Priestly Pay: The Priest’s Portion of the Grain…

The Lord's Day Evening November 14, 2004 Leviticus 6:14-18 “Priestly Pay: the Priest's Portion of the Grain Offering” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Leviticus, chapter six. Tonight we will be looking again at what has been called the grain offering or the meal offering. We spent some time looking at this offering from the perspective of the basics required in this sacrifice to the Lord, especially from the perspective of the worshippers offering this sacrifice. We learned in Leviticus 2 that the grain offering, or the meal offering, consisted of worshippers offering cooked or uncooked meal to the Lord. The ingredients of this meal symbolized God's lasting bounty to them, and excluded elements that represented…

Keep the Fire Burning: The Burnt Offering

The Lord's Day Evening November 7, 2004 Leviticus 6:8-13 “Keep the Fire Burning: The Burnt Offering” The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Leviticus, chapter six. The last time we were together in Leviticus–at least, you and I–was back on October 17. Now, Derek was with you looking at that transition, the final offering described in that first section of Leviticus one through six, a passage that began in chapter five and ended in chapter six, verse seven. And now we are back repeating, going over the ground that has already been covered. As we studied Leviticus 1-5 one of the things that we said was the various offerings that are addressed there are addressed from the standpoint of the one who is bringing those…

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…

Drawing neat Through Death: The Burnt Offering

The Lord's Day Evening September 26, 2004 Leviticus 1:1-17 “The Burnt Offering” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, turn with me to the third book of the Old Testament, the third of Moses’ five books, or The Pentateuch–the book of Leviticus. Tonight we begin a study in this great book. Now perhaps this is the first time that you have worked your way through the book of Leviticus. Never fear, there is a New Testament counterpart that does much to help us understand the…

When I’m 64

I'd invite you to turn with me to the Psalms, to the seventy-first Psalm, which is the penultimate psalm in the Second Book of the Psalms. This is a Psalm for old age. Now, don't take offense! I'm not setting an exact date on when old age is. It's looking older and older to me, as I grow older myself. This is a psalm of old age. This psalmist is looking back on a life in which he can testify to the fact that the Lord has been there for him since his birth. He cannot remember a…

Lord, Help Me.

If you have Bibles I’d invite you to turn with me to Psalm 54. We are continuing through the Second Book of the Psalms now on Wednesday evenings. We started last autumn working through the Second Book of the Psalms at Psalm 42, and we made our way through to Psalm 51, and then we took a break. And then we began again in January on Sunday evenings, and now this past Lord’s Day evening Derek has done the second of his messages on the gospel of Mark. And, Lord willing, we’ll continue…

Here Comes the Judge

I'd invite you to take your Bibles and turn with me to Psalm 50. Before you get to 50, allow your eyes to fall upon Psalm 49, and remember from a couple of weeks ago, as we continue to go through the second book of the Psalms, a couple of weeks ago we were looking at Psalm 49 which is a very different kind of psalm. It sounds a lot like Proverbs or some of the other wisdom literature from the Old Testament, like the book of Ecclesiastes. In fact, we found a lot of phrases that reminded us of…

The Christian Experience of Joy over the Safety of the…

If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Psalm 48. We’re working our way through the second book of the Psalms on Sunday evenings. Over and over we've said that we want to ask what these Psalms teach us about Christ and what these Psalms teach us Christian experience. Derek walked with you through that glorious Psalm 47 with its opening words, “O clap your hands all ye peoples”–a Psalm which celebrates the world coming to a saving knowledge of Christ and the…

Moses’ Benediction

First Presbyterian Church Wednesday Evening Worship May 7, 2003 Exodus 39:32-43 “Moses’ Benediction” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III We've said over and over that one third of the Book of Exodus is devoted to the instructions regarding the building of the tabernacle and in the report of the carrying out of the building of the tabernacle. And we've also said over and over that the sheer volume of material on the tabernacle proves to us the importance of worship to God. If God didn't…
