(Genesis 4:1-17)

Here, we learn Adam knew Eve, which is the Bible's way of saying they knew one another in the act of sex . As an aside, this should be instructive concerning sex. To God, sex isn't the mere collision of bodies who are out for a good time. Instead, though it should be clear because of the design of our sexual organs, God designed sex to be intensely pleasurable, but he always thought of it as a major expression of an intimate relationship. A married couple is to know one another. (10 Minutes/2500 Words)

In a solemn moment, the Lord tells Moses that the congregation is meant to gather at the entrance of the tabernacle to watch Aaron and his sons become consecrated. The first generation of priests for Israel are to be consecrated for the work of the Lord.

August 25, 2021 Nate Holdridge

If you've followed along with us in our study of the Book of Exodus, you saw Moses receive on the mountaintop, the command of God and the instructions from God specifically on how to build the Tabernacle and also the instructions on the priesthood itself that would serve inside of the Tabernacle along with the instruments that would populate the Tabernacle. But now in Leviticus, we learn specifically how the instruments, how the priests, and how the Tabernacle would be used in order for the people of Israel to approach God.

Exodus 29

May 26, 2021 Nate Holdridge

Here in the second half of the book of Exodus, we're listening in on God giving directions to Moses on the construction of the tabernacle, which they have yet to build. God is going to describe the consecration of all the priests in general, but of the high priest in particular.

Exodus 24-25

April 28, 2021 Nate Holdridge

God just longs to be at the center of our lives. This is one of the major lessons that we will continue to learn through the back half of the book of Exodus, seeing the directions concerning the tabernacle. He longs to fellowship with his people. He wants to be at the center of our lives. He wants to be in a relationship with us.
