* Peace Offering (Fellowship Offering) is an offering for fellowship with God through Jesus as our peace and a sacrifice for sharing food with our neighbors,
* Do you offer fellowship offerings to God, trusting in the blood of Jesus, the fellowship offering?

1. There are three kinds. Lev. 7: 11-18

 1) Thanks offering (Toda) : Thanksgiving for the blessing, salvation, and help that the Lord has given us. Thanksgiving, Luke 17: 17-19, thankful Samaritans for being lepers. Psalm 107:2.  2) Freewill Offering/Voluntary offering(Nedava). Example of the Voluntary offering. In Exodus Israelites gave thanks to God's grace in the wilderness. Tremendous volunteers to present valuables for the tabernacle material.  3) Vow Offering (Neder).  A sacrifice offered in practice as promised to God. 1Sam. 1:10-11, the sacrifice of Hannah. *The vow is to be careful and be practised. cf. De 23:21.
 * Do you give peace offerings in thanksgiving, freewill, and vow?

2. The fellowship offerings (1,6, 12) 1) Herd, sheep, goats. Herd - Lord's patience, love. 2) Sheep - meekness, humility. 3) Goat : Offerings instead of me. 2) Not bird. 3) Both men and women should be reconciled to God.

 * Are you offered as sacrifices like herd, sheep, goat?

3. How to sacrifice peace offering (2, 8, 13) 1) Ordination on the head of the sacrifices. 2) Sprinkle their blood

4. Offering and distribution of sacrifices (3-5,9-11,14-17).

 1) Offer God all the fats, both kidneys, the covering of the liver : precious, deep inside, Psalm 103:1.
 2) Priests and their family - hind legs, chest area,

 3) Worshipers and neighbors - Most meats and feast with neighbors (Deuteronomy 12:17,18).

 4) The meat of his fellowship offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the day it is offered; he must leave none of it till morning. In case of freewill and vow offering, they must eat them within next day. On the third day they should be burned.

5. Peacemaking (1) Peace with God (Romans 5:1)

 2) Enjoyment of peace (Romans 5:11, rejoicing)
 3) Enjoyment with neighbors (Rom. 1,2:8 Ephesians 2:14-17, preaching of Jesus ) * 2 Cor, 5:18-19.

Give your precious time, talents, gifts, and life by laying on the offering. Do you not want to be thankful and to live in peace with God and live peacefully every day and preach to your neighbor the Lord of peace? Amen.
