Another key part of the Mosaic Covenant was the priesthood. Someone set apart by God to be a mediator - someone who could enter God’s presence on behalf of the people. This is another moment to demonstrate how Aaron and his sons are a profound picture of what God would do in the future.

The tabernacle became the central focus of the nation of Israel - a tent where God dwelt among his people. But as significant as this was for Israel at the time, God was using it to tell a story about something far more significant that would happen in the future.

Since the beginning of human history, God’s desire to partner with people is seen in the covenants He makes. This week takes us to the dramatic scenes of Exodus where God seeks to partner with the entire nation of Israel. It leads us to consider the 10 commandments and ask what relevance they have for us today.

While storms in life are common to all and inevitable, there is open to us the opportunity to withstand them and it’s found in obedience. If we’re tired of picking up the pieces of our lives and mending broken relationships every time a storm comes, what does it look like to build well?

What comes out of our mouths is the fruit that demonstrates the condition of our hearts. Before working on our words, maybe God needs to do something deeper.

While condemnation is history and forgiveness rules, Jesus does call for an environment where we challenge one another but only once we’ve challenged ourselves. Here we discover that Jesus really does have something to say in our world that’s grappling with inclusion.

Jesus invites us into a different way of interacting with others. He challenges our view of justifying our behaviour based on either what we desire or what others do.

To all those who were listening, from all backgrounds and beliefs, Jesus redefines success. The things we pursue, the things we celebrate are not necessarily the things that God does. Could it be that those we often look down on are actually better off?

It’s great when we feel in control. When the job is secure, the bank balance is big and everything is looking up. But how much is enough. And what if it’s not looking up? Could there really be a joy in the times of lots and the times of little? Let’s discover the rare and precious joy of contentment.

One of the words that seems to characterise our generation is anxiety. Whether it be world events, issues closer to home or our inner-world, the turmoil is real. So is the only solution to be free from turmoil or is there a better way through it all. Paul certainly thought so.

Paul found joy in people who were following Jesus with everything - forgetting what was behind, straining for what was ahead, running like they’re trying to win the prize, keeping their minds on heavenly things. Could our lack of joy be associated with a preoccupation with the present or an inability to move on from the past?

Finally, we get to the crux of joy. For all of the things we could use to give ourselves a sense of significance or worth, there is one who transcends it all. Paul thought he had it all and yet when he met Jesus, he realised the true source of joy and value. Have we?

We live in an age of celebrity like never before. Where we celebrate people for fame and fortune and wonder why we feel let down when they do something we don’t like. Could we be celebrating the wrong things? In Philippians, Paul calls us to honour people for the right things - people who live out the story of Jesus.
