Journey Through “The Tabernacle” TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS “JOURNEY” “U” MUST BE SPIRITUALLY PREPARED
Tabernacle With us “LORD” Desire, it is a dainty word! It were much that He should satisfy the need, the want; but He goeth far beyond that. Pity is moved to meet our need; duty may sometimes look after our wants; but to satisfy the desire im- plies a tender watchfulness, a sweet and gracious knowledge of us, an eagerness of blessing. God is never satisfied until He has satisfied our desires.
REMEMBER THIS AND LIVE I WOULD RATHER LIVE MY LIFE AS IF THERE IS A GOD, AND DIE TO FIND OUT THERE ISN’T; THAN LIVE MY LIFE AS IF THERE ISN’T, AND DIE TO FIND OUT THERE IS………

The word of the Lord spread through the whole region” God’s plan was through Israel all the world would know Him (Jesus first Gen. 12:3). Because of their not accepting Christ as the Savior; God commissioned Paul & Barnabas (Jews) to speak the gospel to the Gentiles. His word would not return to Him void!!

Celebrations Continue A slave was “redeemed” when someone paid money to buy his or her freedom. God redeemed us from the tyranny of sin, not with money, but with the precious blood of His own Son. We cannot escape from sin on our own; only the life of God’s Son can free us 1st born male belong to God (Man or Beast) No yeast was to be eaten (represents Sin) Commemorates their leaving Egypt Pass this on to your children Christ is our Passover lamb, the perfect sacrifice for our sin. Be- cause he has delivered us from the slavery of sin; we should have nothing to do with the sins of the past (“old yeast”) Requires that the first crops harvested be offered to God. The Israelites could not eat the food from their harvest until they had made this offering Today God still expects us to set aside His portion first, not last. Giving leftovers to God is no way to express thanks. Firstfruits were the first part of the harvest that faithful Jews brought to the temple as an offer- ing. Although Christ was not the first to rise from the dead, He was the first to never die again A festival praising God for a bountiful har- vest. Celebrate to the Lord your God by giv- ing a freewill offering in proportion to the blessings the Lord your God has given you. Peter’s speech was given to an international audience, and it resulted in a worldwide harvest of new believers—the first converts to Christian- ity. Fulfillment of prophesies from John the Baptist (Luke 3:16) and Joel (Joel 2:28,29) Because Jesus Christ came back to life, so will all believers. All Christians, including those living when Christ returns, will live with Christ forever Paul tells us that we all will be given new bodies when Christ returns and that these bodies will be without disabilities The beginning of the seventh month (Civil New Year (TISHRI)) Expressed joy and thanksgiving to God Their only access to God was through the high priest, who would offer a sacrifice and use the animals blood to atone first for his own sins and then the peoples. Christ promises to return and raise us to eternal life in a world where sin will be banished. The removal of sin from the people and the nation. Restored fellowship with God Jesus’ words show that the the way to eternal life, though un- seen, is secure—as secure as your trust in Jesus. He has already prepared the way to eternal life.
