The candlestick, made of one solid piece of pure gold, sits on the southside of the holy place to give light to the table and the altar of incense. The light from the candlestick is to never go out. In the Bible this candlestick clearly represents the Holy Ghost. The Spirit illuminates our time with the Lord through prayer and the scriptures. He gives light, life, and fruit that will glorify God.

It is the will of God for our lives that we be not conformed to this world. This world is not our home. We are strangers and pilgrims awaiting for the day we return home. Until that time comes, we need to be faithful ambassadors of our loving Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Moving from the brazen altar to the brazen altar, now we enter into the holy place. Devotionally, once we are covered by the blood of our substitute sacrifice and our hands and feet are washed by the water of the word, now we can enter into the holy place. The table of shewbread is an incredible illustration of Jesus Christ, the Bread of Life, and the Word of God. Listen in to hear more!

Another will of God for your life is to obey the God-ordained authorities. This is very important to understand because if you cannot properly obey earthly authorities there is no way you will be able to obey the Lord God. How do we do this God's way? Take a listen...

After the brazen altar is the brazen laver. When one is covered by the blood of their personal sacrifice (being born again through the gospel of Jesus Christ), the brazen laver (the word of God) needs to be used to wash their hands and feet in their service to God. We cannot be in service to the Lord with unwashed hands and feet.

Thankfulness is absolutely critical in our walk with the Lord. The moment we become unthankful we immediately stop walking with God. We have exalted self over our Creator and cannot give him the glory in our lives through our words and actions. More than anyone else, born again believers should be the most thankful people on the earth!

After being introduced to the general concept of the Tabernacle, we take a look at the first part - The Brazen Altar. This is the first place any Jew would start to interact with the presence of God. It is extremely important to understand this first before anything else.

God calls his people to be sanctified... set apart from this world unto God and His plans & purposes. We need to understand this Biblical truth now more than ever!

The tabernacle holds a key to understanding deeper spiritual truths for born again believers. We are the temple of the living God (2 Cor. 6:16) and we have this treasure of the Holy Spirit of God in an earthly vessel/tabernacle (2 Cor. 4:7; 2 Pt. 1:13-15). If we are to honor the Lord properly in our lives we must learn how to properly order and furnish our tabernacle/temple for the Lord.

There are 7 different "will of God" truths in the New Testament, and the 1st sets the foundation for all of them... to be repentant. This is critical for salvation and for daily faithfulness. Someone who is not repentant immediately prevents God from working in and through them, and the Lord is not glorified.

In the New Testament there are 7 specific things that are stated as God's will for your life. If we are willing to know these things and do them we will be fruitful and focused in the life God has given us. This series is very important!

This is a continuation from last week... The field and our perspective on the field(s) God has given us matters greatly! We are called to be faithful stewards (1 Cor. 4:1) and to bear much fruit (Jn. 15:8).

In the spiritual battle that we are in each day, it is very important that we know our enemy. He knows us! We should know him... his methods, tactics, and strategies. God reveals them to us in various ways throughout the scriptures.

As a disciple-making church and youth ministry, we often talk about the field... but sometimes we need to really understand what God means when he says "the field" or "the fields." We need to have the proper perspective so we can stay diligently fruitful to what the Lord has called us to do individually and corporately.

As a boost as everyone is heading back to school, we need to revisit a few things related to our summer camp series. This first message deals with the Battle for Your Heart. When God has your heart he will have everything else. Looking at Israel when God led them out of Egypt into the wilderness, the Lord provided everything they needed for their exodus, survival, and fruitfulness. God did this to win their heart over so they would whole-heartedly trust and love him! It is the same for us today... God has provided EVERYTHING for us to succeed!
