In addition to the specifics of the Tabernacle, God commands Moses to establish the priesthood of Aaron, beginning with some very fancy clothes and an extensive consecration process. Fortunately for us, we find a better High Priest in Christ! Exodus 28-29

As the instructions for the construction of the Tabernacle continue, we see a lot of barriers. The beautiful and meaningful things that were to be crafted would never even be seen by most people. But the barrier of separation is the point. How can that barrier be overcome? Exodus 26-27

Exodus 25 deals with the instructions from God concerning the construction of the Ark of the Covenant, the table for the Bread of the Presence, and the Lampstand for the tabernacle. All of these things are deeply symbolic and significant, connecting the people not only to what God has done in the past, but also to what He is will do for them in Christ.

We always read the Old Testament Christologically, but Exodus 23:20-24:18 makes the foreshadowing of Christ abundantly clear! As Jesus said in John 5:46, Moses literally wrote about Him! 

To what degree are we required to follow the various specific laws of the Old Testament in places like Exodus 21-23? How should we apply the 10 Commandments in our own context? Exodus 20:18-23:19

Are the 10 Commandments just arbitrary rules? Or are they a formula for prosperity? As we examine the last 6 Commandments, we see clearly that our lives and the world are objectively better when people obey these commands. Exodus 20:12-17

What are the 10 Commandments for? How should we relate to these rules as Christians? As we consider these commands, we see these rules as a benefit and a blessing! Exodus 20:1-11

In preparation for the giving of the Law, God chooses to appear to the people in dramatic and terrifying fashion! The people are left trembling at God’s holiness and power. How should we as believers in Jesus reflect on this reality of God? Exodus 19

Moses is overloaded. He can’t keep up with the needs and complaints of the people. Thankfully, his father-in-law Jethro shows up with some timely advice. His wise words remind us of the blessing of biblical community. Exodus 18

The discontentment of the Israelites increases as they journey toward Sinai, signaling a continued distrust in the Lord. But God proves repeatedly that he is worthy of their trust, and ours! Exodus 17
