What are you wearing?   Are you dressed in the alien righteousness of Christ?   Are you approaching God in the beautiful garments of salvation provided for you?  Or in the filthy rags of your own works?  God offers you a new, gracious wardrobe.  Maybe it is time to change clothes.   Join us as we examine Exodus 28 and consider how the priest’s clothing instructs us to dress in the righteousness of Christ.  

Before Tim Ernst showed us Arkansas’ SSSs (Super Special Spots), God made a place for us where grief, adversity, doubt, and loneliness emerge from dark forests into a spreading vista of grace, peace, fellowship and faith. Corporate worship is The SSS.   Join us this Lord’s Day as we examine Exodus 27:9-21 and consider one of the most glorious features of the Tabernacle, the super special spot God appointed both for his ancient people and for us.  We meet on the square in Pottsville, right next to historic Potts’ Inn at 10:30 am for worship.

The smell of burnt offerings was the smell of grace reminding Israel of God’s gracious promises, fellowship, and assurance. Worship still does this. Though now the smell is sweeter. The sweet aroma of Christ wafting from a clear and complete gospel.  Join us as we examine Exodus 27:1-8 and consider the instructions for the altar of burnt offering and the sweet-smelling gospel that has replaced it.

God’s tent is a marvel of engineering and artistry. A microcosm of Heaven on earth. The place where God bids us draw near yet warns that our approach requires a mediator. A place whose concealed treasures speak of unseen saving faith in an unseen God.   Join us as we examine Exodus 26:1-37 and consider the design, artistry, purpose and promises found in the Tabernacle.  

God’s first creative act was to turn on the light. Light brings clarity, reveals truth, enlivens, and reflects the beauty God made. Eternity will have no darkness, no night. The lampstand in the Tabernacle points to this and much more. Join us as we examine Exodus 25:31-40 and consider the beautiful promises bound up in the Golden Lampstand and the true ‘light of life’ to which it points. 

Bread, once beloved, is now an enemy. But our anti-gluten, pro-keto war on bread comes at a cost. A cost to our health, pleasure, fellowship. And not insignificantly, our theology.  Bread is a big deal in Scripture. God placed it in his own Tent. But why? Join us as we examine Exodus 25:23-30 and consider God’s instructions for a table in the Tabernacle to present the Bread of the Presence and what this bread means for us.
