As we move from who the priest are to the duties they perform we see that God has given a gracious pattern for worship that continues to give shape to the life of believers today.

In Exodus we see how God provided priests to bear the burdens of the people before his presence. This beautiful ministry prefigures Christ and call us to the same.

The tabernacle, God's chosen place of dwelling with his people, draws us in, helps us see, and reveals his heart even as it ultimately points us to Jesus.

In the Book of the Covenant God establishes a vision for society that is generous and just rooted in God's own love for his people.

Our compassionate God gave laws to the Israelites pertaining to their cultural context that, by using good questions and discernment together in community, we might articulate broad principles to apply God's values to our own cultural context.

In the Book of the Covenant we meet a gracious God who teaches a slave people how to live freely.

Exodus 24 is the centerpoint of God's establishment of the covenant with Israel that was promised in Exodus 6. In it we see a pattern for God's love for his church that culminates in Jesus Christ.

The Holy Spirit empowers followers of Christ to be powerful witnesses of the gospel through a shared life and sacrificial service to show the resurrected life to the watching world.

Throughout Psalm 119 we see the connection between the word, justice, and the steadfast love of the Lord. A deeper dive into these themes holds forth a hopeful path for those who follow Jesus.

Aproximately 3000 yrs. ago the psalmist asks, "how can the young keep their way pure?" While time has passed, that question remains as relevant today as it was then, not only for the young but for all who seek to follow Jesus. The good news of how Christ meets our deepest need is to be found in his word.
