We are TRANSFORMED by the Word of God
Leviticus 18: 1-3
The Lord said to Moses, “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘I am the Lord your God. You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices.’”
Leviticus 18:22
You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.
GOOD NEWS – Homosexuality as a Moral & Ethical Sin?
We are going to learn two different interpretations on the meaning of “abomination” found in the Book of Leviticus. Does the Bible really define homosexuality as a moral and ethical sin?
SONG – There’s Spirit of Love in This Place (Worship & Song, green book, # 3148)
RESPONSE TO GOD’S GRACE (OFFERING)
Pastor: God wants our love more than God wants our offerings; God cares about our hearts not the amounts of our offerings. (Hosea 6:6).
All: As we count all the blessings God has already given to us, we cheerfully give our offerings to God, the Provider, with grateful hearts. Amen! (2 Corinthians 9:7).
