Lev 19-21 “The Sacred vs the Profane” One thing we must remember as we study this marvelous book of “you must not and you must” is that these are the very words of God. They were written that we might be instructed in not what we think is right but what God thinks is right. […]
Lev 5 “It is all about holiness before a holy God.” One phrase is repeated in this chapter about sin: “even if he did not realize it…” This is not talking about intentional rebellion, but those sins that we unintentionally commit and then realize. When sin brings guilt we have a choice: we can ignore […]
Leviticus 1 to 4 Genesis and Exodus are books of the historical record of the Israelites and the three pictures of His presence: The hovering cloud by day The pillar of fire by night The Tabernacle’s placement in the middle of the camp Now in Leviticus, we find God calling the people and how to […]
Exodus 39-40 Over and over, we read the words: As the Lord commanded. Moses’s obedience to the words of the Lord is significant. In the NT, we read, “if you love me, you will obey my commandments.” [Jn 14:15] Do we realize that just as the Israelites were in bondage to Egypt; we were in […]

He gifted Bezalel with four gifts: in skill, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship. However, the Spirit did not leave Bezalel to do this work alone. He also gifted Oholiab from the […]
Exodus 28 and 29 The Priesthood of the Believer When you go to God in prayer do you see yourself as a holy, sanctified priest? We are to “put on the breastplate of faith and love and as a helmet our hope for salvation.” [1Thess 5:8] Aaron was to be clothed in garments including the […]
Exodus 25-27 Beautiful to Behold Today, you can turn on the TV and watch a home’s renovations, all with glitz and glamour. God didn’t want to renovate but build His dwelling place from the ground up with all of the beauty, gold, silver, and precious ornaments. As the master architect, God gave Moses the plans […]
Exodus 22 to 24 God has set down the laws for a perfect society, and He starts with laws that men are to keep and the consequences for breaking those laws. The people had just said they would obey all that God has said, but that will be short-lived, and so this is why God […]
