Good Morning! It’s a New Day! - SL06
9. So you know where you are anywhere you are. And today we're in sl06. Leviticus 6:19 is where it begins. I'll start a little bit earlier and I was really impressed by the Torah reading today. So I'm just going to do the Torah reading. I'm not going to do anything else. Leviticus 6:19, through 7:38 and every morning the priests would get up and go in to the Tabernacle and begin their work. And that's where we're at. Kind of were talking about how they're going to do that and I was amazed what a glorious thing that might feel like. Can you imagine being a priest and going into the Tabernacle Courtyard in the morning, getting ready to do it at the day's work before the Lord and other priests are coming in and you might be just really excited about honoring. God about being with God, about worshiping God about doing, whatever it is that you do. And I can imagine sing. Hey Kyle, it's good to see you this morning. Have you had coffee yet? We'll make some bread later on. Okay, because they do, and they're allowed to eat the bread. So it's kind of a cool thing going on here. Good morning. It's a new day. And I thought, what? A way to start a Torah teaching. Anyway, that's that, find the thing here. Where is it? It's there. There it is. I'm not allowed to push this until now, and we go.
So we covered the offerings this morning, the Ola offering also known as the burnt offering, not burnt like toast, but burnt, like, completely lifted up that which is completely dedicated to God, the hola offering. So he is our hola. He's offered himself completely to us. And he hopes, we will offer ourselves completely to him. So, the Ola offering the mean, the meal offering if you have a King James, that might say, the meat offering because meal grain bread meat in the Old Testament, King James times, but it's a grain offering, and that's where you looked up some of it completely to the Lord. And yet you're allowed to make bread and you make bread in this offering process and you can eat it. You can share it with your family, could take it home. I have a morning snack together. It's actually part of the process, the hot top or the sin offering we can get into what send means, but I don't think we need to do that. I'm offering the guilt or trespass offering the Milling meme. Offering us something you almost never here, but that's given here because this is a very special. They're about the commission, the priests they're about to ordain the priests. They're about to commission the Tabernacle. They're starting a whole new thing in this Tabernacle. And so there's a commissioning or an ordination and it's called that kind of an offering. And then there's the peace offering. We usually read a piece or Thanksgiving or Fellowship offering but literally, it's the zoo by the sacrifice hashawha meme. Which we see where the word pieces. They're shalom.
Michael fishbein in his commentary on Leviticus. He's the Jewish publication Society guy. He said that week, that's a very weak term for this. This is a very, very, very special offering. It's not a peace offering. It's not. So you can have peace. It's way bigger than that. House it bigger. Okay. If I were going to, If I Were King and I were going to meet with another king and I wanted to recognize that other king as Superior to me. I'm subservience to him and I'm offering myself and my services to this other king. I would prepare a very special meal and I would take it to the King and I. Offer it to him. It's a sacred gift of reading. And so in the sacrifices that were going through today, this is the only time this is done in the whole Bible. It puts all of these together in one place. And you can say that their one thing, this is one thing thing. It's a burnt offering, its the continual offering, its the land. That's lifted up every morning. It's the the grain offering we can make some bread. We can have a meal together, a little, a little meal. We can offer a sin offering to the king. We can have a freedom from guilt and trespass. We could, we can receive a healing actually from the Lord will being ordained for service. Yeah. Yeah, Hallelujah.
The mission statement of church the Messiah, it's three sees anyone know what they are.
Brilliant, young lady CCC. Yes, yes. Yes.
Called commissioned commanded were called to be a people of God were commissioned to be. His ministers were commanded to love one another and if you can remember called commission commanded you can do a whole teaching on this without knowing the rest of it. I will cover it kind of later on. Anyway, so this whole thing is, so we can have a meal with the king. So we can have this sacred gift of greeting, with the king. That's what the priests are doing. They're preparing themselves to have a sacred meal with the King. Wow. It's a beautiful day. Praise the Lord. Amen. So these are the things out and I, the Lord commanded Moses on Mount Sinai. He didn't command them somewhere else. That's sometimes discuss, but he commanded them on Mount Sinai. That's according to the Bible on the day that they were commanded to do these things. And whenever you see on the day, You kind of can't help but think of the day. The day. You could say today. You could say the day of the Lord. You can say a lot of things on the day. It's a special day. Very, very special day. So we're getting ready. We're going into the holy area here. As as a new priest. We're beginning, our service. We wash our hands and her feet as we prepare. We remove the ashes from the from the day before we are used to sail. It light the fire know, the fire has continually going, it never goes out will rekindle the fire and Stoke at the fresh and we lift up the burnt offering the to meet offering the continual offering of a lamb. First thing in the morning everyday last thing at night every day. We offer a lamb. Soap for me, what part of the system does Christ represent or what? Part of the system, fulfills Christ, sacrifice. And a sense, this continue offering is that this lamb in the morning to slam in the evening and never forget it. You always do it. And it brackets, all the rest of the sacrifices. So, Doug causes some errors. Mm. It's it's one extreme and the Other Extreme and what it means is everything in between. So all of the sacrifices are among there, isn't a complete thing, why? For this sacred meal of greeting, with the King? Hallelujah. Hallelujah. So, as I reflected on this this week, it occurred to me that this is like a liturgy. It's a it's an orderly liturgy set forth by God. And years ago, I was a teenager. Not going to talk about how long. And I was in this big group of teenagers and we were tasked with the idea of scrapping. The Lutheran order of worship completely and starting afresh. So imagine that you're someone starting afresh with a new order of worship and you're going to go before the king. What are you going to do? What what are you going to do? First? What do you think is the most important to do when you come into the presence of the king? Pray. Pray would be good. Yeah, I know. Lord. Won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz. Not that kind of Prayer. Not that kind of Prayer. You think him and thank him for being who he is and for being present and for being real? And you, you say recognize his presence, right? And what do you do next?
You tell him how proud you are that, you did all these wonderful things. Now, what are you do?
You praising, that's another good thing to do at the beginning. You praise. Thank him. What? Humble yourself? Yep.
How about confess?
We confess something before him with knowledge that we've failed in one way or another. And we're asking for his help, the scent off ring. Deep freezers with, from the feeling of guilt. The guilt offering we're ordained. As his people were commissioned, and we can enter into this sacred gift of greeting. So, The whole. liturgical worship of the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, the all the liturgical churches is kind of like this. And I thought not only that, the Lord's Prayer is kind of like that. So I thought that'd be an interesting short tour of my teaching. Our Father, you can you don't have to read it along with me but Our Father who art in this Tabernacle. You Are, Holy. Your kingdom has and will come and your will and purposes will be done. Not only in this Tabernacle, but they're definitely going to be done here. Cuz you're going to make sure we do it right in this Tabernacle. And on this Earth, as it is in this Tabernacle and as it is in heaven.
Continue offering the morning. Offering the lamb sacrificed every day means offering give us this day. Our daily bread. The next offering is the meal offering the bread offering.
Nice bread. Smells good, tastes good. Hot from the oven. You just made it on the fire. We're going to have fun eating that hot offering the sin offering forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven, our debtors.
We remember the lamb when we offer the sin offering. This may have even been the sin offering the continual offering. It's an ol offering. It's completely dedicated completely lift it up, but it's all those things. I taught bring continuing when we Face times of testing in trial, please help us to do what is right and true and good help us to avoid sin and sending and please rescue and protect us from the evil one and also from our own evil inclinations when you're saying the Lord's Prayer, you're actually saying all these words, but we don't think about it, we go over the midnight, their memory words real quick and we don't grapple with what's going on. There's a lot going on when we say the Lord's Prayer. We're not only saying a prayer work knowledge in our involvement in it. We're responsible to be part of this effort. That we're putting forward. We know that you forgive us of our confessed sins. And we thank you and praise you for removing, not only our guilt, but even our feelings of guilt. These are gifts that God gives us. Everyday. And we should be receiving that we should be acquiring them. We should be recognizing that he's freed us not only from the punishment of sin, but even of the presence of sin and even of the feelings of guilt associated with any failing that we might have. Wow. God is so big, man. The military Moss Springs. Ordination offering We save these words without saying them, but when you say the Lord's Prayer, this is one interpretation of what you're saying. Thank you for calling us. How do I go? Church of the Messiah call commission commanded, cool. Thank you for calling us, to be a people of God, the body of Christ, a witnessing Community of Faith. Celebrating our hebraic heritage in your shua, our Lord. I've changed some of the words from our purpose statement, but you get it.
We've been called to be a people of God, a witnessing community. It's a great day. And for commissioning us to equip the Saints for Ministry, walking in the power of the word. And in the power of the holy spirit wear ordained were commissioned. Jesus commissioned is 12. And for commanding us to love one another even as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. We're commanded to love one another and even give of ourselves to each other as necessary as needed for the good of his kingdom. This is my commandment that you love one. Another as I have loved you greater. Love has no one than this that someone lay down his life for his friends. Jesus loves us. Hot shower meme. The sacred gift of greeting and peace. And this is my conclusion, the final words of the Lord's Prayer As We Stand Here In Your Glory? We Proclaim. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory now and forever more. Amen. You see how that's the sacrificial system.
I think it's really cool.
Illumination of the Temple. Mount time of Jesus Hanukkah coming up or Tabernacles just a little while back.
The inside God's glory of God's presence.
God's relationship with us.
We Stand Here In Your Glory for claiming that you are Lord of lords, and King of Kings. Yours is the kingdom and the power, and the glory now and forever more. Amen, good morning. It's a new day.
