A Walk Through the Bible - Part 11 - The Tabernacle 6
Keep Your Lamp Lit
A Walk Through the Bible: The Tabernacle
God’s purpose for the Tabernacle was always about dwelling with His people. Every part of it was built according to the heavenly pattern—a shadow of something greater and more glorious in God’s presence (Hebrews 8:5). Today, under the New Covenant, we are the temple of God and His Spirit dwells...

Key Scripture: John 6:35
“I am the bread of life. He who comes to me shall never hunger, and he who believes in me shall never thirst.”
In John 6, a crowd went searching for Jesus after He miraculously fed the 5,000. But Jesus challenged their motives: they were seeking Him because they had eaten the loaves, not because they understood what the miracle revealed. The physical bread was pointing to som...

Planting for Consistent Growth
Key Scriptures: Psalm 1:1–3; Jeremiah 17:5–8
What does it take to live a life of consistent spiritual growth—not one that rises and falls with our circumstances?

The Bread of His Presence | Tabernacle — Part 5
In Part 5 of our Tabernacle series, we continue looking beyond the history and physical design of the Tabernacle to discover what it reveals about God’s desire to dwell with His people.
The Tabernacle was built according to a heavenly pattern. Every piece of furniture, every boundary, and every instruction pointed toward a spiritual reality that would ultimately b...
Dr. Jordon Gilmore
Every believer has received a unique gift from God—not to keep for themselves, but to share with others. Peter reminds us that we are to minister our gifts as good stewards of God's manifold grace. The Christian life is like a potluck: everyone is called to bring something that blesses the whole body.
Key Takeaways
- Every believer has received a gift.
- God's grace is both universal (life, breath, sa...

Getting Into Spiritual Shape
Just as physical fitness requires intentional exercise, good nutrition, rest, and consistency, our spiritual lives require training too. In this message, Jordon challenges us to consider an important question: Are we spiritually fit enough to handle what God has called us to do?
Key Scriptures:
1 Corinthians 9:24–27
Matthew 17:18–21
Daniel 1:8, 12–15

The Altar of Incense — Prayer, Relationship, and the Throne of God
The tabernacle was never just about rituals—it was always about relationship. God instructed Moses to build it because He desired to dwell among His people and meet with them (Exodus 25:22). Every piece of the tabernacle points to God's plan to bring humanity into His presence.

Dr. Jordon Gilmore
Many people come to Jesus seeking His blessings—and rightly so. God delights in providing for His children. But the Christian life was never meant to stop there. Jesus calls us beyond receiving from Him into fully following Him.
Using Peter's calling in Luke 5, this message challenges believers to move from simply pursuing God's blessings to embracing the life of a disciple.
Key Scripture
- Luke 5:1–11
- L...

The Ark of the Covenant

In this message, we explore the significance of the Ark of the Covenant and the Mercy Seat, discovering how every detail ultimately points to Jesus Christ and our relationship with God today.

Royal Priesthood
Part of the Tabernacle Series

Genesis 5:3 – Adam became the father of a son, Seth, who was "just like him, in his very image."
Main Idea
Fatherhood is not simply a consequence of having children—it is a calling from God.
Just as mothers reflect God's nurturing nature, fathers reflect God's nature as an initiator. God has designed fathers to plant seeds, start things, and help shape the next generation.

God’s Desire Has Always Been Relationship
From the Garden of Eden onward:
- God desired to walk with humanity
- Sin broke that fellowship
- The Tabernacle was God’s solution to dwell among His people
“Build me a sanctuary so I can live among them.”
The Tabernacle was literally a “Tent of Meeting.”
Why So Much Detail?
