Good Morning “Guilty of Sin.”  Today we are in Leviticus 5.  Leviticus 5 wraps up the Sin Offering and moves into the Guilt Offering.  Let’s have a quick review first.- The Burnt Offering was for general sinfulness, an over all sin state.  It recognized my devotion and surrender to God - take all of me.  Romans 12:1 for us - we offer all of ourselves as living sacrifices.- The Grain Offering was i...  Read More

Good Morning “Unintentional Sinners.”  Today we are in Exodus 4.”The wages of sin, or payment required for sin is death.  Exodus 4 is all about the Sin Offering.  Notice however the sin offering is to be made when a specific unintentional sin is discovered or become conscious.  What does this mean?  How can it be sin if I don’t know I’m doing it?  After all, even if it is not in Gods law, but I be...  Read More

Good Morning “Fellowshippers With The Lord.” Today we are in Leviticus 3.Continuing with process of growing in our faith… If the Burnt Offering represented our giving God all of ourselves and the Grain Offering was a “Thanks for your provision” offering, the Fellowship Offering was a commitment to their fellowship with the Lord and with their Brothers and sisters.  We are united together in Jesus,...  Read More

Good Morning “Thankful Followers.”  Today we are in Leviticus 2.As we read about the Grain Offering it’s easy to begin to get overwhelmed with all of the specific requirements.  That’s part of the point.  Remember all of Scripture from beginning to end is the story of Jesus.  The specific details served even more to push the nation to realize… we cannot possibly keep all of these laws and sacrific...  Read More

Good Morning “Living Sacrifices.”  Today we are in Leviticus 1.  The Burnt Offering and the animals that could be offered were very specific, a bull, a ram, or birds.  In each case you were to dispatch the animal or animals with your hand on it, transferring your sin to the animal.  The death of the animal was something to be observed.  Imagine dispatching the animal with your bare hands and ackno...  Read More

Good Morning “God Followers.”  Today we are in Exodus 40.  With the Tabernacle completed and set up instructions given, the system to bring sacrifices for sin so that the people might worship and fellowship with God is in place.  All of the work was completed exactly as God had instructed.  “Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.”‭‭Exodus‬ ‭40‬...  Read More

Good Morning “Workers Who Work As The Lord Commands.”  Today we are in Exodus 39.  Upon the completion of the Priestly Garments, Scripture declares: “The Israelites had done all the work just as the Lord had commanded Moses. Moses inspected the work and saw that they had done it just as the Lord had commanded. So Moses blessed them.” Exodus‬ ‭39‬:‭42‬-‭43‬ ‭NIV‬‬Is there a lesson in here for us?  ...  Read More

Merry Christmas “Temple of The Living God.”  Unto us a Savior is Born!  Today we are in Exodus 38.  In Exodus 38 we read about the construction of the remaining elements for the Tabernacle.  You’ll recall the Tabernacle will be the place where Gods people will come to make sacrifices for their sin, and worship God.  You may also recall that the sacrificial system only temporarily “covered” their s...  Read More

Merry Christmas Eve “Everything as Unto The Lord.”  Today we are in Exodus 37.The construction continues with the Arc, The Table, The Lampstand, and the Alter of Incense.  I wonder what they were thinking as they labored?  What was their attitude like?  Were they building with a smile on their face and joy in their hearts or were they kicking rocks as they went about.  Literally 2,000 lbs of gold ...  Read More

Good Morning “Generous Giver.”  Today we are in Exodus 36.As we read through the construction of the Tabernacle it can become mechanical and seemingly void of application for us.  Don’t make that mistake.  Try to wrap your mind around just how big a feat this actually was.  They are living in the desert, in tents, without our modern tools.  They can’t simply run to Lowe’s and grab what they need f...  Read More

Good Morning “Blessed With All You Need to Serve.”  Today we are in Exodus 35.  In preparation for the “Get to Work” order Moses starts this chapter with a reminder to observe the Sabbath.  I’m always struck any time I read a passage  about the Sabbath Law.  It sure seems two sided to me.  We’re quick to remember to observe rest on the 7th day, but what does the first part say?  Each time and in e...  Read More

Good Morning “Reflectors of Gods Glory.”  Today we are in Exodus 34.Back up on the mountain with stone tablets Moses goes.  God will reiterate His covenant with the people.  If you study both times on the mountain you will find some changes.  God will now demand the firstborn males of only that tribe of Levi. Since the Levite’s were the only ones to stand with Moses, they will be the only ones fit...  Read More
