Leviticus 20 — Be holy as the LORD is holy: How to be a “holy tenant” in God’s land.

Rev. Dr. Curtis Deterding of Zion Lutheran Church, Fort Myers, FL joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study Leviticus 20.

The situation surrounding Israel was beyond sinful: child sacrifices, mediums, disrespect towards authorities, and sexual immorality. As the LORD was the landlord of the promised land, He warned the Israelites that He desires holiness so that they may continue to live with Him. We are called to be holy and by His grace He gives us the “landlord guidelines” to be holy tenants here on earth and in Christ, with Him in eternity. “O Holy Spirit, sanctify us by the blood of Christ. Renew us in Christ, that the power of sin may not rule our lives and temptations may be stilled. Lord have mercy. Amen”
