Tabernacle (12 of 12)
Series: Exodus - A Future and a Hope

Exodus 25-31, 35-40
Alright-we started our study in the book of Exodus the first Sunday of this year, and we are finishing it…today. That's pretty exciting, right? (Some people are going, ''Finally!'') So God had rescued his people from a miserable existence in Egypt; he had brought them out of slavery, and they were headed toward their new land.

Now: brutal honesty…How many of you feel spiritually uplifted when you open up a Bible and read about ''goat hair and ram skins…and the hides of sea cows''? Anybody? That just really moves you-maybe you post it to your Facebook page? Nobody, right? So what do we do? We skip those parts of the Bible, right? We quickly move on to the good stuff! The problem is, when we skip it, we miss something incredible. We miss something life-changing! In fact, at the end of this message, I'm going to talk ab ...
