Lambs Slain and the Lamb Slain: An Examination of the OT Sacrificial System (Part 2)

Last week, we began a study of the OT sacrificial system by examining its practice, that is, the various forms of sacrifice required of the OT saint. This week, we continue our discussion by exploring the purpose of OT sacrifices.

Lambs Slain and the Lamb Slain: An Examination of the OT Sacrificial System (Part 1)

The pages of Scripture are bloodied with the theme of sacrifice. From beginning to end, God has woven into the fabric of redemptive history the crimson thread of slain offerings, and most significantly, the slain Lamb of God, Jesus Christ. For all its glory, the sacrificial death of Christ can be seen most clearly in relief against the background of the OT sacrificial system. Over the next several week, we will engage in an exploratory study of OT sacrifice, namely examining its practice, its purpose, the problem it poses, and its relationship to the promises of Christ’s sacrifice. Today, we begin with the practice of OT sacrifice.

2011 Christmas Music Roundup

A chill is in the air, stockings have been hung, and every square inch of your life has been inundated with a crush of Christmas music. And just like the Christmas gifts you get, not all Christmas music is created equal. Some you already have, some need to be returned, and some are absolute keepers. Here's a list of keepers for your Christmas collection.

A Virtual Tour of Lighthouse

"Welcome to Lighthouse! We're so glad you could stop by for a visit. You've never been here before? Let me take you on a quick tour of our church."

"This foyer is what greets you when you first step through our doors. You like those curved panels suspended from the ceiling, too? They remind me of rays light emanating from the sun, which is what Lighthouse is supposed to be: a light to the cross."

New Site. Same Church.

A church is more than a building. And yet buildings have their roles to play. After years of waiting on the Lord's timing, he has seen fit to give us a more permament building to use for ministry. Starting on Sunday, September 11, 2011, Lighthouse Community Church will be located at 501 Van Ness Avenue, Torrance, CA 90501.

Here's how you can help make the transition to our new home one that honors the Lord.

A Call to Complain

Is it okay for Christians to complain?

Beginnings

Beginnings are important. Particularly in stories, good beginnings are able to excite us about the journey that the ensuing tale will bring us on. And as great as the previous beginnings are, they cannot compare with the greatest beginning of the greatest story ever told: “In the beginning, God created heaven and earth” (Gen 1:1).

Beholding Our Trinitarian God

We hope you enjoyed Josh Kira's message two Sundays ago on the doctrine of the Trinity. Make no mistake about it, the Trinity is a difficult doctrine. But it is a magnificent one, and I would it commend it to you as worthy of a lifetime of study and devotion.
