“From the Thrill of His Glory to the Agony of Rebellion” (Lev. 10) - Sh’mini - 04/28/25
What happens when God’s presence is treated casually?
Leviticus 10 opens with joy and awe—God’s fire falls on the altar, the people shout and fall on their faces. But in the very next moment, that same fire consumes Nadav and Avihu, the sons of Aaron, for offering “unauthorized fire.” What changed?
In this gripping and sobering message, Rabbi Cosmo Panzetta walks through the danger of treating holy things lightly, and the high cost of religious presumption. With clarity and compassion, this teaching explores how to approach God rightly—with awe, humility, and obedience—so that our worship doesn’t drift into rebellion.
👉 Don’t miss this vital message on the holiness of God, the weight of His glory, and the mercy still available when we return to Him.
