Sacrifice

It's 4 in the afternoon here. Working on the finishing touches for the East London Gospel Partnership handout and listening to Live. The younger Hub starts in an hour.
Last time we talked to the guys about the provision God made for sin in the Old Testament. Tonight, we're going to let them experience what those sacrifices may have been like. Don't worry, we won't actually kill a goat. We've gotten a pinata from a party store that looks like a goat. We spray painted it grey this morning. A couple of the guys have already been around to see us today, and they were asking if they'd get to beat it with a stick. I told them it'd be even better than that.
The plan is to read them the instructions for making a sin offering from Leviticus, then have them go outside, where they will put their hands on the goats head and say something they're ashamed of. Then we'll tear the goat apart and burn it!
