Exodus 27:1-8 - Where There's Smoke

Featured Teacher: Pastor Daniel Christensen In this message from Exodus 27:1–8, we explore the bronze altar—the first structure encountered in the tabernacle courtyard and the theological gateway to God's presence. Through blood, fire, and sacrifice, God teaches that sin must be atoned for before fellowship can begin. The altar’s design, materials, and portability point forward to Jesus Christ, our final priest, sacrifice, and altar. We see that true worship begins with substitution and culminates in surrender. The only path to God is through the cross, where judgment meets mercy and sinners are welcomed into grace. Where there’s smoke, there’s atonement—and hope.
