The author of Hebrews labors throughout the letter to show the immense superiority of Jesus. A Ruth’s Chris steak is better than a hot dog. A Rembrandt is better than a flannel graph. The ocean is better than a baby pool. So Jesus is more excellent than the old covenant. He is our tabernacle, dwelling […]
How was Jesus’ Sacrifice Once and For All?
Jesus did something for us no high priest would ever do. He gave himself as a sacrifice for our sins. Hebrews 9:26 says, “…But he has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.” A 747 is better than a hang glider. A […]
Why Should We be Thankful for the Blood?
The question, “Why the blood?” naturally comes to all of our minds when reading the Old Testament. To grow in our love for Jesus, it’s one we can’t ignore. We can’t remove the blood like Thomas Jefferson took scissors and cut out the miracles of Jesus to make a version in his liking. Instead of […]
How to Find the One Thing We Want Most
Have you ever shared a struggle with someone who didn’t understand? They are quick with a fix, but their advice feels more like a slap in the face. Not wanting a slap, we keep our mouth shut. Because Jesus clothed himself in our humanity he can give us what we want most. All of us […]
How is Jesus Our Great High Priest?
The author of the letter of Hebrews wrote with the hope of encouraging new Jewish Christians to persevere. Because of their commitment to Jesus they faced imprisonment, others lost their personal property (Hebrews 10:34). The pull to turn away was tremendous. To build up their lagging spirits, the author referred to many famous Old Testament […]
Where is the Tabernacle Today?
After joining a local Scout troop, my son and I went on our first campout. We drove to the campsite and found our tribe set up around an attractive fishing pond. We made our introductions and began setting up our tent next to all the others. We fished, played games, ate S’mores, burgers, and shared […]
A Peek at the Holy of Holies
On the far end of the Courtyard was the actual tent. At God’s command, only priests could enter here. It was 15 foot high, 15 foot wide, and 45 foot long, or 675 square feet. If the footprint of the tabernacle was the size of an average church, this area was as large as a […]
Why Did God Want a Tabernacle?
The tent gave us a portable place to come together for fellowship, hear God’s word, and offer sacrifices of praise. As the winds of fall began to blow, we sensed the cloud leading us onward. We packed it up and headed for a new location. By the way, in a few years, Fairfax County bought […]
Our 21 Day Church Revival
After years of praying and believing a breakthrough happened. The small church now owned thirty-three acres on Route 7, a major artery connecting Fairfax and Loudoun counties. Anxious to worship on the future site and reach the community, the church scheduled a revival called Twenty-One Days a Blaze. The name fit the humid July meetings […]
