David Hansen - March 23rd 2025 - The Message of the Tabernacle Exodus 25 1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Tell the sons of Israel to …..8…. construct a sanctuary for Me, so that I may dwell among them. 9 According to all that I am going to show you as the pattern of the tabernacle …. so you shall construct it. The Message of the Tabernacle God desires to meet with you. This meeting can take place anywhere. A wilderness is a good place (to meet with God). Worship should be a ‘life rhythm’. Worship should have a corporate expression. There are terms to the relationship. Matthew 11:28 John 4:23 2. This meeting could take place anywhere. Hebrews 4 14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto t

Ben Macdonald - March 9th, 2025 -Temptations Genesis 3 - 4 Genesis 3 :3 -15 Genesis 4 : 4 - 7 Temptation of Adam Satan plants doubt; "Did God really say that?" Sin entered the world because Adam and Eve doubted the truth and listened to the wrong voice. God reveals his plan to save humanity even while cursing the earth, foreshadowing the one who would crush the serpent. Temptation of Christ Once again, Satan attempts to plant doubt; "If you are the Son of God..." Adam gave away authority to Satan by doubting the Word of God. Jesus reclaims that authority when he responds to temptation with the word of God. Deuteronomy 8:1-3 Matthew 16:21-23 The Final Temptation of Christ Throughout his life, Jesus is repeatedly tempted to abandon the cross and thus abandon God's plan to redeem humanity. Throughout his life, Jesus is repeatedly tempted to abandon the cross and thus abandon God's plan to redeem humanity. The mental torment Jesus faced is finally revealed at Gethsemane. Facing the cross, Jesus is "o

Hebrews chapter 11: 23-28 By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king’s edict. 24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. 25 He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. 27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible. 28 By f

Tolu Ogunrinde- February 2nd, 2025 - The Name JESUS! JESUS CHRIST + Nothing = Everything Heb 12 v 1-2 The use of the name Jesus Christ as a common profanity. The lips of the godly speak helpful words, but the mouth of the wicked speaks perverse words. - Prov 10 v 32 The Birth of Jesus - Matt 1 v 18-21 - NLT The meaning of his name Jesus is the human name given to Mary by the angel Gabriel. Christ is His title, that signifies or reminds us he was sent from God to be a King and Deliverer. The Hebrew name of Jesus is “Yeshua” which mean “God saves”. “Christ” comes from the Greek word Christos, meaning “anointed one” or “chosen one.” This is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew word Mashiach, or “Messiah.” – John 1 v 40 The name of Jesus is important because of its meaning and because of whom it represents. The birth of Jesus Christ in this world was to fulfill a divine purpose and his name bears witness to that mission. ……………for he will save his people from their sins.” His purpose was to save people from the s
