Latest / Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris / 09 26 2025 The Sanctuary, God’s Dwelling and Our Redemption
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
- 0:03Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
- 0:07Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
- 0:11Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to
- 0:15Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
- 0:19Speaker 1: going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words
- 0:22Speaker 1: today and receive the power we need to live healthy.
- 0:26Speaker 2: Vibrant lives.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker
- 0:32Speaker 1: Elle David Harris.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning.
- 0:34Speaker 3: It is Friday, September twenty six, twenty twenty five. Hello,
- 0:40Speaker 3: my name is El David Harris. I am your host,
- 0:42Speaker 3: and this is your Daily Portion where we give you
- 0:45Speaker 3: God's word every single day.
- 0:47Speaker 2: And today is no exception.
- 0:49Speaker 3: We are completing our lesson study series through the Book
- 0:53Speaker 3: of Exodus, and our caption for today is the Sanctuary
- 0:58Speaker 3: God's dwelling and our Redemption. The Sanctuary God's dwelling and
- 1:04Speaker 3: our Redemption. Before we get into that, I'd like to
- 1:07Speaker 3: say welcome to you and ask you to go over
- 1:09Speaker 3: to your Daily Portion dot com. Please join our online community,
- 1:13Speaker 3: pick up the new Your Daily Portion Life application guide,
- 1:17Speaker 3: and let us know where you are in the world
- 1:20Speaker 3: at your Daily Portion dot com. This is one of
- 1:23Speaker 3: the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.
- 1:27Speaker 3: Let's pray, Father, thank you for the time that you've
- 1:30Speaker 3: invested in us all of our lives, but especially for
- 1:34Speaker 3: these last thirteen weeks where we got to see the pathway,
- 1:39Speaker 3: the journey from being in bondage into freedom. And thank
- 1:43Speaker 3: you Father for dwelling among us the entire time. Please
- 1:47Speaker 3: teach us to live for you. Now in Jesus' name,
- 1:50Speaker 3: I pray Amen and Amen again. Yeah, so I'm thankful
- 1:57Speaker 3: that our lesson study doesn't take a plastic turn after today.
- 2:02Speaker 3: This is one of the times I don't remember, actually,
- 2:05Speaker 3: in the last couple of decades, I don't remember where
- 2:07Speaker 3: the church has given us sort of a continuation study.
- 2:11Speaker 3: There may have been, but I just don't recall that.
- 2:14Speaker 3: Maybe with Ezra and Nehemiah, I don't recall. But in
- 2:17Speaker 3: this case, I love that we are going to the
- 2:20Speaker 3: story of Joshua and God's people at the point from
- 2:25Speaker 3: the point that they enter now the second generation of
- 2:28Speaker 3: God's people who were freed from Egyptian captivity, and Joshua
- 2:33Speaker 3: and Caleb go into the promise from that point forward.
- 2:37Speaker 3: So I'm looking forward to that day beginning tomorrow if
- 2:41Speaker 3: the Lord spaars life. But for today, as we wrap
- 2:44Speaker 3: up this lesson, we go to the Book of Exodus,
- 2:47Speaker 3: chapter six and verse seven, where the Bible reads, and
- 2:50Speaker 3: I will take you to me for a people, and
- 2:54Speaker 3: I will be to you for God, and ye shall
- 2:58Speaker 3: know that I am the law Lord, your God, which
- 3:01Speaker 3: bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptian
- 3:05Speaker 3: I need you to remember at all times. Really, it's
- 3:08Speaker 3: not me. God wants you to remember at all times
- 3:11Speaker 3: that the reason He delivered you, the reason why He
- 3:15Speaker 3: has taken it upon himself to deliver you from all
- 3:18Speaker 3: that binds you, that from all that oppresses you, is
- 3:22Speaker 3: because He wants a relationship with you. And when people
- 3:26Speaker 3: are oppressed, when people are bound to their sin, sickness,
- 3:31Speaker 3: and disease, when people are bound to our evil habits
- 3:35Speaker 3: and the desire to do things contrary to God's will,
- 3:39Speaker 3: then that is an impediment. It's in the way of
- 3:41Speaker 3: good relationship with him. And therefore, when he builds this
- 3:46Speaker 3: plan of salvation and shows us how some of it
- 3:49Speaker 3: works through the Sanctuary service, the tabernacling reality. It is
- 3:55Speaker 3: because He wants us to see that He has pulled
- 3:58Speaker 3: out all the stops. He has left no stone unturned,
- 4:03Speaker 3: so that He could have us in relationship with him forever.
- 4:07Speaker 3: So redemption precedes worship and access to God. He had
- 4:13Speaker 3: to deliver us from some things so that we could
- 4:15Speaker 3: learn to worship, so we could be free enough to worship.
- 4:19Speaker 3: Being bound to the enemy makes it impossible for us
- 4:22Speaker 3: to worship the one true and Living God, Blessed be
- 4:25Speaker 3: his name. So I'm grateful. I'm grateful. God redeemed his
- 4:29Speaker 3: people before he invited them into covenant fellowship, before he
- 4:34Speaker 3: gave them the Ten Commandments law written by his own
- 4:38Speaker 3: finger on those tables of sapphire stone. He redeemed them first.
- 4:44Speaker 3: He delivered them first. Ah, And redemption is always the
- 4:48Speaker 3: foundation for true worship.
- 4:50Speaker 2: For people who attempt to worship God without first surrendering
- 4:54Speaker 2: our will to God, it becomes a mockery, it becomes
- 4:57Speaker 2: a joke, and God ain't playing game with us. And
- 5:01Speaker 2: so the action for today in this regard is to
- 5:04Speaker 2: approach God in worship and with gratitude for his saving
- 5:09Speaker 2: work in your life, saving you first, redeeming you first,
- 5:14Speaker 2: delivering you first, and then showing you your responsibility. I'm
- 5:19Speaker 2: thankful that God is an orderly god, yes, and I
- 5:22Speaker 2: hope you are too. So we go into Deuteronomy, chapter
- 5:26Speaker 2: twenty six and verse seventeen. Now, and the Bible reads
- 5:29Speaker 2: in Deuteronomy chapter twenty six and verse seventeen. Today, today
- 5:34Speaker 2: you have declared the Lord to be your God. So
- 5:38Speaker 2: the people are agreeing. Today you've declared the Lord to
- 5:42Speaker 2: be your God, and that you will walk in his
- 5:45Speaker 2: ways and keep his statutes and commandments and ordinances and
- 5:51Speaker 2: obey him. Today you've done that, So let that be
- 5:56Speaker 2: your reality. God said, it's better to not make a vow,
- 6:00Speaker 2: to make a vow and then break it. God has
- 6:03Speaker 2: given us every opportunity to come into relationship with him,
- 6:07Speaker 2: and that means He will empower us with the peace
- 6:10Speaker 2: that we need, the rest that we need, the energy
- 6:14Speaker 2: that we need in order to do His will. When
- 6:17Speaker 2: it goes against our human nature. He can give us
- 6:21Speaker 2: what we need so so that today we can be
- 6:25Speaker 2: new born citizens of the Kingdom of God throughout the
- 6:30Speaker 2: ceaseless ages of eternity. So review the Ten Commandments. I
- 6:34Speaker 2: know what I just said. Review the Ten Commandments regularly
- 6:39Speaker 2: I'm talking about the ones in Exodus twenty Deuteronomy chapter
- 6:42Speaker 2: was it five or fifteen? I don't know. My brain
- 6:44Speaker 2: is fried at this moment.
- 6:46Speaker 3: Yes, go to those ten commandments regularly and allow them
- 6:51Speaker 3: to shape how you treat God and others, how you
- 6:57Speaker 3: treat God and others. The script for that is writing
- 7:02Speaker 3: your Bible. Yes, okay. And then for our third and
- 7:07Speaker 3: final lesson for today is from Hebrews chapter nine, beginning
- 7:12Speaker 3: at verse eleven. Hebrews chapter nine beginning at verse eleven,
- 7:18Speaker 3: and the Bible reads, but Christ being come a high
- 7:21Speaker 3: priest of good things to come by a greater and
- 7:25Speaker 3: more perfect tabernacle. You see, it was never about the
- 7:29Speaker 3: Old Testament sacrifice, sacrificial system. It was never about that
- 7:34Speaker 3: tabernacle that they would they would, they would take up
- 7:38Speaker 3: and move as God moved them throughout the wilderness. It
- 7:41Speaker 3: was never about those sacrifices. It was never about Leviticus
- 7:46Speaker 3: chapters one through seven and all of those details. It
- 7:49Speaker 3: was never about those things. It was that those things
- 7:53Speaker 3: really guided us to understand God better, guided us to
- 7:58Speaker 3: through a kindergarten sort of view, so that we could
- 8:02Speaker 3: pace ourselves into the kind of relationship that God approves
- 8:06Speaker 3: we had a lot to overcome, So God gave us
- 8:09Speaker 3: the kind of training that we need. It's a greater
- 8:12Speaker 3: and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands. That is
- 8:16Speaker 3: to say, not of this building, neither by the blood
- 8:21Speaker 3: of goats. I just said that, neither by the blood
- 8:24Speaker 3: of calves. I just said that, but by his own blood.
- 8:27Speaker 3: How many people are grateful today for the blood of
- 8:30Speaker 3: Jesus Christ, which taketh away all of our sins? Are
- 8:34Speaker 3: you grateful that Jesus died once for all so that
- 8:38Speaker 3: we can be holy people, no longer bound to our
- 8:41Speaker 3: sinful treasures and behaviors and lifestyles. That God has given
- 8:47Speaker 3: us that great heart transplant, where He has taken from
- 8:51Speaker 3: us the heart of stone, and he has placed in
- 8:54Speaker 3: us the heart of flesh. Are you grateful by his
- 8:57Speaker 3: own blood? The Bible says he entered into He entered
- 9:01Speaker 3: once into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
- 9:06Speaker 3: No need for God through Christ to do all of
- 9:09Speaker 3: this stuff over and over again. No the daily and
- 9:12Speaker 3: yearly sacrifices or services pointed to Jesus's ultimate ministry, his death,
- 9:19Speaker 3: his priestly work, and the final cleansing of God's people
- 9:23Speaker 3: and the universe from sin. He does that once for all,
- 9:28Speaker 3: and I'm grateful, and so I want you to study
- 9:31Speaker 3: the Sanctuary services to understand more deeply how Christ is
- 9:35Speaker 3: working for your salvation. Even today. I'm looking forward to
- 9:40Speaker 3: the day that we see Jesus face to face. Until then,
- 9:44Speaker 3: we still serve him. Thanks for joining us listening.
- 9:46Speaker 1: Friends, Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but
- 9:50Speaker 1: by every word that comes from the mouth of God.
- 9:53Speaker 1: This has been your daily portion with El David Harris.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Make it a great day. Yeah,
