What do ancient animal sacrifices have to do with following Jesus today?In this message from our “Faith for Foodies” series, we dig into the Old Testament barbecue—specifically, the sacrificial system described in Leviticus and throughout the Old Testament. At first glance, it might look primitive, irrelevant, or even disturbing. But when you take a closer look, the smells of the altar are full of meaning, pointing forward to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.We explore how these offerings—especially the burnt offering (Leviticus 1), the fellowship offering (Leviticus 3), and the Day of Atonement rituals (Leviticus 16)—were never about feeding God or earning favor through performance. They were shadows of a better sacrifice to come. As Hebrews 10:1–14 reminds us, the law was only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves.Jesus fulfilled the entire sacrificial system by offering Himself once for all (Hebrews 10:10). His death wasn’t just a transaction—it was an invitation. You don’t have to earn your way into God’s presence anymore. The work is finished. The way is open. The table is set. You’re invited.If you’ve ever wondered why the Old Testament talks so much about sacrifice—or if you’ve felt like you need to “do more” to be right with God—this message will lead you to freedom, grace, and a renewed joy in the finished work of Christ.Main Scriptures:Leviticus 1, 3, 16Hebrews 10:1–14Watch now and rediscover how Jesus is the better sacrifice—and why His invitation is better than anything we could earn on our own.For more information about our church community, or to partner with us, go to www.creekside.cc.

Have you ever felt like God was giving you just enough to scrape by—but never quite enough to breathe easy? In this message from our Faith for Foodies series, Pastor Luke walks through the story of manna in the wilderness (Exodus 16) to explore how “just enough” can actually be a sign of God’s faithful presence, not His absence.From daily bread to daily trust, this week’s teaching connects the Old Testament rhythm of dependence with Jesus’s invitation to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread” (Matthew 6:11). Along the way, we’ll uncover how the bread from heaven was never just about food—it was always about forming hearts that trust.📖 Key Texts:Exodus 16:1–20Deuteronomy 8:3Matthew 6:11John 6:48–51Worship, Communion, and a practical invitation to pray with faith in God’s enough-ness—join us as we discover that just enough is the perfect portion when God is teaching you to trust Him one day at a time.For more information about our church community, or to partner with us, go to www.creekside.cc.
