In the Old Testament the Israelites were called to follow the Pillar of Cloud by day and the Pillar of Fire by night. They were on a journey. They were called to follow. In the New Testament Jesus said, “I am the Way”! The book of Acts records that those who were part of the early church were called “followers of the Way”. We feel that God that has spoken to us and He’s calling us to follow Him as we are moving again into a whole new phase of church life. The Lord is calling us to move on.

The golden calf may seem ancient, but Exodus 32 is not merely about Israel’s idol; it’s about ours. It is about what we reach for when God feels delayed, what we trust when fear rises, what we use to supplement God when obedience feels too slow. But the Lord loves us too much to let us drink poison and call it living water. Come to Jesus. He does not merely expose our idols; He rescues us from them. He does not merely condemn our false worship; He gives us a new heart.

So often we run on red that exhaustion feels normal. Anxiety, hurry, and pressure feel normal. But Jesus invites us into another way. Not a lazy or unproductive life, but a fruitful one. A life that works from rest instead of working for rest.

The Tabernacle in Exodus summarizes everything God has been doing from day one: He is breaking the distance. The God of the universe is moving into the center of the camp to make His residence among His redeemed people. In this message, Kurt looks at the elements inside the Tabernacle.

The movements that were necessary for a Holy God to dwell among a sinful people.

Dismantling the lies our culture has bought into regarding the Ten Commandments.

What our expectations should be as we go through times of being in the wilderness.

We are often terrified, just like the Israelites on the bank of the Red Sea. We look at the giant obstacles in front of us and the enemy pursuing us from behind, and instead of trusting the Defender, we start holding on. But there is infinitely more for us on the other side of the threshold; we just have to be brave, trust the Defender, step into the water, and move forward into the impossible life of the promise.

In Exodus, there was not a single household in Egypt where someone or something was not dead. Your sins will be paid for. There are only two legal options on the table of eternity: either you will personally pay for your rebellion by dying eternally, or you will trust that Jesus, the Lamb of God, paid it completely in your place. Have you called upon His name in total surrender, asking Him to apply His blood to the doorposts of your heart?
