- 0:12Hello, friends. It's shown here.
- 0:15Welcome to a lovely new week. I hope you are doing well as we
- 0:22enter the next season. The next month, the next phase
- 0:26of this year and as well as all of that we are entering the next
- 0:30phase of the book of Exodus together because that's what we
- 0:34do, isn't it friendly? We read a chapter of God's word
- 0:38and we are entering a part of the book of Exodus that people
- 0:42often go are. Here we go.
- 0:43This is boring as anything man, but it is so cool because we are
- 0:49entering the point where God is telling people about the
- 0:53Tabernacle here, you have the god of the universe who somehow
- 0:58needs to reside. He's people and so he provides
- 1:03for them, these elaborate plans and just to be clear, God
- 1:06doesn't actually need to have the Tabernacle built to exactly
- 1:10these specifications in order for him to be unable to
- 1:13inhabited. But God wants his people to have
- 1:17a very specific design so that they understand that God is a
- 1:22perfect God who has these incredible standards and wants
- 1:26to come and be with them. And so, So, the creation of the
- 1:31Tabernacle is God, letting his people know how they can create
- 1:35a space where God can be present with them with these human
- 1:41beings in their little society. That is forming.
- 1:44So it is very interesting, it is very cool and God is going to
- 1:48start unwrapping, what it looks like to have a space where an
- 1:52infinite God can make himself finite and dwell with his people
