Sermon text: Leviticus 9:1-24; Leviticus 10:1-20
Joy and Judgment in the Presence of God
In Leviticus 9–10, God’s presence brings both joy and danger—He welcomes His people, but not on their terms. The same fire that accepts the sacrifice also judges what is out of place, showing that God is holy and cannot be managed. The problem is not just what we do, but how we approach God, often trying to stay in control. Through Jesus, we can now come with confidence, and His presence no longer destroys us—it transforms us.
