We are wrapping up the building of the Mishkan (Tabernacle) of God. The people did all Moses told them to do and he blesses them in the end for it. Now Moses turns around and puts together the Mishkan the way God wants it done. As a result of all of this obedience the glory […]

What an Amazing God We Serve
What’s amazing about God is that even though Israel messed up with the golden calf, He was still willing to dwell in the midst of them. He was willing to keep His promise and lead them to the promise land. He didn’t leave them to figure things out for themselves. He didn’t forsake them like […]
God Equips You for His Glory, Not Yours
The thing I love about God is that He always equip you with what you need to accomplish what He called you to do. And if He has to He will give the gift you need to complete the task before you just like He did Bezalel. Everything needed to build and beautify the Mishkan, […]
Which Scriptures in the Bible Can You Use to Prove You’re Following the Most High God?
In ancient times every god had their own days of celebration. When you kept that day everyone around you understood which god you were honoring and following. To not participate in a god’s celebration day indicated you had no dealings with that god. The Great I AM was no different. He established feast days of […]
How Do You Respond to God’s Favor on Your Life?
Associating God’s favor with material things is the way most people measure God’s favor on their lives – the bigger the house, the more expensive the car, or the popularity. That’s not how Moses viewed God’s favor. First he associated God’s favor to knowing his name. Now you might say, “Well, God knows everyone’s name.” […]
Order the People to Keep the Light Burning All Night
We’ve come to the part of the Bible where most people either skim through or skip over entirely. It’s filled with details on building the Mishkan (Tabernacle), its furnishings and utensils, and its surrounding wall and everything that belonged inside the wall. We say we get the gist of it and move along. I’m here […]
The Blueprint of God’s House Should Excite You to Learn More
When God decided to dwell in the earth He wanted to create a home away from home. Thus, He showed Moses His Temple in heaven and admonished him to follow it exactly. He wasn’t to deviate from it, add to it or take away from it. After collecting contributions, the very first thing God tells […]
A Willingness to Give to God to Build Him a Home in the Earth
God asked Moses to take a contribution for Him. This contribution was to be used to build the Mishkan (Tabernacle), the dwelling place of God. It would be the place where God would meet with Moses to instruct him so he could instruct the people. This place would allow God to live in the midst of […]
The Book of the Covenant Belongs to God, Israel, and You
The Exodus event was a marvelous sight. There were hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people who were led out of horrible slavery by a man who represented an invisible God. This invisible God obliterated the major gods of Egypt, who they could see in statue form. Absolutely amazing! Now they’re in the wilderness, […]
How Should we look at the Ten Commandments Today?
We have grown up with the term “the ten commandments” without actually knowing what they say or if there really are just ten of them. We have been taught by our parents, the church, movies, and cartoons that God gave Israel, not us, the ten commandments. The word commandment also has a negative connotation for […]
