As God continues to establish His relationship with His people and a way of life centered around worship, He now provides instructions to set apart and clothe Aaron and his sons as priests.

The overarching purpose of these priestly garments is stated in Exodus 28:2 and 28:40: “...for glory and for beauty.”

God gives Moses instructions on how to construct the tabernacle, the altar of burn offering and the court of the tabernacle. Why?

Pastor Andy deHoog

As Jesus approaches Jerusalem for the last time, he instructs two of his disciples to obtain a specific donkey, telling them that if anyone questions them, they are to say simply, “The Lord needs it.” Cloaks are placed on the donkey and spread on the ground, along with palm branches, creating a kind of ‘royal red carpet’ as Jesus rides into Jerusalem as the humble, yet triumphant, King of Israel. The crowds shout praises, including the word “Hosanna!”, which means “Save us, please!” 

The whole city is stirred, and the people ask, “Who is this?” 

The answer given is, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”

Pastor Andy deHoog

As a result of the fall (Genesis 3), the common human condition apart from hope in Christ is that we are separated from God, deaf to the voice of God, starving for the Word of God, and blind to the light of God's face.

In the tabernacle God restores glimpses of His presence - His word, His life, and His light - fulfilled in Christ and restored forever in eternity.

Pastor Andy deHoog

Our good intentions are no match for God's perfect action demonstrated in the sacrificial blood of Christ.

Pastor Andy deHoog

God redeems us to root us - in His people, His presence, and His purpose.

Pastor Andy de Hoog

Jesus reveals the true heart of the law: love.

Love must shape our worship.

Love must overarch our sense of justice.

Love must motivate restorative action.

Love must catalyze care for the vulnerable.

Speaker Caden deHoog

Despite how restricted I may feel, God's law is designed for human flourishing/freedom and it points to Jesus.

Pastor Andy deHoog

God comes down in grace, reveals His holiness, and calls a people to belong to him and respond to him in obedience - ultimately through Jesus.

Pastor Andy deHoog

God does His best work where our limits are most obvious, pointing us to Jesus, who is everything we lack.
