Worship Me This Way
Drawing from Leviticus 21 and 22, Pastor Joel examines God's specific requirements for priestly conduct and acceptable offerings, applying those principles to the lives of New Testament believers. Just as the Old Testament priests were required to remain ceremonially clean and offer unblemished sacrifices, believers today are called to approach God in holiness, offering the first fruits of their time, talents, finances, and attention rather than leftovers. Pastor Joel emphasizes that worship is not merely a Sunday activity but a reflection of how one lives throughout the week. Unconfessed sin, halfhearted service, and blemished offerings dishonor God's name and fall short of what He deserves as the King of kings. Through the blood of Jesus, believers are cleansed and made fit to serve, but that grace does not eliminate the call to continual, wholehearted, costly sacrifice.
