Sabbath and Construction

Exodus 35:1-19Sabbath and Construction If you’ll open your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Exodus chapter 35. We are moving into the very last section of the book of Exodus and Moses’ record of the building of the tabernacle. And the very fact that the culminating chapters of this book of epic adventures climaxes on the story of the construction of a tent tells you something very important. Let me just say that again, take that in: all the adventure stories of the miracles in Egypt, crossing the Red Sea, the adventures in the wilderness and the miracles displayed there, and the visible and verbal manifestation of God at Mount Sinai climaxes with the story of the building of a tent in Exodus 35-39.

One of the things that comes through loud and clear here is…

This Lord's Day and next, on Sunday mornings we're going to take a break from our study of the Pastoral Epistles and from II Timothy to look at two passages that have been very important in the thinking and the praying of the Capital Campaign Committee. They have given to us, as a part of the text from which they've drawn the theme of the campaign, Ephesians 2, and we’ll be looking at that passage next Sunday morning, and also another passage that you've seen [quoted from] in the literature. It's this passage from Exodus 35 and 36, and so I want to look at it…
