Tabernacle on SermonAudio

This sermon examines the first three plagues in Exodus to illustrate the hardness of human hearts and the absolute sovereignty of God over creation. The preacher contrasts Pharaoh's stubborn refusal to submit with the ultimate authority of Christ, who bears judgment for sinners. Key themes include the futility of idolatry, the danger of postponing repentance, and the insufficiency of religious counterfeits compared to divine power. The message urges listeners to surrender their lives to God rather than seeking relief without submission. It concludes by highlighting Jesus as the true Mediator who redeems believers from the curse of sin through His grace.

The sermon contrasts the limited and obsolete nature of Old Testament tabernacle rituals with the supreme, once-for-all sacrifice of Jesus Christ as the perfect High Priest. Drawing primarily from Hebrews 9, it argues that while ceremonial laws and artifacts served as temporary shadows, they could not cleanse the conscience or provide eternal redemption. The preacher emphasizes that the new covenant is unilateral, relying entirely on God's grace rather than human participation which introduces sin. By examining the typology of the tabernacle, the text highlights Christ's holiness, innocence, and exaltation as the sole grounds for salvation. The message concludes by urging believers to maintain a singular devotion to Christ through teaching, fellowship, communion, and prayer.

This sermon explores the raising of Lazarus in John 11 to demonstrate that Jesus is the resurrection and the life. The preacher addresses human impatience with God's timing, explaining that delays often serve a greater divine purpose rather than indicating neglect. It highlights the danger of misplaced focus on circumstances over Christ, using Martha's grief as an example of shifting attention away from faith. The message connects Jesus' resurrection to the concept of firstfruits, establishing Him as the guarantee of future resurrection for all believers. Ultimately, it calls listeners to examine their personal faith and commit to following Jesus with unwavering trust.

Jesus Christ entered into the Most Holy Place, and this is NOT speaking of the Holy of Holies in the earthly tabernacle, NOR of the Holiest Place of the temple… this speaks of Him entering into the very throne room of the Majesty on High and stepping before the actual seat of His Mercy!!

What does a real walk of faith look like? In Hebrews 10:22-25, Pastor Ed Decker challenges believers to examine whether their faith is merely something they profess, or something they are actually living. Are we drawing near to God? Are we holding fast? Are we encouraging one another? Are we faithful to assemble? Faith should leave footprints. Watch this message from Arnold Baptist Tabernacle and ask yourself: Faith walk or fake walk? Scripture: Hebrews 10:22-25 Speaker: Pastor Ed Decker Church: Arnold Baptist Tabernacle

THE BLOOD FROM HEAD TO TOE. LEVITICUS 8:22–24 LEVITICUS 8:22–24 KJV During the consecration of Aaron and his sons, Moses placed the blood of the ram upon Aaron's right ear, right thumb, and right great toe. These unusual details present a powerful picture of complete surrender to God: a consecrated ear that hears God's voice, a consecrated hand that performs God's work, and a consecrated foot that walks in God's ways. This message traces the sacrifice, blood, cleansing, consecration, and glory found throughout Leviticus 7–9 and shows how the Old Testament sacrifices ultimately point us to Jesus Christ and His sufficient sacrifice at Calvary. Before the fire fell in Leviticus 9, blood was shed and applied in Leviticus 8. God still calls His blood-bought people to belong completely to Him—from head to toe.

The earthly tabernacle, with its lampstand, table, and veiled Most Holy Place, was a place of glory—yet also a place of limits. Only the high priest could enter the inner sanctuary, and only once a year, with blood that could never cleanse the conscience. The whole arrangement stood as a signpost, declaring that the way into God's presence had not yet been opened. In this passage the writer of Hebrews draws back the curtain to show us something greater: Christ, our great High Priest, has entered not a sanctuary made with hands but heaven itself, and not with the blood of goats and calves but with His own blood, securing eternal redemption. Where the old covenant could only touch the outward and ceremonial, the blood of Christ purifies the conscience from dead works to serve the living God. Come and see why the shadow has given way to the substance, and why the sanctuary Christ has entered is the better sanctuary.

The sermon explores the profound spiritual blessings believers receive through God's sovereign choice in Christ before the foundation of the world. It emphasizes that salvation is entirely initiated by God, rejecting human merit or philosophical speculation regarding election. The text highlights three key aspects: the Father's plan, the Son's provision, and the Spirit's work in perfecting salvation. Believers are described as chosen to be holy, adopted as children with full privileges, and accepted in the beloved Jesus. This eternal perspective provides assurance, identity, and a call to live out one's purpose in alignment with God's grace.
