Sermon B-Sides - E119 - Filled with the Spirit for Blue Collar Work - Exodus 31

Dec 13 2024 45 mins  
It is not uncommon to hear the phrase "filled with the Spirit" in connection to some kind of erratic spiritual experience. But in the Bible, that phrase is first connected to the skills necessary to build the tabernacle. In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten discuss what it means to be filled with the Spirit in light of the skill and wisdom given to Oholia

Sermon B-Sides - E118 - Visceral Worship and Involving the Senses - Exodus 30

Dec 06 2024 45 mins  
The worship of the tabernacle involved a lot of visceral components that people experienced through the senses. Incense, fire, smoke, water, and oil each play their part in the tabernacle. While many of these are shadows that point to heavenly realities, they also point to the creaturely nature of our worship. We may lean into a gnostic tendency to focus exclusively on spiritual th

Sermon B-Sides - E117 - High Priest as Shadow of the New Creation Priest - Exodus 29

Nov 29 2024 36 mins  
The coming new creation is one of the big themes of the New Testament. This new creation is so deeply related to our current redemption in Christ that we read that "if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation" (2 Cor. 5:17). But does the Old Testament teach new creation? Are there hints within the tabernacle and priesthood of the new creation that Christ came to bring? In this epi

Sermon B-Sides - E116 - Priestly Garments as a Christ Costume - Exodus 28

Nov 22 2024 35 mins  
Exodus 28 is all about the clothing that the high priest wore when serving in the tabernacle. Examining the details of the high priestly clothing helps us to understand how Christ is our High Priest. This clothing points to Christ's incarnation and mediatorial as our second Adam. In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Rusten and Pastor Jon discuss the meaning of the priestly und

Sermon B-Sides - E115 - The Tabernacle as Redemptive Geography - Exodus 27

Nov 15 2024 33 mins  
A crucial aspect of the tabernacle construction is its dimensions and geographical order. While we might scratch our heads and wonder why all these details are important, we haven't been left without the keys to understand what they mean. To understand the tabernacle, we need to look back to Sinai and Eden. In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten discuss how

Sermon B-Sides - E114 - Tabernacle: God's Purpose, God's People, God's History - Exodus 26

Nov 08 2024 42 mins  
God has a purpose for his people. He didn't just save them from Egypt, he reconciled them to himself and made them a new people that were to live for him and worship him. The number of words and chapters giving the details of God's prescription for the tabernacle speaks to the importance of corporate worship for his people. This is an important lesson for us today. Just like we mig

Sermon B-Sides - E113 - The Tabernacle as Home - Exodus 25

Nov 01 2024 34 mins  
When God instructs Moses on the construction of the tabernacle, there are details...lots of details. While these things may seem foreign or arbitrary to us, every detail was intentional and spoke something crucial that God's people needed to hear. It is helpful to think of the tabernacle as a kind of word of God communicated through the fabricated objects of the tent and its furnit

Sermon B-Sides - E112 - Covenant Theology: Sinai & New Covenant - Exodus 24

Oct 25 2024 42 mins  
How do the covenants of the Bible relate to the new covenant? How is Sinai related to the coming of Christ? Is Sinai a gracious covenant? In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten discuss the unfolding nature of God's promises and administrations of his covenant of grace. At Sinai, we see a covenant that is incomplete and unfulfilled. But it is still a graciou

Sermon B-Sides - E111 - Partiality, Lawfare, and Lying Politicians - Exodus 23

Oct 18 2024 40 mins  
God is against partiality in justice. But today, we are seeing an intentional institutionalization of partiality in the law. For example, in many cities, theft is being decriminalized by applying partiality to certain "disadvantaged" groups. This is exactly the kind of partiality that Exodus 23 addresses and condemns. In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten

Sermon B-Sides - E110 - God's Law: Can You Legislate Morality? - Exodus 22

Oct 04 2024 38 mins  
Can you legislate morality? Many Christians answer with a confident "no." But the same people who answer that way would likely not be in favor of repealing laws against murder or theft. If the law doesn't legislate morality, what does it legislate? In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten continue to discuss the relevance of the Law of the Covenant for how we
