This sermon will examine the actual ceremony that set apart or consecrated the priests as holy to God’s service and the ways in which they were set apart in practice and appearance. This teaching will remind the Fearless Christ followers of Eastview that we have been dedicated to God’s service, consecrated for him alone. As priests, we will be encouraged to be separate and stand out as holy, not i...

6-20-21 | Eastview Online | Intercession | Royals Mike Baker | Exodus 28:29-30; Leviticus 9:7-24 The priests of the Old Testament literally interceded for the people before God.  They led to God with sacrifice and confessions of sins.  They talked to God (prayed) on behalf of the people, and they represented the presence of the people once a year before God.  Without the priest, you could not aton...

6-6-2021 | Clothed | Royals Mike Baker | Exodus 28, Leviticus 8:1-13 In these two passages we get detailed descriptions of what the priests wear in service before God in the tabernacle. By examining this sacred dress code, we learn how we are to be spiritually clothed in Jesus. We will begin with “having put on Christ” (Galatians 3:27 and Romans 13:14). This will lead to other things priests in Je...

5-02-21 | Mike Baker Table of Shewbread| Vintage Blueprint Exodus 25:23-30 As we enter into the front room of the tabernacle proper (the Holy Place), we come to the table of shewbread on the right side just inside the entrance. On this table the priests were to place 12 fresh loaves of bread daily as a representation of the people of God (12 tribes). There are many allusions here to Jesus. He is t...

4-25-21 | Mike Baker Bronze Basin | Vintage Blueprint Exodus 30:17-21 The next step before entering the tent required intense ceremonial cleansing for the priests who were to serve in the tabernacle. Great pains were taken to make sure there was absolutely no filth, stain, or impurity of any kind. The priests were to be clean before God. Again, we will point to the cleansing of our sins through th...

3-28-2021 | Mike Baker Passover #5: Delivered Exodus 12:33-42 This passage gives the details for how the people of God actually left Egypt after 430 years of being slaves. In this message we will teach their freedom from actual slavery as a picture of the slavery to sin we have been freed from through Jesus Christ. As God had promised Moses delivery for his people, God also promised a deliverer fo...

3-21-2021 | Mike Baker Passover #4: A Memorial Meal Exodus 12:14-27 God wanted his people to remember this occasion of deliverance throughout generations to come.

Both Bezalel and Oholiab were intelligent and had knowledge and craftsmanship to do the work, but the power and effectiveness for their calling can be found in God’s words, “I have filled hi...

2-28-2021 | Mike Baker Passover #1: The Sacrificial Lamb Exodus 12:1-6 The first step in celebrating the original Passover was procuring the proper sacrifice for the memorial meal. Each family was to select a lamb that was without blemish and set it aside until the proper time. This is, of course, the picture of Jesus as “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). Jesus too,...
