In Exodus 31:1-6, Betzalel was the chief artisan of the Tabernacle and was in charge of building the Ark of the Covenant, assisted by Oholiab. As he carefully followed the Lord's instructions and intricately crafted The Tabernacle, he no doubt felt the pleasure of God. Do you feel the pleasure of God as you work, interact with family, and serve those around you? Listen as Pastor Rick leads us through Exodus 31.

Have you ever heard the phrase, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me?" This could not be further from the truth! Our words have immense power in the lives of others, for the good or bad. Join Pastor Rick as he teaches through James 3 and examines the Power of the Tongue.

Join Pastor Scott Miller for his final message here at Salem. We will examine the church of Antioch in Acts 11, and it will be our model for keeping it going as individuals, families, and church families.

Are good deeds important for Christians? Our good deeds do not produce salvation, for salvation comes through faith alone in Jesus Christ. However, our deeds, actions, and words are direct evidence of our faith and the work of Jesus in our lives. We want to have a faith that serves. A faith that serves includes a change in priorities, leads to sacrifice, and is always under construction. Listen as Pastor Scott continues to lead us through the book of James.

The construction of the Tabernacle was completed with a pattern, provision, and purpose. Every piece of material had a specific space and measurement, and its purpose was to point to our coming Savior, Jesus Christ. Join Pastor Rick as we examine the scripture and discover the Tabernacle in Exodus 35.

Luke 2:5-12

Familiarity can sometimes lead us to take things for granted, including Christmas. Let’s be like the shepherds who heard the amazing story of Jesus from the angels.  Let’s follow Christ right away, share Him with others without delay, and live in an amazing way as Jesus’ followers. Keep celebrating Jesus!

Matthew 5:31-32

God is radically pro-marriage because divorce hurts so many people. God’s marriage plan includes partnership priority, strong loyalty, and moving forward with purpose and unity. Let’s make a lifetime commitment to God and our spouse!

In our culture, honesty and integrity are decreasing. Jesus prioritizes both of these qualities and gives us the by-products of honest integrity. And when we live with honest integrity, the blessings are life-changing for us and those with whom we interact. Let’s practice His presence every moment of every day!
