We see in Exodus 29:1-9 that what the priests had to go through in order to

be consecrated was pretty unusual.  Lots of sacrifices and blood.  As we

will see in our Exodus study once again, this all points us forward to the

fulfillment in Jesus who offered up the last and final sacrifice.

The priests of Israel were a unique sect of people in Israel.  Special

privileges with God that no one else could partake in had been given to

them.  In Exodus 28:1-5, we will see that Jesus, our great high priest, has

secured those privileges for us through our union with Him.

The last 16 chapters of Exodus major on the tabernacle.  You might wince at

the thought of working through this section.  Not so with Israel...they

were stoked that God would be at the center of their camp.  We'll look at

Exodus 25:1-9 and briefly study the tabernacles's purpose for Israel and

see how Jesus fulfills the tabernacle/temple purpose in our lives today.

A message abut the sanctity of life for both the unborn and the born.

Have you read through the second half of Exodus lately?  It's tough

sledding because we're not sure what to do with some of those strange

laws.  We'll find some answers as well as see the connection that the

writer of Hebrews makes between Exodus and Christ's blood being sprinkled

on our souls.

With North Korea to the west of us and terrorists to the east, war always

appears inevitable.  Jesus says that we should love our enemies.  Does this

mean that Christians are to be pacifists?  As we look to the Scriptures,

we'll draw some conclusions that should help us think more clearly about

this particular issue.

We return to our study in Exodus and in Exodus 19:1-6a we see God entering

in a binding relationship with His people and becoming His treasured

possession.  What does God expect from us?  What can we expect from Him? 

And, how does this help us understand the greatness of our salvation?

The message is from 2 Corinthians 3:7-18 where Paul shows us the power of

beholding the glory of Christ -- that by it we can be transformed into the

likeness of Christ. We will seek to answer questions like, "How do we

behold Christ?" and "What keeps us from looking to Him?

The message title is, "Where is He???" from Matthew 2:1-12.  "Merry

Christmas, Herod, you've been replaced!"  With magi showing up in Jerusalem

declaring that the King of Jews has been born, God once again reveals His

greatness to the world.

The message is from Micah 5:2-4.  With Christmas nearly here, we see more

than a baby lying in a manger.  We see a King who has come for the eternal

security of His people.
