With God in the Wilderness (26) The Red Heifer

The Lord’s Day Evening Numbers 19:1-22 “The Red Heifer” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Please be seated. If you have your Bibles before you, turn to Numbers 19. Let me invite you to turn to the New Testament to I Corinthians 10, and let me just remind you of a couple of things. First of all, the song that we have just sung is really the perfect song for studying Numbers 19, because it’s a chapter that is really, when you look at it closely, all about the blood of Jesus. Ruling Elder Mark Baird prayed that we would show our children Jesus as we talk to them. Well, that’s really all we’re going to do tonight. In fact, let me tell you ahead of time that what I want to do as we look at Numbers 19 is show you seven ways that it points directly to Jesus Christ. To help us…

Lamps, Levites, and Retirement

Wednesday Evening April 25, 2007 Numbers 8:1-26 Lamps, Levites, and Retirement Dr. Ligon Duncan III I’d invite you to turn with me to Numbers 8. We have been working through Numbers for a number of weeks now. The last time we were together in Numbers, we were in the longest chapter in the Bible, Numbers 7; that runs to 89 verses. And we said that it describes a unique event in Israel’s history, a twelve-day event when gifts were brought to the tent of meeting–all of the gifts the same, each brought by a tribal leader, one each day. The same leaders brought the gifts as had been responsible for the census that was taken and recorded back in Numbers 2. And we said, looking at that long passage, that the passage highlights at least five things. First of all, the importance and…

But I Didn’t Mean To: The Unintentional Sin…

The Lord's Day Evening October 17, 2004 Leviticus 4:1-5:13 “But I Didn't Mean To: The Unintentional Sin Offering” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Leviticus, chapter four, as we continue to work our way through the Book of Leviticus, looking right now at the five great offerings which are described twice in Leviticus 1-7. Tonight we are looking specifically at the offering for purification in the case of unintentional sin–sin that was not high-handed, there were mitigating aspects to this sin. Perhaps it will help you, though, if we outline this passage a little bit ahead of time. It's a long passage: we’ll read all the way into the fifth chapter. It has a number of different categories. First of all, if you look at…

A Sweet Smell For the Lord

Exodus 30:1-38A Sweet Smell for the Lord If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn to Exodus chapter 30. Let's begin with reading Exodus chapter 30: 1-10. “Moreover, you shall make an altar as a place for burning incense; you shall make it of acacia wood. Its length shall be a cubit, and its width a cubit, it shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits; its horns shall be of one piece with it. And you shall overlay it with pure gold, its top and its sides all around, and…

Preparations for Priests

Exodus 29:1-46Preparations for Priests We have been looking at this section of Exodus that runs from Exodus 24 through 40, with one interruption in 32, 33, and 34. This whole passage has to do with the right worship of God. Now you maybe wondering about that interruption, we’ll get there early next year God willing. And that interruption is about wrong worship. So the whole of the end of Exodus is about worship, both right and wrong. And so we find this series of connected chapters focusing on…

A Foreshadowing of Judgment, Part 2: The Cleansing of…

If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Matthew 21. It is Monday of the Passover week, and the Lord Jesus, after entering into Jerusalem on the foal of the donkey, had returned to Bethany to spend the night. Then, the next Monday morning, He came back into Jerusalem and headed straight for the temple. He had revealed himself as the humble king, the Messiah coming to His people, on that Sunday before Passover, and now He is going to reveal Himself as the righteous king,…
