Prepare your heart for our Sunday Morning Gathering by looking through these suggestions that will assist you in making the most of our time together.
You will find tangible suggestions for putting scripture to action in your personal life and in our corporate body, links to the songs we will sing, and lyrics for you to prepare for our corporate singing.
Critically Think
- Read Exodus 25.
- What is the purpose of the table that is described in vs. 23-30?
- What kind of wood is the table created from? Where else has this wood been used?
- What material will overlay the table?
- What will be set on the table?
- Describe the features of the lampstand detailed in vs. 31-40.
- How many branches will the lampstand have?
- What will the cups of the lampstand be fashioned after?
- What is the purpose of the lamp according to vs. 37?
Prayerfully Meditate
- Why was bread to be set on the table before the LORD?
- Look up Zechariah 4:1-14 and Revelation 11:4. How are the lampstands here being discribed and what do they represent?
- Why does God give explicit instructions for building the tabernacle instead of leaving it up to the people to design?
Intentionally Act
- Summarize what you have learned about the tabernacle from the last two weeks.
- How would you explain the purpose of the tabernacle?
- How does the description of the tabernacle increase your reverence for God?
- What does the description of the tabernacle teach you about the character of God?
- Click the links below to find the lyrics and recordings of the songs planned for our gathering this Sunday; learn the songs, study the lyrics and sing them with others.
- Pray for those leading our corporate gathering this week and for the Holy Spirit’s work as the Word of God is further explained and applied: Dawson Bryant: music; Sam Karl: elder prayer & scripture reading; Bret Capranica: teaching.
