Tabernacle on SermonAudio

This sermon concludes a study of the book of Zechariah by examining Chapter 14, which details the events of the Day of the Lord, the seven-year tribulation, and the subsequent millennial reign. The teaching highlights the physical return of Jesus Christ to the Mount of Olives, the resulting geological changes in Jerusalem, and the defeat of the nations gathered against the city. It emphasizes that God actively intervenes in human history to judge the wicked and preserve a remnant of Israel, who will experience spiritual redemption and physical safety. The passage further describes the establishment of God's kingdom, where all nations are required to worship the Lord during the Feast of Tabernacles, and even common objects become holy under His sovereign rule. The tone is instructional and eschatological, urging believers to understand God's sovereign plan and the certainty of His future intervention.

This sermon explores the theological significance of the Feast of Unleavened Bread in Exodus 12, connecting the removal of leaven to the believer's sanctification and the burial of Christ. The message emphasizes that while the Passover lamb points to redemption, the unleavened bread illustrates the necessity of removing sin from one's life as a response to that grace. It highlights the importance of ordinances like baptism and the Lord's Supper as visible reminders of God's deliverance, urging believers to maintain a consistent holiness throughout the week rather than observing a superficial, Sunday-only piety. The sermon further interprets the application of blood with hyssop as a picture of faith resting on Christ's finished work, and concludes with a call to preserve the story of redemption for future generations through teaching and worship.

Fire came down from heaven, and the glory of the LORD filled the house. When Israel saw what God had done at the dedication of Solomon's temple, the people bowed down and worshipped. Does witnessing a powerful moment mean it has shaped our worship and our lives? Join Pastor Ed Decker of Arnold Baptist Tabernacle for a message drawn from 2 Chronicles 5:11–7:3 and 2 Chronicles 7:12 in the King James Bible. These passages show united praise, Solomon's prayer, God's glory filling the temple, fire consuming the sacrifice, the people's worship, and God's answer: "I have heard thy prayer." The central question: Were you changed by the glory—or did you just feel the heat?

Hebrews 8:1-9 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; 2A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. 3For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. 4For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: 5Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. 6But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. 7For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. 8For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 9Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

What was the Passover? Why were the Israelites instructed to mark their doors with blood, eat unleavened bread, and remember that night? This Sunday School study considers those questions alongside Paul's declaration that Christ is our Passover. 1 Corinthians 5:7 (KJB): "Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:" Key themes: The Passover in Egypt; the lamb and the blood; the feast of unleavened bread; Christ our Passover; sincerity and truth.

Like a bottle in the smoke, our most difficult, trying and adverse times in life can cause much perplexing distress! We can benefit by seeing how the psalmist details what it is like when we are like a bottle in the smoke, and how he found comfort in the word of God.

This sermon explores the intersection of biblical geography and scientific discovery, using the example of Matthew Fontaine Maury to illustrate how Scripture contains truths that guide human understanding of the natural world. The speaker examines passages in Job and Genesis to highlight aspects of creation that remain mysterious or distinct from modern scientific models, such as the pre-flood water cycle and the specific layout of the Garden of Eden. By analyzing the directional flow of rivers and the placement of the Tree of Life, the message encourages believers to read the Bible with a mindset of discovery and trust in God's design. The discussion connects these ancient geographical details to the theological significance of the Tabernacle and the New Jerusalem, presenting them as reflections of heavenly realities. Ultimately, the sermon invites the audience to view the physical world through the lens of divine providence and scriptural authority.
