Scripture: Leviticus 16

Scripture: Leviticus 13–15
Wayne Stiles teaches from Leviticus 13–15 that our lives are in God’s hands. Just as one ritual bird died and the other flew away free, we see that our condition could have condemned us, but God has made us whole by His grace. What God requires of us, God provides for us—but we must accept it by faith.

Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:1-5; 1 Thessalonians 4–5; 1 Peter 3–4; James 1
As 2023 gets started, Mike Milstead teaches how to live faithfully and successfully as a Christian in the United States today.

Drawing from Paul’s charge to Timothy, he encourages followers of Christ to endure hardship, pursue holiness, rely on the Holy Spirit, and remain faithful witnesses even when the times are difficult.
Scripture: Leviticus 12
Wayne Stiles teaches from Leviticus 12 that only those who are whole—both spiritually and physically—may enter the presence of our holy God. And only Jesus makes that possible.
Scripture: Leviticus 11

David Souther covers what forgiveness is, what it is not, and how extending it can be a blessing in our lives. He emphasizes the transformative power of forgiveness, encouraging believers to practice it as Christ commands.

In this fifth lesson on Psalm 23, Imanuel Christian teaches on “walking in the paths of righteousness,” showing how the Lord guides us hand in hand. As we follow His lead, our lives are blessed and His glory is revealed.
