GOD AMONG US

Exodus 25-27, 35-40

By Pastor Chad A. Miller, May 02, 2021

REFLECTION VERSE: Psalm 90:1-2

SUMMARY: We often think of the 10 Commandments as the most significant thing that God spoke to Moses, but MOST of the interaction was about worship and God dwelling among the people. If we’re not careful, we can get caught up on the details…and miss His presence. The Tabernacle’s funding, furniture, and features all point us to Christ!
