    A continuation of an expository series on the Book of Genesis. In this sermon we look at the curse on Canaan. Why the curse was given and what it would mean later on.

     | 7,227 views

    explanation of why we don't adhere to the Levitical laws or the sacrifices. Paul teaches that Gentiles should not enslave themselves to the old Jewish Law.

    During our Bible study in Leviticus, we have been studying the laws that God gave to the Israelites as a result of the Mosaic Covenant that He made with them. When we read these laws, it is very apparent that we no longer keep many of them, but how do we know what to keep and what not to keep? If ...read more
