A Dress Rehearsal (2025-09-21, Greg Lanier, Exodus 27)

What this episode covers

A sermon on the altar, courtyard, and lamp by Dr. Greg Lanier. Application questions: Discuss the location of the altar. How does it remind us of our sin before a holy God? When you’re facing friction with someone, how can the visual symbolism of the altar help you deal with your own heart? Discuss the role of the altar. In what way is it a ‘dress rehearsal’ for the work of Christ? Read Romans 12:1—what does it mean for you to be a ‘living sacrifice’? How does the church function as the new ‘courtyard’? Discuss the different ways you feel called to serve as the new covenant ‘tabernacle setup crew.’ Why does it matter that everyone use their gifts, not just the pastors? Re-read Revelation 1:13 and 20. How does the tabernacle’s lampstand point forward to Christ? To us? Reflect on worshiping at River Oaks. How does our Sunday service (and other activities) function as a ‘dress rehearsal’ for eternal worship and rest? Find out more at www.riveroakschurch.com
