The Tabernacle

CS Lewis wrote, “If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.” But how do we get there?

Jesus is Life - our hope is not in an event (the resurrection) but in a person, Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is the central figure in all of human history, and He is the very essence of Christianity. Without Jesus crucified, resurrected, ascended into heaven, and returning someday, there simply is no Christianity.

Protection, peace, and security; these three things are something we all seek. Many of us spend the majority of our lives seeking them in one way or another. Jesus is our only way to protection, peace, and security.

Sin has made the world a dark and confusing place. But God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. The invitation of Jesus is for us to walk in the light and not in darkness, and to reflect the light of Christ to others.

I Am… The Bread of Life. Jesus flips the script once again by challenging the crowds to look outside their needs and fixation on temporary satisfaction, and to fix their hearts and minds on an eternal satisfaction that is found only in Him.

Skeptics argue that Jesus never claimed to be God. But the Gospel of John confirms that Jesus claimed to be the same “I Am” who first revealed His eternal name to Moses at the burning bush.

When we become lax in our beliefs and behavior, our lives and church can quickly drift towards chaos. A reminder of the basics of faithful Christian living can help us prevent that from happening.

The Tabernacle is a group of imperfect people desiring to be changed by the love & grace of a perfect God. We gather on Sundays to worship Jesus, then scatter to our communities as missionaries throughout the week.

Some people believe that when we die our bodies and souls cease to exist. Others believe that just the soul somehow mystically lives on. But the Gospel teaches that both body and soul are resurrected because of Jesus.

We do not gradate from the gospel. Through the gospel we enter the kingdom of God, our lives are changed, and we proclaim the power of the grace of God to the world around us.

The world apart from Christ is marked by chaos, confusion and unrest. But the promise of the Gospel is a regenerated heart, which enables a supernatural peace and order into our lives.

What we pursue in church gets sideways when we elevate personal or dramatic experience over the common good. The Bible calls us back to the real power and presence of God.

The issue of spiritual gifts has caused much confusion, controversy and abuse. But when we understand the purpose and nature of these gifts, the cloudy becomes clear.

The trap of complacency leads to selfishness, division, exclusion, and indifferent attitudes towards others in church. All are dishonoring to Jesus, the Gospel, and the body of Christ.

This bit of Paul’s letter to the Church in Corinth gives us an opportunity to clarify a beautiful word that is used within Christian gatherings probably more than any where else in the world: Glory.
