Exodus 25-31 describes the preparation of the people to have the presence of God dwell among them.  The construction of the tabernacle, the consecration of the priesthood, and the calling of choice servants for the work are all essential parts of these chapters. And each one of them is meant to point our eyes to Jesus.

Exodus 24 shows us that God desires to be near His people. Through Christ, He has provided a greater mediator, a greater sacrifice, and a greater invitation to be with Him. 

The Ten Commandments are often misunderstood to be rules to earn God's favor or salvation. But the Ten Commandments were given, in part, to show the people that salvation would not come through their obedience to the law but through the One who kept the law on their behalf.

After leaving Egypt and crossing the Red Sea, the people of Israel faced numerous challenges on their way to Sinai. In our passage today, we see how the Lord showed himself faithful to be the perfect provider, protector, and preserver of his people in the wilderness. 

The book of Acts is the continuation of Luke's gospel account and reveals how the Holy Spirit empowered the church to be witnesses for the resurrected Christ.  This week we hear from guest preacher, Dr. Tony Wolfe, who serves as the Executive Director - Treasurer of the South Carolina Baptist Convention.
