Have you ever wanted something so much that you were willing to make compromises to get it?

Why are there so many instructions for the tabernacle? Why has God given some of us unique spiritual gifts? Our God is a God of miracles, but more than that He desires a relationship with us.

We cannot keep our promises, but God chooses to uphold His anyway. God reveals, not only His name, but His character: full of compassion, mercy and love WITH justice.

So many people get lost in their faith as they try to understand why God tells us how to live. It isn't an imposition, but rather His good instruction FOR us. Christ fulfilled the law so we do not have to live perfectly, but it is still...

God has always claimed His people before they "behave." Just as a child belongs to their mother, we belong the the Lord before we do anything.

God always knows what is best for us and will take us right to it ... we just need to walk through it.

God emphatically demonstrates His unique place over all of creation and over our lives as our redeemer.

We know God because He has revealed Himself to us. God makes Himself known to the world and has invited a people into His family.

For over 400 years, the Hebrew people had nowhere to belong, and no reason for hope. They lived in a world where evil was called good. It would have been easy to believe God was absent, but He was not.
