In the concluding chapters of Exodus we see a phenomenal picture of a whole people group responding the Lord: willingly, joyfully, corporately and individually, wholeheartedly, and completely according to His commands. And in the last few verses of Exodus 40, we see the why: because God's glory is greater than all else. So what questions should we ask ourselves?

What do we learn from the specific word used for the veil?

2 Samuel 12 gives us an incredible study of repentance. In order to fully understand this idea and practice, we must understand 3 things: the objective horror and depth of our sin, Who we sin against, and God is righteous to judge our sin. So how does this story of David teach us these things?

As we conclude and consider the entirety of the ten commandments, we can see how they answer several simple, timeless questions, but ones that always comes under attack. Is there absolute truth? Where does morality come from?
