Exodus 28:31-43

Most of us wear our “Sunday best” for church. We try to look a little nicer than normal, as it is, after all, for worship. So too the priests of Israel had fine garments they had to wear when entering into God’s presence. But one Priest didn’t wear them when He made His sacrifice. He didn’t need outward splendor -- He had a splendor all His own. Listen as Dr. Philip Ryken teaches about the splendor of our Great High Priest on Every Last Word.

Exodus 28:15-30

Have you ever wanted to know exactly what God wanted you to do? Decision-making can be difficult, and when it’s time to make an important life choice, people often wish that God would write His will for them in the sky. What they fail to see is that God has revealed His will for them, giving us an instruction manual on how His children should go about learning just what His will is. Listen as Dr. Philip Ryken shines light on how we can know God's will on Every Last Word.

Exodus 27:20-28:14

The priests of the Old Testament were holy men with a holy calling. They were servants of God, offering sacrifices to Him for the entire nation of Israel day and night. They had the high privilege of entering into the Holy Place where God was, wearing sacred and beautiful garments. But they weren’t perfect. They were still sinners -- except for One. Listen as Dr. Philip Ryken shares how this Priest has offered the perfect and final sacrifice on Every Last Word.

Exodus 27:1-19

Many people today say that they want to know God. But what they're really interested in is what God can do for them. They’ve got a lot of questions they’d like him to answer, problems they’d like him to solve, and blessings they’d like him to give. But this is not how God operates. God is holy, we’re not, and before anything else happens, something has to be done about our sin. Listen to Dr. Philip Ryken's teaching on Every Last Word.

Exodus 26:1-37

When the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded in 1986, President Ronald Reagan spoke of the astronauts having “slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God.” This phrase expresses one of our deepest longings. We want to meet with God. We want to see him -- the only problem is, we’re sinners. We stretch the truth. We use our money selfishly. These sins keep us from God. And that’s why we need Jesus. On Every Last Word, Dr. Ryken teaches about Jesus, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. 

Exodus 25:31-40

Do you find it hard to be one of the only Christians at your workplace? How much do you talk about your faith to the other parents at your child’s school? It’s not easy, but there are so many people living in darkness who cross our paths each day who need to hear about the light that God offers to sinners. The only way to have the light of God is to come to faith in Jesus Christ, who said, “I am the light of the world.” That’s a message you can help tell them deliver as you shine for Christ in this dark, dark world. Dr. Philip Ryken encourages us to share the good news on Every Last Word. 

Exodus 25:23-30

In today’s struggling economy, a lot of us have come to a place that we thought we would never be… worrying about how we will meet our needs. If you’ve lost your job, you’re probably worried about how you will pay your bills and provide food for your family. And you may feel like nobody understands or knows your needs. But someone does. And he knows your needs even better than you do. Take heart with Dr. Philip Ryken on Every Last Word. 

Exodus 25:10-22

Have you ever wondered how the Old Testament is relevant to you? Could studying the building plans of God’s Tabernacle help you in your life today? Well, the Bible makes an explicit connection between the tabernacle in Exodus and the coming of Christ. God gave us his Son, just as he gave Israel the tabernacle, only this time he didn’t just pitch a tent! He took on our flesh and blood in order to give us direct access to God. Dr. Philip Ryken shares these important truths on Every Last Word today. 

Exodus 25:1-9

The Bible teaches that, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” The reverse can also be true: that where our hearts are, that is where we put our treasure. So if all this is true, why do we spend so much money on earthly things? Well, it’s because our hearts are hard. But when we give back to God what He has given to us, we have the privilege of participating in God’s work of spreading the Gospel. Dr. Philip Ryken teaches from Exodus on Every Last Word. 

Galatians 6:14

Boasting is never attractive. But have you ever noticed that, despite the fact that nobody likes a bragger, everybody brags anyway? And what about? Our brain power, our muscle power, our buying power...anything that makes us feel like we are better than someone else. But when we come to know Jesus, we humbly realize that we have nothing, except for His cross, to boast about. And for the cross, we should boast eagerly. Dr. Philip Ryken teaches from Galatians on today's episode of Every Last Word.
