2/4 Exodus 26 - A Place and A People that Honor the Lord

As we continue in our study of the Tabernacle, today in Exodus 26, we find that the details of this passage are not that daunting, in fact, they're even inspiring as we see that the Lord seeks our simple worship and fellowship; rather than some grand, complex form of worship. Join us as we talk about a place and a people that honor the Lord.   

DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS:

1.    What were the dimensions of the Tabernacle? What are some things that the podcast compared these dimensions too? What does this tell us about what should be the focus of worship? If we need a beautiful place to worship God, what might that tell us about the health of our worship? 
2.    What were the four layers of curtains that were in the Tabernacle?
3.    When the priest would look up, what would he see? What do you think this reminded him of? 
4.    What did the podcast suggest the goat hair blanket signified? How about the layer of ram’s skin dyed red? What was the purpose of the final covering that was probably made from the skins of a marine animal?
5.    What were the walls mounted into on the sides and beneath? What suggestion was given in the podcast as to why the Lord designed the Tabernacle this way?
6.    How many rooms was the Tabernacle comprised of? What were their names? What were their dimensions? What separated the two rooms? 
7.    What were the three items in the Holy Place?
8.    Who was the only person who could go into the room called “The Holiest of Holies”? When? 
9.    What was the shape of this room? What two other places in the Bible have this same shape? Therefore, what was this room pointing to? 
10.    The podcast mentions that one of the key purposes of the Tabernacle was to show our separation from the Lord. Why was this necessary? This about the non-believers you know, do they feel separated from God? How might this principle of separation help them understand their true condition before the Lord?
11.    When the veil was torn from top to bottom in Matthew 27:51, what does this show us about how Jesus opened access to God? How should this change our worship of God today?
