DOES GOD’S WORD TO MOSES STILL MATTER?

God called Israel out of Egyptian slavery. The book of Leviticus tells the amazing story of what happens next. God speaks to Moses and Israel learns how to be God’s people. But would they honor Him as their God? What if God called you? What would you do? Does God’s word to Moses still matter to us today?

Greg Taylor takes you back in time to 1400 B.C. and the world of Leviticus. The original title of the book in Hebrew means, "He Called." The title comes from the first line in Hebrews that says, "Yahweh called to Moses." Leviticus is the story about how Moses, his brother Aaron the priest, the Levites, and all the people of Israel learn to listen to God.

Out of Egypt is a guide for learning the importance of Old Testament books like Leviticus. Do we still practice what is taught in Leviticus about animal sacrifices? Why did God require these and what words of God's do we still believe we ought to practice in the days after Jesus Christ entered the world.

Each chapter shows how Christians can learn from Leviticus yet live under the new covenant of Jesus Christ. Questions at the end of each chapter provide a way for small group Bible studies to discuss. Questions include, "What do you like and dislike about the story?" and "What is the message to the original hearers?" and "What is God saying that is still relevant to us today?" and "Who can you share this story with this week?"

Ultimately the book leads you as a reader to engage in the book of Leviticus fully and ask the question, "What does God want me to do today?"
