Exodus 35: Freewill Offerings to Build the Tabernacle

The Rev. Dr. Curtis Deterding, pastor of Zion Lutheran Church in Fort Myers, FL, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Exodus 35. After a brief emphasis on the importance of the Sabbath, God calls upon those with generous hearts to gather materials for the construction of the Tabernacle. The time to construct this special place of worship was near. They were to provide gold, silver, bronze, and various types of cloth and yarns, as well as wood and animal skins for the Tabernacle and its furnishings. Every household had an opportunity to take part in collecting what was needed to build the place where God would dwell among them. It’s the true story of God reaching down into history and, through an unlikely prophet, redeeming his chosen people from slavery. It’s the story of Exodus, but it’s also the story of us all. How through Christ, God has liberated us from sin, death, and the Devil. Don’t miss this chapter-by-chapter study of the Book of Exodus on Thy Strong Word.
