The whole Levitical dispensation was unable to give anyone perfect access to God.

A. INTRODUCTION: HEBREWS 10:1-39 The whole Levitical dispensation was unable to give anyone perfect access to God. It was evident because the worshipers had to continually repeat the sacrifices.

Jesus Was Rejected Series

Contributed by Robert Irvine on Apr 23, 2024

Jesus was rejected by his family, by his local religious leaders, by Judas Iscariot, by Simon Peter, and then finally by God. So expect to be rejected if you share the Good News of Jesus Christ and him crucified.

The Old Testament word “hadel” is used in this verse that is transliterated as rejected, but this word has also been used in the Bible to mean forbearing. The word “hadel” is used in Ez 3: when God told the prophet that some will listen to the message but there will also be those who refuse to ...read more

Forgiveness is easy to talk and read about in the Bible. It’s when we have to put it into practice that it can be tough! Forgiveness is wonderful idea, until there’s something to forgive. At a New Year’s party in 1982, Kevin Tunell got very drunk; his friends urged him not to drive but he insisted. ...read more

How God Restores Israel (Ezekiel 37:15-28)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 10, 2024

Over the course of history, empires and tyrants have attempted to eradicate the name and nation of Israel. God has continued to watch over and protect them, and in the future, make Israel the center of the new earth.

Ezekiel 37:1-14 describes the nation of Israel as a desolate valley of dry bones, devoid of life and significance. Ezekiel, like most of his fellow Israelites, had given up on the idea of ever being restored as a country. They were now in the land of Babylon, exiled from everything they had held ...read more
