"Building the Sanctuary of the Lord"

In this heartfelt and visionary conclusion to the Exodus series, Reverend Holt draws attention to the final chapters of the book—where Israel, having received God’s law and survived the wilderness, now turns to constructing the sanctuary. This sacred space will house the presence of the Lord, guiding and centering the people in their worship and identity.

Reverend Holt connects Israel’s overflowing generosity with our calling today: to build not just physical structures for worship, but a living sanctuary—a community of believers offering their time, talents, and resources for the glory of God. Drawing on New Testament passages from 1 Peter and Ephesians, he explains how each believer is like a brick or stone, fitted together into a holy temple in which God’s Spirit dwells.
