See from this passage that God does not just call those that are already capable, but he gifts those who He calls. Skilled work needed to be done constructing the Tabernacle and its furniture, God chose and then gifted with skill, wisdom and ability those He chose. Too often we limit God by thinking only those who have certain talents to do the work. Instead we should be aware if God is doing some...

FBCWest 270 | | Consecration and Ordination of the Priests and the Alter After instructing Moses on how construct the Tabernacle, its furniture and the clothing of the Priests, God instructs Moses how the priests, Tabernacle, furniture, and clothing are to be consecrated. Following God’s instructions, they are to offer sacrifices and place blood upon them. These instructions on sacrifices inform u...

God’s continued instruction to Moses on the preparation of the Tabernacle informs us that the access to a holy God is limited and restricted. The Tabernacle was patterned after the heavenly dwelling of God. The construction and lay out of the Tabernacle tells us He is separated from us because of His holiness and our sin and uncleanliness. The clothing of the High Priest further lets us know that...

Many people think that God only calls pastors, missionaries, and evangelists, but in reality, God first calls us to be His people. We are called to be saints: believers. Then He calls us to the ministry of reconciliation. We are a new creation that has become ambassadors for Him to communicate this word of reconciliation to the world. In God’s calling of us, He does not just chose the best and bri...

FBCWest 266 | The Light that Shines by First Baptist Church of Westminster, California

After God has delivered to the people His commands and ordinances, the people of God commit to obey. Moses writes down all the commands and ordinances and again the people commit to obeying all that has been ordained. As a part of the commitment sacrifices are made and the blood is placed on the alter and the people, not only recognizing the covenant between God and His people, the offering of blo...

God not only sets out what we call the Ten Commandments, He also sets forth ordinances for the way His people are to treat each other, justice, and equity. God tells His people if they will obey Him and the voice of the angel, then God would be an enemy of those who are His people enemies and will defeat those who occupy the land that God is giving His people. But one thing we should notice in thi...

FBCWest 263 | Truth and Desire by First Baptist Church of Westminster, California

Commandments Six, Seven, and Eight of the Ten Commandments basically deal with not taking from others, whether it be their life, their relationship with their spouse, or their property. Jesus makes avoiding violating these commands even more difficult. Speaking derogatorily against a brother, in essence demeaning his character, can constitute murder and lusting in your heart will constitute commit...

The fifth Command is the second command that instruct us to do something, not just not do something. We are to “honor” our parents. That means we are to highly respect and esteem them. The command is not to honor only parents that are good, but our parents. Our parents are God’s representative to teach and provide for us. Unfortunately, not all parents are good one, but not having a good or great...

As a part of the Ten Commandments, the third Commandment instructs us not to take the Lord’s name in vain or misuse it. Most people think that means not to say a certain curse word. However, God is not His name, it is what He is. The English word we use is LORD. That does not mean we are free from using God as a curse word, because the Bible instructs us not to use course language. However, Jesus’...
