Building the Sanctuary of the Lord

Closing the Exodus series, the sermon follows Israel as it builds the tabernacle and gives so generously that Moses must tell the people to stop. Under the new covenant, God's people are themselves the sanctuary, living stones fitted together as 1 Peter and Ephesians describe. Preached in stewardship season, it gives thanks for staff, clergy, and volunteers, and ends with the glory of the Lord filling the tent of meeting.
