Welcome to Central Baptist Church!  I hope you have a good worship experience Sunday.  May you have a blessed encounter with God as you do.  If you are a guest and would like to get to know us better, I encourage you to stop by the welcome desk in the foyer for information about the church and a coupon for a free Wednesday meal for your family.  We would love to have you join us then, too! And let me know if you would like to visit with me to answer questions about CBC.

This year, I’ve challenged the church to read the Bible through (schedules are available on the welcome desk.)  Last week, we started reading Leviticus.  This is just about the time that a lot of folks get bored and stop reading.  -- Why do we need know about all the sacrifices and priestly laws when we are not subject to them today? 

Maybe better questions would be, “What did those sacrifices and laws represent -Why did they do them -Why do we need to know about them?”  The answer: The sacrifices were offerings.  Some of them were specified for whenever a person committed sin.  Some were freewill offerings, some for specific times of thanksgiving.  Some were tithes to be given as a recognition of God’s continual blessing.  But all of them forced a person to really think about why they gave.  In some cases, they got the blood on their own hands from the sacrifice.  They were graphic reminders that the offering was more than just ‘money’.   These days,  I don’t think we ponder our “tithes and offerings” enough.  Why do you give?  -Or do you give at all?  What do your offerings tell God?
