Coffee with the Superintendent

The Burnt Offering and the Aroma of Christ

In this episode of Coffee with the Superintendent (April 11, 2025), we explore Leviticus 1 and the powerful foreshadowing of Christ found in the burnt offering. From the requirement of a spotless sacrifice to the total consumption by fire, each detail reveals a characteristic of Jesus—our perfect, obedient Savior. We reflect on how Jesus fulfilled every aspect of this offering and how believers in 2025 can live in the freedom of grace as “living sacrifices” in our homes, classrooms, and communities. Plus, we celebrate birthdays, highlight today’s Jesus Theatre performance, and cheer on our Bulldogs in Varsity Soccer and Softball.

The Covenant Renewed: Mercy in the Wake of Failure

In today’s episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, we turn to Exodus 34:10-28, where God, in His mercy, renews His covenant with Israel following their great failure with the golden calf. We explore the historical context of this renewal, how the festivals and covenant commands pointed to Christ, and how Jesus fulfills every law, promise, and sacrifice. We also reflect on how we, as believers in 2025, are called to live in faithful remembrance, joyful obedience, and awe-filled worship of our covenant-keeping God.

Plus, we celebrate student and preschool birthdays, look ahead to middle school sports, enjoy pizza in the cafeteria, and dig into Christ-centered school governance in our accreditation standards.

Pour your coffee and join us for truth, grace, and growth in the BBA community.
