The resurrection of Jesus was amazing all by itself. However, the fact that Jesus “called his shot” so to speak, before it happened makes it even more incredible! He called it, it happened, and we believe it!

One of the saddest moments in the Old Testament takes place in Exodus 32. The Israelites turn from God and worship an idol. It was the ultimate “stabbed God in the back” moment of the exodus. How Moses dealt with their idolatry is how it should be dealt with today. Idols must be identified, and completely removed from our lives. God and God alone is to be worshiped. Nothing could be clearer from this last message in the Rescued series!

Join us this week as our Connections Pastor, Cody Ragland talks about the requirements of the priest, and how God filled specific people with His Spirit to help in the building of the Tabernacle.

How does God draw near today? In the Old Testament, it was through the tabernacle. Today, we draw near to God through Jesus Christ and through Jesus Christ alone. What God started with the Tabernacle, Jesus finished with the cross. The veil of separation has been torn away and God desires to commune with each of us individually.

When someone says “seal the deal” - we understand that to mean that an agreement has been reached and it’s time to sign the dotted line. In Exodus 23 and 24, God will seal the deal with the Israelites and the Old Covenant was born. A covenant built on trust and obedience. This covenant still has much to teach us today as followers of Christ!
