Episode Synopsis


What does it mean to lay hands on a man of God—and what does it require of us in return? In this sermon, R.J. Rushdoony unpacks the deep biblical roots of the laying on of hands, revealing it not as a mere ceremony of ordination, but as a covenantal act that binds the whole congregation to shared service under Christ. More than institutional formality, it is a reminder that all believers are consecrated to God’s work, and that every act of worship commits us afresh to His kingdom, His authority, and His calling.
