Pastor’s Desk – 01-20-10
Confession: I was one of those folks – yes, me! – who kind of thought “Leviticus? Has Kris lost his mind?” when he talked a few months ago about us doing this series. Tribe Levi was a cool title for the series, and we’d get to wear our jeans (for the sake of honesty, mine aren’t Levi’s), but this was the book I roll through when reading the Bible. Didn’t seem to apply much to me anymore. Man, was I wrong! Tribe Levi has spoken to me over the last several weeks in a way no other sermon series has for quite awhile. Sermon-based small groups are enjoying the interaction with it as well (over 103 people are tracking with the sermons! You can also respond to those questions online for yourself. They are posted weekly along with the audio of the message). Read Leviticus 19 this week, and then show up expecting to hear God once again from Leviticus. ~Drew Brown
