Exodus 36 isn’t just about building God’s temple; it’s rich with life patterns that God showcases for His children. Moses’s call eventually included “…every skilled person to whom the Lord had given ability…” What a beautiful reminder that each person has been endowed by their Creator with certain skills and abilities that can help make … Read More

Exodus 35 Devotion
We all have skills and gifts that God has given us so that we can serve him and the body of Christ. Some of the gifts are “up front” skills that tend to get more attention – like teaching, preaching, evangelism, or leading others. For some reason, some people look at these gifts as if … Read More

The Radiant Face of Christ Moses heads back up Mount Sinai to meet with the Lord and as a result, his face becomes brightly radiant with the Lord’s presence.

Exodus 32 Devotion
Exodus 32 reveals to us how the Israelites became impatient. Because of their impatience, they began to make an idol out of gold, therefore false worshipping. I imagine that because Moses wasn’t there and God couldn’t actually see them, they figured that they could get away with their sin. This sin made God very upset. … Read More
