"The Fire and the Fragrance: What Pleases the Lord:" (Leviticus 1:1-5:26) - Vayikra - 4/1/25


What Pleases the LORD? It’s More Than Sacrifice—It’s Surrender.


In this teaching from Leviticus 1–5, we dive into the heart behind the offerings—the fire and the fragrance—what brings delight to the LORD. Why does Scripture repeat “a soothing aroma to Adonai”? What’s the difference between sacrifices of worship and sacrifices for sin? And how does Yeshua fulfill them all?


This powerful message explores how wholehearted devotion—not mere ritual—is what pleases God. Discover how Leviticus, often overlooked, is bursting with meaning for your worship, your obedience, and your calling as part of a kingdom of priests.


🔥 Learn why it’s not just what you bring—but the heart behind it—that becomes a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
