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.

Worship has a pattern. It shows how we approach an inapproachable God. How we love and are loved by him. And this pattern; calling, confession, consecration, communion and commission, forms a trajectory for a life with God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  Join us this week as we examine Exodus 24 and consider the pattern God has given us for worship and for life.  

In Exodus, God instructs Israel to apply the moral law to daily life. But ethics are not enough. Only God’s presence & promises make them his people. In Exodus 23 He explains how He will bring them into the land and gives us a map for the Christian life. Join us as we examine Exodus 23:20-33 as we unpack God’s plan to bring His people into promised rest and consider what this plan teaches us about the Christian life. 

Pressed down, shaken together, running over, falling into your lap and down the hem of your robe. This is how the Lord delights to give joy, grace, peace, and rest as the communion of the saints takes visible shape in Lord’s Day worship. Are you ready?  

Join us as we examine Exodus 23:10-19 and consider the blessings the Lord intends for the worship of the gathered people of God.
