Sacrifices in the Backyard (Remaster)

What are spiritual sacrifices? What should we offer to God in modern times without a temple?

Christ’s Sacrifice Once for All: Is the Levitical Priesthood Replaced? addresses one of the most misunderstood issues in New Testament theology. Did Yeshua’s once-for-all sacrifice abolish the Levitical priesthood and sacrificial system? Many say yes—but Scripture tells a different story. In this episode, we examine what the Book of Hebrews really says, and how the apostles, prophets, and Yeshua himself viewed the priesthood and sacrifices. We also unpack how animal sacrifices functioned on an earthly level, and how Messiah’s sacrifice functions on a heavenly level—removing any contradiction between them.

Responding to critiques of ancient sacrifices, this teaching explains the purpose of temple offerings, how they reflected reverence and repentance, and why they cannot be equated with modern notions of animal abuse.

Many believe and teach that because Messiah made the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, that the animal sacrifice no longer applies nor has a place. Some go so far as to say animal sacrifices are actually an affront to Messiah’s work of redemption. Scripture, however, appears to say otherwise.
