putting a snake on a staff raising it up for the people to look at. He told them through Moses that if they looked at the snake on the staff, then they would be healed; all they had to do was have faith in Him and look at the snake.
Remind you of anything? Faith in One on a "post" which saves you from the death you would've otherwise suffered? If you don't understand by now, it's Jesus!
Today, Zach and Michael talk about the comparisons and awesomeness of the story of the bronze serpent and the story of Jesus.

Sin is a very Christian term, and it is not to be taken lightly!
Sinning is doing something that God disapproves of. Sin is doing something contrary to the creative order which God put in place. So not only does God hate it, but in the long run, you will hate it too because of what it does to you.
Sin is a big deal! It can only be forgiven totally by Jesus Christ and his death.
Confessing your sins (to God AND to brothers/sisters in Christ) and Addressing sins are so important, because sin kills! If sin isn't confessed, it kills one with guilt and anxiety. If sin isn't addressed, it kills not only the person, but relationships also, and even churches!
Today, Zach and Michael talk about confessing and addressing various sins in various situations.
