S7 Episode 5: To Dwell in Our Midst - Week 4 (The Lampstand)

Why study this ancient tent? What does knowing the Tabernacle have to do with our faith on this side of the cross? Everything. From Creation, God's desire was to dwell in the midst of His people. In the middle of the wilderness, God gives Moses a way for God Himself to dwell in the midst of His people: the Tabernacle. This tent is not merely ritual or history or good information. It's essential to understanding our salvation. Our detailed and deliberate God gave us the Tabernacle because one day, He would give us Jesus.In this teaching, Erin Warren talks about the third furnishing in the Tabernacle: The Lampstand. Like the other furnishings, it has practical purpose: it lights up the inside of the Holy Place, but it represents so much more. Because of the sacrifice and because they had been made clean, they are permitted to enter the Holy Place. It is an invitation into fellowship with our God. But now, because of the Light of Jesus, we are royal priesthood, children of the light. We no longer walk in darkness because Jesus is the Light of the World.Key Scriptures:Exodus 25:31-40Exodus 37:17-24Isaiah 11:1-5, 10John 15:1-11Exodus 27:20-21Leviticus 24:1-4John 16:13-15John 1:1-14John 8:12For more information on this study: ⁠FeastingOnTruth.com/DwellFor recommended resources: ⁠FeastingOnTruth.com/Resources⁠For more information on studying Scripture: ⁠FeastingOnTruth.com/HowTo⁠Erin's books and other studies: ⁠FeastingOnTruth.com/Books⁠For speaking inquiries: ⁠FeastingOnTruth.com/Speaking
