From the very first promise of a Messiah in Genesis 3:15 to the miraculous arrival of Jesus on that first Christmas, God’s people lived with a deep, aching longing. They waited through generations, clinging to hope, trusting in the faithfulness of God.
Today, we find ourselves in a similar season of waiting—longing for the return of Jesus, our Savior and King. Yet Christmas reminds us of a profound truth: God always keeps His promises. The same God who sent His Son into the world will one day send Him again to restore all things.
This holy longing should ignite something within us. It should awaken a steadfast trust in the One who came to save and will come again in glory. Let the waiting inspire us to live with bold faith, unshakable hope, and a heart fully surrendered to Jesus. The promise is sure—He will return.
A group of very different men were called to join Jesus on His mission - a journey that would change the world. We are also called to be a body, different people, who unify under Jesus, while maintaining our uniqueness for the mission of Jesus.
The tabernacle was commanded to be a meeting place for God and His people. The journey of the people, through the priest, was atonement, redemptions, adoption = presence with God. This was a foreshadowing of Jesus, our Great High Priest, and His work on the cross so that we could be in His presence. The tabernacle is picture of the Love story of God to His people. We will use the furniture in the tabernacle to tell the Jesus story through the tabernacle.
