Leviticus Reading Plan
STARTS WEEK OF MAY 10, 2021 (NEW SERIES BEGINS MAY 15/16)
Leviticus - yep that’s the Old Testament book you usually skip over when reading the Bible. It is full of smoke and fire and blood — very messy indeed. However, there’s a life code described between the written lines, a life code of order and worship. Learn how to read, study, and experience Leviticus, a ancient book for contemporary spirituality.
