For many, the book of Leviticus is a tedious read, filled with the required sacrifices and the ceremonial requirements of the priesthood. There is little seen in Leviticus that has much to do with the modern Christian believer.

But we must remember that above all, the Law of God, often referred to as the Mosaic Law, is a reflection of the character and nature of God. And among the books of the Law, Leviticus stands out as being especially focused upon the holiness of God, and therefore the requirement of holiness among His people who would be in His presence. A central passage in Leviticus is found in Leviticus 19:2, the the Lord commanding Moses, “Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘You shall be holy, for I, Yahweh your God, am holy.’”

In today's teaching, we look at one of the final chapters in Leviticus, as the Lord prepares His people for inhabiting the Land. It is a final call, as it were, for the people to live holy lives, not to receive redemption, but because they have been redeemed. And in it, we draw three lessons for the believer today:

1. The blessing of obedience
2. The curse of disobedience
3. The faithfulness of the Lord to His promises

Thank you for listening to today's teaching. We pray you will be encouraged as we consider the faithfulness of a Holy, righteous and just God to His promises; for in His faithfulness, we see His grace, mercy and forgiveness on full display.

"You ask me how I know He lives? He lives within my heart." It's a great hymn - but is that really the best answer we can give? The subjective experience of knowing Jesus is real and it matters. But when doubts creep in, when someone pushes back on your faith, or when a long-time believer quietly wonders if any of this is actually true, you need more than feelings. You need evidence. Stefan Johnson walks through the hard, historical case for the resurrection of Jesus Christ - from Thomas physically touching the nail marks, to the disciples watching Jesus chew and swallow a piece of broiled fish, to Paul's bold claim that over 500 eyewitnesses were still alive and available to interview. The burial, the sealed tomb, the Roman guards, the eyewitness testimony recorded in Acts 2 through 5 - it all adds up. Christianity is not a blind leap. The resurrection happened, and the evidence is stronger than you might think.

If 12 men couldn't keep the Watergate cover-up going for three weeks, how did 12 apostles maintain a "lie" about the resurrection for 40 years while being beaten, tortured, and killed? They couldn't—unless it actually happened. This Easter message from Atlantic Gospel Chapel's leadership team traces Jesus' post-resurrection appearances through four Gospel accounts. Grant Nelson opens at the empty tomb, where Roman soldiers passed out cold at the sight of an angel, and women became the first witnesses of history's greatest event. Doug Schorle walks the road to Emmaus, where two disciples' hearts burned as Jesus opened the Scriptures. Ned Brown meets us at the Sea of Tiberius, where Jesus restored Peter with a piercing question: "Do you love me?" And Alex Kremer presents the historical evidence from 1 Corinthians 15—over 500 eyewitnesses, hostile testimony from Jewish leaders, and a converted persecutor named Paul. The resurrection isn't just alive in our hearts. Jesus is actually, bodily, historically alive. And that changes everything.
