Join us for Leviticus?

Wanna Learn Leviticus?
Sunday, October 2, The City Church started a several-month journey through the confusing, bloody, embarrassing, potentially-angering book of Leviticus. The news has apparently caused a (very minor, but very exciting!) stir: there were over 620 webviews of our first Leviticus page in the past two weeks, people in at least five states have started following our podcast specifically to get this content, and our Discussion Guide's introduction and part one .pdf's have been downloaded several times, even though we gave out hard copies to folks in The City Church.

You're Invited to Join Us Too
Whether you're in Fort Worth, Kentucky, or China, we'd love to have you walk vicariously with us over these coming months. It's very simple, but we encourage you not to do it alone - so grab a couple friends and...

1. Reply to this post and let us know a) where you are and b) that you're joining us - we'll do our best to check in occasionally
2. Listen to the podcast or watch the sermon video - both available here
3. Download the Discussion Guide (more on this below)
4. After working through the sermon and Discussion Guide, meet up and walk through each week's questions together
5. Be amazed by God, glory, grace, worship, your call, your ministry, and so much other amazing content we'll see in Leviticus!

What's The Point of the Discussion Guide?
Simply put, Leviticus has too much content to cover in each week's sermon - unless we want to be in Leviticus for many decades. So the Discussion Guide comes alongside sermons and fill in the gaps. Each week contains five sections:

• How to Read this Passage: a breakdown of each week's verses, to help you understand how they fit together.
• Issues to Note: cultural nuances, technical issues, symbolism, etc - basically, details in that weeks' passage that are lost on today's readers
• Themes to Consider: this section ties themes from each week's passage to broader biblical themes, to help you see how Leviticus fits God's story
• Questions to Ask: in addition to fueling late-night thinking and prompting blog posts, these questions will inform Village discussion, discipleship groups, personal reflection, etc.
• Questions for Kids: our KidCity team has crafted a great curriculum for Leviticus, following the biblical themes the adults are covering. Parents and Villages alike can follow this simple, meaningful section with your kiddos.

How you stay on track? How do you make sure you're reading the right content each week? Here's the deal: we're addressing Leviticus in four "sections," or four "Parts." An Introduction and Part One are already available for download (links above), and we'll post Parts Two through Four in the coming months. On the first page of each Part, you'll see an introduction and schedule for that Part. But for your convenience, here's the schedule for Part One:

Ready? Go.
I think that covers the basics. As a summary, sermon + discussion guide = good Village discussion. But neither of those replace actually reading Leviticus. Our stuff, and everyone else's, is simply commentary. As we said on Sunday, "God's word reveals God, and Leviticus is God's word." Read it! Again, let us know what questions you have, and thanks in advance for walking virtually with us, through this great, unknown, rich part of God's Word! It's an honor.
