Leviticus Is For Lovers | Leviticus 4

NewCity Orlando Sermons

Senior Pastor Damein Schitter continues our fall series, Leviticus Is For Lovers, preaching from the Leviticus 4:1-14, where unintentional sins and their intricate sacrificial rituals reveal a deeper spiritual truth. Pastor Damein draws vivid parallels between contemporary everyday actions and ancient practices, underscoring that ignorance never exempts us from consequences.
He then navigates the rich symbolism within the sacrificial rituals of Leviticus, illustrating how these actions demonstrate God's unwavering commitment to His covenant and profound love for His people. Through these rituals, we understand sin as a pervasive stain that disrupts our relationship with God and others, necessitating purification and atonement. By dissecting the concept of ransom, we see how God steps in to pay a debt we cannot, reflecting His immense grace and mercy. This helps us connects the ancient practices to our modern experiences of guilt, avoidance, and the transformative power of knowing we are loved and accepted by God.
Pastor Damein closes by comparing the dual aspects of atonement—ransoming and purification—through the lens of both Levitical and New Testament passages. By referencing Titus 2:14, Ephesians 5:26-27, and 1 John 1:7, he emphasizes how Jesus’s sacrifice perfectly fulfills the Old Testament rituals, achieving holistic forgiveness and cleansing. We rest in knowing that God's love and forgiveness remain steadfast, even when we feel unworthy.
