Preaching is a living activity. The delivery of the Word is meant to be deeply informed by the relationship between pastor and people. There can be no substitute for being present in your own assembly when the Word is preached by your own minister. We strongly encourage you to listen regularly and receptively to the Word preached by your own teaching elder.
With that in mind, we offer the following sermons. If you find them helpful we would be more than happy to hear from you and to get to know you.
Atonement is Central to Our Life with God (Leviticus 16:1-34)
The position of the Day of Atonement in the annual cycle of worship, and in the book of Leviticus, and, indeed, in the Pentateuch indicates its centrality to the life of the people of God with God. In the ceremony of the day, the two goats reveal complementary aspects of forgiveness:
1. The goat of the sin offering shows us Christ covering over our sins in the presence of the living God
2. The scapegoat shows us Christ carrying our sins away into the realm of death
