SERMON SERIES: Strange Laws And The God Who Wrote Them

 

Anyone who’s read the book of Leviticus knows: God made some strange laws. ...Don’t eat tigers? Make the tabernacle exactly fifteen feet wide? Burn a goat to make God happy?

When you come across some of these commandments you have to wonder, “Why??”

In this series, we'll seek to find out what we can learn about God and ourselves from the weird rules in the Old Testament, and find there's plenty to discover.
