The Tabernacle

Conrad Hilario

Exodus 25:1-8

The Tabernacle was a scale model of the heavenly reality.

The God Who Dwells with His People

James Rochford

Exodus 25:1-28:43

The tabernacle from the Israelite's desert wandering was a picture of how God resolves the dilemma of how a perfect divine being, God, can dwell among morally flawed people, us. He sent Jesus to live with us as the perfect, sinless priest who offered Himself up as the perfect sacrifice.

Judas and Peter: Remorse vs. Repentance

Ryan Lowery

John 21:15-17

Near the end of Jesus' time on earth, we see 2 disciples--Peter and Judas--experience major failure denying Jesus and betraying him. While their failure was similar, each responded differently. Judas responded with regret, leading to him trying to fix his mistake and ultimately the guilt leading him to suicide. Instead, Peter repented, agreeing that he was wrong, and looking to Jesus to restore him and strengthen him to live in victory. We should also be careful to respond to failure in repentance and allow God to restore us, rather than just feeling regret and defeat.

Jesus and the Samaritan Woman

Ben Foust

John 4:1-42

Jesus' interaction with the Samaritan woman at the well demonstrates we we designed to live in relationship with God and when we are not in right relationship with Him, we experience thirst. Only a relationship with God our Creator can quench that thirst. Jesus is offering to reconnect us to God if we ask for that living water.
