Many people desire God’s blessings, but do not realize that blessing always comes through obedience. We want our lives, families, and churches to be blessed, but that blessing is determined by what we sow. If we sow obedience, blessing is the fruit.

There is a thunder and a roar in this passage that can make us quake and tremble. And we pray, our Father, that therefore we might be attentive to Your word as it is preached. We ask that it might make a deep impression upon us for good, for salvation, for spurring us on to

We are examining the Tabernacle as presented in Leviticus.
