Sermon: Holiness and Sexuality
Date: July 28, 2013
Series: Leviticus: Coming Back to God
We have a tendency to compartmentalize our lives. Even if we understand that we are called to worship God alone and trust Him for our salvation, we might be prone to think that God’s will has little bearing on our personal lives, our vacations, our careers, or even our finances. In Leviticus 18, we gain a glimpse of the comprehensive nature of God’s will for our lives.

The book of Leviticus is often overlooked because it is perceived to contain unnecessary laws about food, sacrifice, and clothing. This Sunday, we will begin a series of sermons on this book, and we will discover that in this early book of the Bible, we will find a pointed description of the problems that sin has caused us. We will also see the God’s deep desire to restore His people to Himself and help them live up to the high standard of holiness.
