Clayton Keenon delivered the third message in Wheaton's grad chapel series, "The Gospel according to Moses," offering an up-close look at one of our least favorite books of the Bible: Leviticus. If you have been bored, baffled, or grossed out by Leviticus, this message is for you! Clayton explained the big idea of Leviticus this way: Here's what needs to happen when God moves into the neighborhood.
I can just about guarantee this will be the most enlightening and refreshing 25 minutes of your week!
So far the series has included messages by Dr. John Walton on Genesis and Dr. Philip Ryken on Exodus. Next week I'll post my own chapel message on Numbers, followed by Dr. Daniel Block on Deuteronomy.

Loved this one! I hope it's okay that I downloaded it to share with my students sometimes--he does such a great job of explaining why Leviticus sounds so foreign to us.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! So glad you liked it, too, Laura!
