Grace for Giving (Pekudei) | Finishing the Work as the Lord CommandsShirah Chante hosts the Perfect Body Podcast Torah portion afterthought on Pekudei (Exodus 35–40), marking the completion of Exodus and focusing on the building and erection of the Tabernacle. She highlights that God gives skill and intelligence to people like Bezalel and Oholiab for sanctuary work, and notes how Israel brought so many freewill offerings that Moses had to restrain them from giving more, calling it “grace for giving” and a model for modern church fundraising without greed. She also emphasizes finishing what you start by doing everything the Lord commands, citing repeated verses in Exodus 40 showing Moses’ obedience, which led to “Moses finished the work” and Moses blessing the people. 00:00 Welcome and Mission00:51 Torah Portion Overview01:47 Grace for Giving03:44 When Giving Overflows06:18 Lessons for Modern Churches09:51 Finish What You Started11:39 Moses Obeys Step by Step15:12 Prayer and ClosingSupport the show
