“A glutton is a man who digs his own grave with his teeth”  French proverb.

How much do we as Christians think about how we are to be holy in relation to food.

What does Leviticus have to teach us, and why are we now allowed to eat pigs?

A part of the series.

Does the Church, still need a priest?

As we continue our series on Leviticus, chapters eight and nine leave us asking this very question. But to answer this question, we must first understand the purpose of the Levitical priest.

Join us as we engage with this ancient text, as we discover the purpose of the priest’s of God’s people; and God’s people of priests.
