Their impatience leads to compromise! Pastor Ed Taylor will relate this to our lives. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29?v=20251111

Last time on Abounding Grace we learned about the ordination of the Priests, in Exodus chapter 29. They were to be separated and washed. There was the anointing of oil, animal sacrifices and an anointing with the blood. These sacrifices all pointed to the coming Messiah. What in the world does this have to do with me, you ask? More than you may realize. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29?v=20251111
