How does Exodus end? After the people repent and follow the Lord's instructions in building the tabernacle, we see the Glory of God dwelling among the people in the cloud over tabernacle by day and fire by night, pointing us to the fact that God seeks to be with us, his people, and that believers are blessed by the presence of God in the Holy Spirit.

Do we see ourselves in the people of these chapters of Exodus? We must, as followers of Christ, see the greivous nature of our rebellion and sin against God. But we must also see the love and graciousness of the LORD, who relents from his wrath due to the intercession of Moses, which shadows the work of Christ on the cross and right now in heaven.

As we welcome Hugo Concha, the director of Hispanic Ministries in the Southeast EFCA, and his family, we are taught from Acts 1:1-8. We seek to understand how central our walk with Jesus must be to our lives, looking at the example of the apostle Peter and the evidence of a man who was changed by his time spent with Jesus. Can others say the same about us?

As we celebrate VBS Sunday by welcoming families and their kids who help to lead worship, we turn to a topical sermon to better appreciate the creativity of our God who is the Creator of heavens and earth, and who makes us a new creation through the life, death and resurrection of Christ.

What is happening while Moses is up on the mountain with the LORD? Meanwhile, the people have decided to take matters into their own hands by forming their own idea of who God is and then worshipping it. The first step for us is to identify ourselves with the people and to seek out Jesus as he truly is with humble hearts, knowing that we too have our own idols just like those people, and that only Jesus is worthy of our worship.

How does God conclude his encounter with Moses on the mountain? The goodness and importance of the Sabbath is seen in the punishment for breaking the law and in the giving of this practice of rest to humanity, forcing us to acknowledge weekly that we are unable to earn righteousness through our own efforts.

How can a good God allow good people to suffer? The answer is found in understanding the role suffering plays in developing real faith...and real joy.

God wants His people to be 100% committed to Him - to be 'all in.' In today's text, Pastor Eric helps us see four examples from Exodus where Israel truly was 'all in,' and how these ideas apply to our lives today.

How is our faith encouraged by learning of the priestly garments and their detailed and beautiful workmanship? Listen as Pastor Eric takes us through the role and garments of the priests, and how Jesus is our eternal High Priest, calling us to himself as a royal priesthood and a chosen people.

How is furniture supposed to help us worship and live lives worthy of our calling? Join along and see how we learn that the furniture of the tabernacle is the stage on which the story of the Exodus is retold to Israel, and how we can apply that to our lives around 3000 years later.
