This teaching explains that worship is never initiated by humanity but always begins with G-d’s commands. Shabbat is presented not as a day of worship but as a day of rest that points toward the Kingdom of G-d. Messiah identifies Himself as the L-rd of Shabbat, revealing His authority as King of that Kingdom.

Through Leviticus chapter 10, the message examines the actions of Nadav and Avihu, who attempted to worship G-d according to their own desires rather than His instructions. Their offering of unauthorized fire demonstrates that worship originating from human preference leads to judgment rather than blessing.

The teaching emphasizes that sanctification occurs only when worship aligns with G-d’s purposes. Obedient worship positions believers to hear from G-d and understand His plans for their lives. Scripture shows that redemption, not merely atonement, enables access to G-d’s presence through a greater High Priest.

The message concludes by affirming that worship rooted in truth and obedience leads to transformation, guidance,  and a life that glorifies G-d.
