Leviticus 19:1-2
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them, You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.”

I. God Desires to Dwell With us (Lev. 16:29-34)
II. God is Absolutely Holy And He Calls His People to be Holy (Lev. 19:2)
III. We Are Sinful but God’s Grace Transforms Us (Lev. 4:1–3, cf Lev 15)

Introduction
1. Leviticus is where many people “get lost” reading the Bible and lose momentum. Have you had that experience — and what made it hard?

2. Before asking “What does this mean for me?”, what changes when we first ask “What does this show me about God?”

Into the Text
3. God desires to dwell with us. (Lev 16) The Day of Atonement sits at the centre of the Torah. Why does it matter that forgiveness is at the heart of God’s first self- revelation?
4. One goat sacrificed, one sent away alive — sins carried off, remembered no more. How does this “living metaphor” help us to understand Christ as the perfect sacrifice of atonement? (see also Heb 10:11-14) 
5. God is holy and calls us to be holy (19:2). Why is it good news, not arrogance, that God is devoted to his own glory?
6. Nadab and Abihu (Lev 10) — his holiness exposes our unholiness. When has God’s holiness exposed something in you?
7. We are sinful, but grace transforms us. Leviticus shows us a picture of life in the real world; we sin deliberately and unintentionally, and every day we wade through an unclean word (4:1-3; 5:1,6:1ff; chap 15). Sitting with that and Romans 7:21-25, what does it stir in you?
8. Jesus fulfilled the whole law and now dwells within those that belong to him. How does that change the way you’d read Leviticus? How does it change the way you think about pursuing holiness?
 
Application 
9. Some grow “too comfortable” with grace; others are “tormented by guilt.” Which is closer to you — and how would you let God meet you there this week? 
10. Name one concrete area to pursue holiness — how can the group pray for and encourage you in it?
