BACKDROP OF GREAT COMMISSION – Dr. Alexander Kurian – [Audio sermon]

Br Alexander Kurian takes us back to the most vital and fundamental passages in the Scripture. Though found in 4 different places across the scripture, great commission turns out to be the greatest omission in a Christian’s life. Drawing attention to the backdrop and circumstances under which this commission was giving; Br Kurian shows how the great commission was given to a incompetent, doubtful lot of fishermen. It was given in the backdrops of failures, doubts, worship and obedience. Prejudice was abolished before the Lord gave the charge to the 12 disciples.

Studying the backdrop of Great Commission, will encourage a believer to arise out of his incompetency, inabilities, failures, doubts and be involved in the highest vocation of a Saint.

Br.Phil Coulson- PEACE OFFERING [Sermon]

Br.Phil Coulson in this final sermon to the series of Levitical Offerings speaks powerfully on peace offering. This Offering does not establish peace between God and Man. The other 4 offerings establishes peace. But the offer-er would offer this peace offering, after having experienced the peace and fellowship with God. It is proof of God’s fellowship with Man. Moreover, this offering is not offered apart from the Burnt offering. And hence when the fat of Peace offering is offered alongside the Burnt offering, a fresh flame of Burnt offering arises to God.

The outcome of offering the peace offering, as written in Leviticus 7 is that; the Priest family and the offer-er’s family enjoyed the fellowship with God.

3. Mediation: Hebrews 8:6, 9:15, 12:24–> He stands between God and Man

Br.Phil Coulson – SIN OFFERING & TRESPASS OFFERING [Sermon]

Br. Phil Coulson in continuation to exposition on Levitical Offering, looks at the the offerings for sin in Leviticus 4 and 5. The Sin offering emphasizes on the person who sinned whereas the Trespass offering emphasizes on the deeds of the person. Hence, when God wrought the salvation of man, He first sought to righteously deal with man’s sin and also transform a ‘Sinful Man’ to the ‘Child of God’.

The offerings for sin teaches every child of God, how God through the death of Christ can righteously deal with the penalty of sins and how the death of Christ also provided man with freedom from slavery of sin as a master.
