Embracing Our Role

Ordinary People

God has a for ordinary people


Exodus 35:30-36:1 – 30  Then Moses said to the people of Israel, “See, the LORD has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;  31  and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, with intelligence, with knowledge, and with all craftsmanship,  32  to devise artistic designs, to work in gold and silver and bronze,  33  in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, for work in every skilled craft.  34  And he has inspired him to teach, both him and Oholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan.  35  He has filled them with skill to do every sort of work done by an engraver or by a designer or by an embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, or by a weaver—by any sort of workman or skilled designer. 36 “Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whom the LORD has put skill and intelligence to know how to do any work in the construction of the sanctuary shall work in accordance with all that the LORD has commanded.”


Hebrews 8:5 – They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things. For when Moses was about to erect the tent, he was instructed by God, saying, “See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain.”

There is nothing about being ordinary


Called Exodus 35:30 “See, the Lord has called by name Bezalel”

Filled Exodus 35:31 he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, with intelligence, with knowledge, and with all craftsmanship,

Inspired Exodus 35:34 “He has inspired him to teach, both him and Oholiab”


We need to our role


Exodus 37:1 – Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood
