Br. Phil Coulson: MEAL OFFERING [Sermon]

In this 3rd sermon, the continuation of the exposition on Levitical Sacrifices, Bro. Phil Coulson picks up from where he left on the Burnt Offering. The Spirit of God draws our attention to the order maintained in the offering and also to the specific animal parts that find mention in Leviticus 1. Do not miss the connection to John 19 and the description of the death of the Lord Jesus, so beautifully expressed in the Burnt Offering.

Bro. Phil also covers the Meal Offering in this sermon. Learn of the humanity of the Lord Jesus, completely summarized by the four ingredients of the Meal Offering. Notice the perfect earthly life of our dear Saviour chronologically unfolding in the four different preparations of the Meal Offering. Let this lesson, dear saint, fill your heart with thoughts of worship that will overflow and be appreciated by the extended family of Christ in this world.

Br. Phil Coulson: BURNT OFFERING [Sermon]

In this 2nd sermon, the continuation of the exposition on Levitical Sacrifices, Bro. Phil Coulson presents to us the Burnt Offering: the first of the sweet smelling sacrifices to God. Through this message, we learn why the Spirit of God chooses to place sweet smelling sacrifices, which equip us with what we lack, before the non-sweet smelling offerings for sin- which removes all that defiles. Learn of the true meaning of propitiation, and why the new testament never uses terms like atonement and pardon with respect to our salvation. Learn also of the Lord Jesus Christ being our garment of salvation, making us acceptable to the holy gaze of God, much like the Burnt Offering was to the offerer. Let this message draw you, dear saint, to offer higher, richer worship to God which blesses Him for what Christ means to Him and not just for what Christ means to us.
