There's a shift happening in the Spirit. You can feel it. You've sensed it. You love Jesus—but you don't fit the mold. You're not called to preach sermons… You're called to build systems. You're wired for creativity, strategy, income, and impact. Welcome to the Age of the Builder. In this prophetic and practical episode, Mark Casto unpacks why God is raising up entrepreneurs, creators, coaches, and reformers—not just pastors. This is more than a career change. It's a Kingdom commissioning.
Welcome to the very first episode of The Mark Casto Program — a bold conversation at the intersection of faith, entrepreneurship, culture, and Kingdom reformation. In this powerful launch episode, Mark unpacks a word for the moment:
Peter Estrem was preacher for this service. Exodus 31:1-6: Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, to design artistic works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of workmanship. And I, indeed I, have appointed with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and I have put wisdom in the hearts of all the gifted artisans, that they may make all that I have commanded you.”

For today’s installment of our 40 Days Meditation series, our brother Miguel Vargas provides commentary on Ex 35:4-19; 35:30-36:1; 37:1-9. Listen below, download here, or search for Words from the Brothers on your favourite podcasting app. Moses said to all the congregation of the people of Israel, “This is the thing that the Lord has commanded. Take from among you a contribution to the Lord. Whoever is of a generous heart, let him bring the Lord’s contribution: gold, silver, and bronze; blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen; goats’ hair, tanned rams’ skins, and goatskins; acacia wood, oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense, and onyx stones and stones for setting, for the ephod and for the breastpiece. “Let every skillful craftsman among you come and make all that the Lord has commanded: the tabernacle, its tent and its covering, its hooks and its frames, its bars, its pillars, and its bases; the ark with its poles, the mercy seat, and the veil of the screen; the table with its poles and all its utensils, and the bread of the Presence; the lampstand also for the light, with its utensils and its lamps, and the oil for the light; and the altar of incense, with its poles, and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and the screen for the door, at the door of the tabernacle; the altar of burnt offering, with its grating of bronze, its poles, and all its utensils, the basin and its stand; the hangings of the court, its pillars and its bases, and the screen for the gate of the court; the pegs of the tabernacle and the pegs of the court, and their cords; the finely worked garments for ministering in the Holy Place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, for their service as priests.” Then Moses said to the people of Israel, “See, the Lord has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, with intelligence, with knowledge, and with all craftsmanship, to devise artistic designs, to work in gold and silver and bronze, in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, for work in every skilled craft. And he has inspired him to teach, both him and Oholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan. He has filled them with skill to do every sort of work done by an engraver or by a designer or by an embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, or by a weaver-by any sort of workman or skilled designer. “Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whom the Lord has put skill and intelligence to know how to do any work in the construction of the sanctuary shall work in accordance with all that the Lord has commanded.” Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Two cubits and a half was its length, a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height. And he overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold around it. And he cast for it four rings of gold for its four feet, two rings on its one side and two rings on its other side. And he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold and put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry the ark. And he made a mercy seat of pure gold. Two cubits and a half was its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth. And he made two cherubim of gold. He made them of hammered work on the two ends of the mercy seat, one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end. Of one piece with the mercy seat he made the cherubim on its two ends. The cherubim spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat were the faces of the cherubim. Ex 35:4-19; 35:30-36:1; 37:1-9
This past Sunday, we leaned into the power of wonder and how it connects us to God and our divine design. Albert Einstein once said, “He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.”From the vastness of the heavens to the peculiar beauty of the Okapi, all of creation vibrates with God's intentional design. Psalm 19 tells us that the skies pour forth speech, revealing knowledge—though we may not hear it, creation is constantly declaring His glory. And God didn't just place us in this world—He made us receivers of it! Our senses were designed to interpret and engage with His creation, calling us to be fully alive in wonder.But something happened. Humanity exchanged wonder for certainty, limiting what we believe is possible. The moment we put God in a box, we shrink our world, our faith, and our creativity. Yet, from the very beginning, God designed us to co-create with Him. When He filled Bezalel with His Spirit—the first person ever filled with the Holy Spirit—it wasn't to preach, but to create. Because when creativity is connected to God, it releases His Spirit and brings Heaven to Earth.God is inviting us to return to wonder. To break free from small thinking. To create with Him. Whether through art, business, relationships, or the way we serve others—our creativity becomes a vessel for His presence.So, let's not let the enemy steal our wonder. Let's allow God to breathe life into what seems lifeless. Because when we create in wonder, we make space for the impossible.What would happen if we lived in awe of God again? If we embraced the fullness of how He designed us?Let's step into wonder—and watch as Heaven touches Earth.For more info, you can go to our website, check us out on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.

Though he saw a vision of the holy ark, Moshe was not called to build it. This parasha gives us insight into the artistic genius of Israel gifted by God for that purpose: Bezalel, and his equally creative partner in the work, Oholiab.
Some of the most famous pianists in the world, including Van Cliburn and Vladimir Horowitz, relied on Franz Mohr, chief concert technician at Steinway & Sons in New York, to ensure that their concert pianos were ready for performances. A master piano tuner, Mohr was sought-after for his intricate knowledge of pianos and great skill developed over decades. Mohr believed his skills were an avenue to serve God, and he regularly shared his faith with pianists and performance staff. When the nation of Israel was preparing to build the tent of meeting and other items necessary for worship (Exodus 31:7–11), they needed individuals with expert skills. God appointed two skilled artisans, Bezalel and Oholiab, to do the work and filled them with the “Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills—to make artistic designs” (vv. 3–4). In addition to their specialized skills, God empowered them with His Spirit to guide their work. Their willingness to use their unique talents in service to God allowed the Israelites to appropriately worship Him. Whether or not we consider ourselves artistic, each of us has unique, God-given gifts that we can use to serve others (Romans 12:6). Empowered by the Spirit, we can serve and worship God through our work using the wisdom, understanding, and skills He’s given us.

In this episode of The Neshamah Project, we explore a deep teaching from the Degel Machaneh Ephraim about the spiritual connection between work, wisdom, and rest. Drawing from the story of Bezalel, who built the Mishkan with divine wisdom, we uncover the powerful insight that spiritual experiences need to be grounded through action. But what happens on Shabbat, when that work is forbidden? How do we integrate spiritual insight without action? Through the lens of the Degel's teaching, we'll explore how Shabbat represents a state of spiritual completion—a moment when heaven and earth align naturally, and the work is to simply dwell in the divine presence. Join us as we reflect on how to hold spiritual insight in both work and rest, action and surrender.
A message about what it looks like to have a "Spirit-filled" life.

Éxodo 35:31.María coleccionaba tapitas, potes, lápices (incluso los que quedaban bien cortitos de tanto uso) papeles de colores, moños, cintas y pedazos de telas. María hacía muchos años era maestra de niños. Le gustaba el arte y enseñaba cómo puede cambiar el día, y la vida también, haciéndola más alegre.Un día, estiró en el suelo de su calle, cerca de la vereda, un papel gigante, de esos que se hacen un rollo. Pronto se acercaron un montón de niños. María les contó de artistas y sueños; de poemas y pinceles.Los materiales de su colección estaban organizados en potes, y los niños pudieron tomar lo que deseaban para componer arte en el papel. Enseguida surgieron mariposas de tela y un cielo pintado con todos los colores.Ya oscurecía cuando las personas pusieron sus sillas en la vereda y vinieron a apreciar la exposición artística. Parecía un atardecer común, pero los niños del barrio de María jamás se olvidarían de ese día.¿Y si hacemos que el día de hoy sea creativo y especial? Dios pintó un mundo lleno de colores y alegría para ti. ¿Vamos a descubrir en familia manera de encontrar la felicidad todos los días?Mi oración: Querido Dios, gracias por tu creatividad al crear un mundo con muchos colores para que vivamos.Esmérate en la creatividad y usa tus colores preferidos para hacer una tarjeta para alguien a quien amas.
Are You Wearing Your Garment Right? Aligning Your Anointing with Your Character Have you ever rushed out the door, only to realize later that your shirt was on inside out and back to front? It might still be the right garment, but it's not being worn correctly. Could it be that sometimes, our understanding of God is just like that—inside out and back to front? The good news is that when we acknowledge this and seek to change, God can do something powerful within us. The Breath of God in You The Bible tells us that the very breath in our lungs is from God. The Hebrew word Ruach means "breath," "wind," and "spirit." Every breath we take is an opportunity to worship, to glorify God, and to live with purpose. Consider Joseph—God gave him dreams, but in his youth, he lacked the maturity to steward them well. He spoke before he understood. Yet, over time, through trials and refinement, he became a man of wisdom, recognized even by Pharaoh as one filled with the Spirit of God (Genesis 41:38). Then there's Bezalel, the artist commissioned to build the Tabernacle. His natural creativity was elevated when God filled him with His Spirit, giving him wisdom, understanding, and skill beyond human ability (Exodus 35:30-31). Both men were gifted, but their impact came when God's breath infused their abilities. Character Over Charisma What you build with your anointing can be destroyed by your character. You may be talented, skilled, or even spiritually gifted—but if your character isn't aligned with God's heart, everything you build can crumble. David, Micah, and Joseph all had a defining moment where the Spirit of God in them was evident—not just through their gifts, but through their obedience, wisdom, and moral clarity. Micah spoke truth with conviction. David wrote Psalms that carried divine power. Joseph led a nation through famine with God's wisdom. Their impact came not just from talent, but from a life shaped by God's refining hand. Fan the Flame Paul tells us to fan into flame the gift of God (2 Timothy 1:6). That means being aware of His Spirit in us and actively cultivating it. When we do, God breathes fresh fire into our lives. What has God anointed you for? What has He gifted you with? Are you wearing your spiritual garment correctly, or is it inside out and back to front? Today is a chance for a fresh start. Breathe in His life. Breathe out His praise. Align your character with your anointing, and watch how God moves in you and through you. Let's honour the breath that God fills our lungs with.
Today's daf is sponsored by Elisheva Gray in loving memory of Gidi Nahshon, z''l, Yoel Melech ben Moshe v'Sarah, on his tenth yahrzeit. "Gidi was a wonderful mentor, friend and chevruta. He made Aliyah to Israel from Prague and was in the IDF during both the 1967 and Yom Kippur wars. I feel his presence in my Daf Yomi studies every day, and I am grateful that he passed on to me his d'vekut for Israel and for Torah. May his neshama have an aliyah." Today's daf is sponsored by Miri Darchi in loving memory of her father Aharon Shimon ben David and Malka Tzirel. Abaye raises a difficulty against Rabba's position, that males before reaching maturity cannot father a child, from a verse in the Torah regarding a man who engages in relations with a shifcha harufa. The drasha on that verse includes a male over the age of nine. However, the difficulty is resolved, as this is not an indicator that the child can impregnate a woman at that age. Another difficulty is raised against Rabba from a braita of Rabbi Yishmael that derives an exemption for a ben sorer u'moreh who himself is a father - how could he be a father if he did not impregnate the woman before reaching maturity, since according to Rabbi Kruspedai, there is only a three-month window after reaching maturity to be a ben sorer u'moreh? This is resolved as well by explaining Rabbi Yishmael's drasha as the source for Rabbi Kruspedia's ruling - the three months is based on the fact that the child could potentially be called a father within three months of reaching maturity as his wife could become pregnant and would be showing it after the first three months. Rabbi Kruspedai's opinion is based on the majority of women who give birth at nine months and begin showing at three months and doesn't consider a woman who gives birth at seven months and would be showing at two and a third months. Could this prove that woman who gives birth at seven months also begins showing at three months and not at a third of her pregnancy (two and a third months)? This suggestion is rejected as he follows the majority. However, is that really true? This contradicts the concept that in capital law we try to find any possible way to exonerate the accused from the verse "and the congregation shall save." Two Mishnayot are brought to prove that we do follow the majority even in capital cases, but the second one is rejected as it can be explained differently. Beit Shamai and Beit Hillel disagree about a mother who has an incomplete sexual encounter with her minor son. Does this disqualify her from marrying a kohen, as she could be considered a zona from the interaction? Rav Chisda (either quoted someone else or he was quoted by someone else) explains that they all agree if the child was nine, that she would become disqualified, and if he was younger than eight, then she would not. Their disagreement is about a child who is between eight and nine, as in the days of the Tanach men were able to father children at eight, even though already in the time of the tannaim, this was no longer the situation. The debate is whether we learn from those times or follow what is true presently. What is the source that in the times of the Tanach men fathered children at age eight? At first, they try to prove from Shlomo, as his great grandfather Achitofel was twenty-six years older than him. However, this proof is rejected, as the lineage includes Bat-Sheva who was a woman and she could have been younger, and the men were older. The second attempt is brought from Avraham and Sara, but this is rejected as well as it is not clear whether Avraham was older than Sara's father, Haran or younger. The final proof comes from Bezalel who was the great-grandson of Caleb, who was twenty-six years older than him. If two years are deducted due to three pregnancies, then the remainder of the twenty-four years prove that each father was eight years old at the birth of his son. Why are girls exempted from being a ben sorer u'moreh?

En el capítulo 37, en este capítulo, obtenemos detalles de cómo Bezalel hizo todo lo necesario para el tabernáculo. Hizo la mesa para el pan de la presencia, el candelabro, el altar de incienso. Ahora en el capítulo 38 él hace el altar del holocausto y la fuente de bronce y toda la cantidad de materiales que el pueblo dio para hacer el tabernáculo se nos explica. En el capítulo 39 se hacen las vestiduras sacerdotales y a lo largo de este capítulo vemos que todo se hizo como el señor lo había mandado. En el capítulo 40, el tabernáculo se erige después de casi un año del éxodo de Egipto y por la obediencia del pueblo, el Señor habitó con ellos en forma de nube de día y de fuego de noche. Puntos importantes Dios vino a morar entre nosotros y aunque ya no está físicamente con nosotros. Nos envió el Espíritu Santo para que tengamos a Dios con nosotros cuando ponemos nuestra fe en Cristo y su obra en la cruz y su resurrección por la expiación de nuestro pecado.
Pastor Andrew Burchfield's sermon, "Keep the Faith In The Marketplace," encourages listeners to integrate their faith with their work and daily lives, viewing the marketplace as an essential place for ministry and leadership. The sermon reframes conventional ideas about leadership, wealth, and the role of faith in professional settings, inviting believers to see their work as a calling and an opportunity to positively influence the world around them. Redefining Leadership and Marketplace: Pastor Andrew reinterprets conventional definitions, broadening their scope to include everyday interactions and environments [1]. Leadership: Leadership is defined not by title or position but by the ability to positively influence the atmosphere and attitudes of others daily [2]. This definition encompasses various roles, including parents, employers, and employees [2]. Marketplace: The marketplace is any arena where conversations and influence occur, extending beyond traditional business settings to include schools, volunteer work, and even casual encounters at grocery stores [3, 4]. According to Pastor Andrew, the marketplace is a space for meaning, influence, and moments that honor Jesus [5]. Biblical Basis for Prosperity: The sermon addresses common misconceptions about wealth and Christianity, arguing that God empowers individuals to create wealth and achieve success [6]. Deuteronomy 8:18: This scripture is foundational, asserting that God gives people the power to generate wealth [6]. The sermon references multiple translations to highlight different aspects of this power [6, 7]: NIV: God gives the ability to produce wealth [6]. New Living Translation: God gives the power to be successful [7]. Amplified Bible: God gives the power to make wealth, remembered with profound respect [7]. Pastor Andrew clarifies that the ability to create wealth does not negate the need for hard work or the potential for hardship [6]. Old Testament Examples: The sermon cites numerous figures to illustrate that faith and prosperity are not mutually exclusive [8, 9]: Abraham: A wealthy livestock owner [8]. Isaac: Successful in agriculture [8]. Jacob: Managed large flocks and strategically bred animals [8]. Joseph: Managed a national food supply chain in Egypt [9]. Boaz: A wealthy landowner and grain merchant [9]. Solomon: Involved in international trade and shipping [9]. Lydia: A seller of purple cloth [9]. New Testament Examples: Peter, Andrew, James, and John: Fishermen before becoming disciples [9]. Matthew: A tax collector before becoming a disciple [9]. Practical Ways to Keep Faith in the Marketplace: Pastor Andrew offers practical guidance on integrating faith into daily interactions and professional conduct. He shares four ways to keep the faith in the marketplace, noting that six more are available on bwc.online [10]. Conversations: Words have the power to shape the world [10]. Referenced Scripture: Colossians 4:6 advises that speech should be gracious and thoughtful [11]. Character: Personal integrity influences one's impact [12]. Referenced Scripture: Proverbs 10:9 states that integrity ensures security [12]. Creativity: Innovation is a divine gift for solving problems and shaping the future [13]. Story of Bezalel from Exodus 31:2-5, who was gifted in creating the Tabernacle and Ark of the Covenant [14]. Consistency: Consistent actions create significant influence [15]. Referenced Book: The Atomic Habit by James Clear highlights the power of small, incremental improvements [15]. Referenced Scripture: Luke 16:10 emphasizes faithfulness in small matters [15]. Analogy of a Guitar: To underscore the importance of consistency, Pastor Andrew uses the analogy of a guitar. He explains that just as each string on a guitar must be properly tuned to create harmonious music, different areas of our lives (emotions, appearance, desires, physical health, and eternal perspective) must be consistent to live in harmony with God's will [16, 17]. Each string represents a different note: E, A, D, G, B, and E [16]. When one aspect is out of tune, it affects the overall quality and effectiveness of our lives and witness in the marketplace [16, 17].
After a period of great rebellion against the Lord, He called Israel to consecration, and His presence regularly came down to be among them in the Tent of Meeting. When it came time to build the more permanent Tabernacle, He called Bezalel to be the chief artisan, along with Oholiab. Bezalel was chosen for his heart for the Lord, Who filled him with His Spirit and equipped him for the work. Bezalel's exactness is fulfilling God's Word stands as an example for us to obey "to the letter", and to work hard to honor the Lord and exhibit HIs presence in our lives.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Good day and welcome to the Daily Radio Bible. It's the 4th of February, day 35 in our journey through the scriptures, where together, with people from around the world, we seek to see Jesus and warm our hearts by the fire of God's love. Today, guest speaker Heather guides us through a contemplative exploration of Exodus chapters 37-38, Psalm 19, and Acts 11. As we delve into the intricate details of Bezalel's craftsmanship in constructing the tabernacle and explore the psalms' poetic proclamation of God's glory, we're reminded of the deeply personal and transformative work Christ is doing in our lives. Through prayer, we ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate the scriptures and guide us in fulfilling God's purpose. Join us as we reflect on the beauty of being a living stone in God's spiritual temple and find encouragement in the reality of Christ's masterpiece, which includes us all. Let the joy of the Lord be your strength, for you are loved. Be sure to like, share, and subscribe to stay connected with our daily reflections. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Bezalel, this master craftsman mentioned here in Exodus, has been tasked by Moses to build this tabernacle. This tabernacle is a shadow, a copy of a temple that is in heaven. Bezalel's name even means in the shadow of God. The shadow that he lives under is another craftsman. Someone far greater than Bezalel, and his name is Jesus. Jesus is a far better Bezalel, and he is making things too. He is making a temple, and he is doing it with the most precious materials. Bezalel used silver and gold and bronze and precious stones, but Jesus is using something even more valuable. He is using people. People like you and me. We are the temple of God. We are carefully being fit together. Placed together in God's house by the hand of God. First Peter 2:5 says it like this. And you are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple. What's more, you are his holy priests. Through the mediation of Jesus Christ, you offer spiritual sacrifices that please God. So let's take a look at what Bezalel is making here in Exodus. It too is a delightful, inspired, magical, and amazing thing, but it's only a shadow. The reality is what Christ is doing. He's the master builder. He is making a masterpiece, and you are in it. Today, you are living not in the shadow, but in the reality of Christ himself. He's shaping you, his living stones, and you are part of his temple. Rejoice in the goodness of it and draw strength from the encouragement of this truth. Christ is building something, and we are all part of it. Rest in your home right there with him. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

Rabbi Rudinsky is the Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivas Ohr Reuven in Monsey.
Exodus 39 describes the making of the priestly garments and the completion of the Tabernacle. The chapter begins with the creation of the sacred garments for Aaron and his sons, as commanded by the Lord. The skilled artisans, under the leadership of Bezalel, weave the garments using blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, as well as fine linen. The first item described is the ephod, crafted with gold threads that were hammered and cut into thin sheets, then woven with the colorful yarn and linen. The ephod is adorned with onyx stones, engraved with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, set in gold filigree and mounted on the shoulders of the ephod. Next, the chapter details the making of the breastpiece, an ornate square piece of fabric embroidered with gold, blue, purple, and scarlet threads. It is decorated with twelve gemstones, each engraved with the name of one of the tribes of Israel, symbolizing the unity and representation of the nation before God. The breastpiece is secured to the ephod with gold chains and cords. The chapter also describes the other garments: the robe of the ephod, made entirely of blue cloth with pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and bells of gold around its hem; the tunics of fine linen for Aaron and his sons; the turban and headbands of fine linen; and the sash embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn. The priests' garments are completed with a gold plate, inscribed with the words “Holy to the Lord,” and fastened to the turban with a blue cord, signifying the holiness of the priests and their role in serving the Lord. Finally, the chapter concludes with the completion of the entire Tabernacle as per the Lord's instructions given to Moses. The Israelites bring the finished work to Moses, including the tent, its furnishings, the ark of the covenant, the table of showbread, the lampstand, the altar of incense, the altar of burnt offering, and all other items. Moses inspects the work and finds that everything has been made exactly as the Lord commanded. He blesses the people for their obedience and dedication, marking the successful completion of the Tabernacle and the priestly garments. This chapter highlights the Israelites' commitment to honoring God through meticulous craftsmanship and obedience, reflecting their reverence for His presence among them.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.
Exodus 38 details the construction of specific elements of the Tabernacle, highlighting the craftsmanship and dedication of the Israelites under the leadership of Bezalel. The chapter begins with the making of the altar of burnt offering, constructed from acacia wood and overlaid with bronze. It is equipped with horns at its four corners and various utensils, all made of bronze, including pots, shovels, basins, forks, and firepans. Bezalel also creates a bronze grating to fit into the altar, with rings and poles to facilitate its transportation. The next item described is the bronze basin, made from the mirrors of the women who served at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. This basin, along with its stand, is used for ceremonial washing, emphasizing the importance of purity in worship. The narrative then turns to the courtyard, describing its dimensions, materials, and craftsmanship. The courtyard is enclosed by curtains made of finely twisted linen, hung on bronze pillars with silver hooks and bands. The entrance curtain is crafted from blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, woven with fine linen, reflecting the intricate design that signifies its sacred purpose. Exodus 38 concludes with an inventory of materials used in the Tabernacle's construction. Ithamar, Aaron's son, oversees the recording of these materials. The total weight of gold, silver, and bronze collected from the Israelites is meticulously listed. The silver is derived from a census tax, with each man aged twenty and older contributing half a shekel. These resources are used for the sockets, hooks, and other components of the Tabernacle. This detailed account underscores the collective effort and generosity of the community in creating a dwelling place for God, a symbol of His presence among His people.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.
Exodus 37 provides a detailed account of the construction of sacred items for the Tabernacle, demonstrating both obedience to God's commands and the beauty of skilled craftsmanship. Bezalel, the chief artisan filled with the Spirit of God, leads this work with precision and dedication. The chapter begins with the construction of the Ark of the Covenant, made of acacia wood and overlaid with pure gold. It includes gold rings and poles for transportation and features a mercy seat with two cherubim of hammered gold facing each other, their wings outstretched to cover the mercy seat. This Ark symbolizes God's presence among His people, with the mercy seat representing His grace and covenantal relationship. Following this, Bezalel crafts the table for the bread of the Presence, also made of acacia wood and overlaid with gold. The table is adorned with gold utensils, including dishes and bowls, used for offerings. The bread of the Presence signifies God's provision and the covenant He maintains with Israel. The golden lampstand, or menorah, is then created from pure gold, intricately designed with branches, almond blossoms, and lamps. This lampstand serves as a powerful symbol of God's light guiding His people. Bezalel also constructs the altar of incense from acacia wood, overlaid with gold, with rings and poles for carrying. This altar is used to burn fragrant incense, symbolizing the prayers of God's people rising to Him. Finally, the chapter concludes with the preparation of the holy anointing oil and fragrant incense, crafted according to God's specific instructions, emphasizing the sanctity of worship and the holiness of God. Throughout the chapter, key themes emerge. The detailed adherence to God's instructions highlights the importance of obedience and reverence in worship. Each item's craftsmanship and use of fine materials underscore the sacredness of the Tabernacle and the need to offer our best to God. The Ark, mercy seat, bread, and lampstand all foreshadow Christ, who embodies God's presence, mercy, provision, and light in the world. Bezalel's role as a Spirit-filled artisan reminds us that all talents and gifts are to be used for God's glory. Exodus 37 calls us to reflect on how we serve and worship God today. It encourages excellence in using our abilities, a deep reverence for His holiness, and a commitment to honoring His presence in our lives. This chapter serves as a reminder of God's desire to dwell among His people and the profound privilege of being invited into His covenant relationship. Through Jesus Christ, the fulfillment of these sacred symbols, we are drawn closer to God, becoming temples of His Spirit and witnesses to His glory.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.
Reflection on Exodus 36 Exodus 36 recounts the construction of the Tabernacle, emphasizing the Israelites' obedience, generosity, and collaboration in building a sacred space for worship. The chapter highlights the craftsmanship of Bezalel, Oholiab, and other skilled artisans who were endowed with wisdom and understanding from God to execute the intricate details of the Tabernacle. It also demonstrates the Israelites' extraordinary willingness to contribute to God's work, as their offerings exceeded what was needed.

We should seek to work diligently and rely on the Holy Spirit for wisdom and creativity in all we do. 3.Attention to Detail in Worship (Verses 8-38): The remainder of the chapter describes the precise construction of the Tabernacle's components, such as the curtains, frames, and coverings. These details reflect God's holiness and the importance of approaching Him with reverence. Application: This meticulousness calls us to approach our worship and service to God thoughtfully and intentionally. It encourages us to prioritize excellence in honoring Him, not out of legalism but as an act of love and devotion.

Reflection on Exodus 35 Exodus 35 marks a pivotal moment in the construction of the Tabernacle as Moses instructs the Israelites on God's commandments regarding its building. The chapter underscores themes of obedience, community involvement, and the sanctity of the Sabbath, all while highlighting the importance of skilled craftsmanship and generosity in worship. Key Themes in Exodus 35 1.The Sabbath Rest (Verses 1-3): Moses begins by reminding the Israelites to observe the Sabbath, emphasizing its sacredness. Even in the midst of their work for the Tabernacle, the command to rest remained central. The penalty for violating this command is severe, underscoring the seriousness of keeping the Sabbath holy.

It is a reminder to prioritize spiritual renewal and obedience, trusting that God honors those who honor His commands. 2.A Call for Generosity (Verses 4-9): Moses invites the Israelites to bring freewill offerings for the construction of the Tabernacle. The materials include precious metals, fabrics, wood, and spices. This voluntary giving was an opportunity for the people to contribute to a sacred purpose.

In our lives, it reminds us to give joyfully and sacrificially, trusting that God uses our contributions to further His purposes. 3.The Role of Skilled Workers (Verses 10-19): God calls for skilled artisans to lead the construction. These individuals, filled with God's Spirit, were entrusted with creating intricate and beautiful elements of the Tabernacle. Application: This demonstrates that God values our unique talents and equips us for specific roles in His work. Whatever our gifts—whether in leadership, creativity, or service—they are meant to glorify Him. 4.The Response of the Community (Verses 20-29): The entire community responds with overwhelming generosity, bringing their offerings and talents to the project. Both men and women contribute what they have, from material possessions to their skills, showing unity and dedication to God's command. Application: This passage highlights the power of collective effort and the beauty of a unified community working toward a shared goal. It encourages us to contribute to God's work together, each bringing our own gifts and resources. 5.Bezalel and Oholiab (Verses 30-35): God specifically calls Bezalel and Oholiab, filling them with wisdom, understanding, and skill to lead the work. Their divine empowerment emphasizes that God not only calls us to serve but also provides the ability to accomplish His purposes. Application: When God calls us, He equips us. This should encourage us to trust in His provision and guidance, knowing He will give us the skills and resources needed for His work. Lessons from Exodus 35 •Obedience to God's Commandments: Observing the Sabbath and responding to God's instructions reflect a heart of obedience and reverence. •Generosity in Worship: Giving to God's work is a privilege and should come from a willing and joyful heart. •The Value of Individual Gifts: Every talent and skill has a place in God's work, and He empowers us to use them for His glory. •Unity in Community: When a community works together, united in purpose and faith, incredible things can be achieved. Conclusion Exodus 35 serves as a powerful reminder of how God invites His people to participate in His divine plan. It emphasizes the importance of obedience, generosity, and the use of our God-given talents.

For the new year, we will be looking at how our work, broadly understood, can glorify God. Looking to the example of Bezalel from the Book of Exodus, we see how any kind of work can glorify God. 在新的一年裡,我們將思考我們的工作如何從廣義上榮耀上帝。透過《出埃及記》中比撒列的例子,我們看到任何工作都可以榮耀上帝。
Exodus 31 is a pivotal chapter in the book of Exodus, detailing God's instructions to Moses concerning the skilled artisans appointed to construct the Tabernacle, as well as a reminder of the importance of the Sabbath. 1. Bezalel and Oholiab Chosen (Exodus 31:1-11) God specifically calls Bezalel, the son of Uri, from the tribe of Judah, and fills him with His Spirit, granting him exceptional wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and craftsmanship. Bezalel is given the ability to work in gold, silver, and bronze, as well as to design artistic works, cut stones, and carve wood. God also appoints Oholiab, from the tribe of Dan, as his assistant. This passage highlights the divine origin of human talent and skill. God empowers individuals with abilities to serve His purposes. These artisans are tasked with creating the Ark of the Covenant, the lampstand, the altar, and all other furnishings for the Tabernacle, as well as the priestly garments and the anointing oil. 2. The Sabbath Rest Commanded (Exodus 31:12-17) God reminds Moses of the importance of the Sabbath as a sign of the covenant between Himself and the Israelites. Observing the Sabbath is a mark of holiness and devotion to God. The penalty for violating the Sabbath is severe, emphasizing its sacredness. This section reinforces the idea that even amidst great tasks, such as building the Tabernacle, God's people must rest and honor Him. The Sabbath serves as a reminder that God is the Creator who rested on the seventh day after completing His work. 3. The Tablets of the Covenant (Exodus 31:18) The chapter concludes with God giving Moses the two stone tablets inscribed by His own finger. These tablets contain the terms of the covenant, underscoring their divine authority and permanence. This moment signifies the culmination of God's instructions to Moses on Mount Sinai and sets the stage for the events that follow in Exodus 32, where the Israelites' disobedience with the golden calf is revealed. Key Themes 1.God's Empowerment: The calling and equipping of Bezalel and Oholiab show that God provides the necessary skills and resources to accomplish His work. 2.Sabbath Observance: The emphasis on the Sabbath highlights its role in maintaining a rhythm of worship, rest, and remembrance of God's covenant. 3.Divine Authority: The tablets of the covenant symbolize God's unchanging word and His direct involvement with His people. Reflection Exodus 31 reminds believers of the importance of using their God-given talents for His glory, honoring the sacred rhythms of work and rest, and submitting to the authority of His word. It calls us to reflect on how we balance work and worship in our lives and how we use our abilities to serve the purposes of God's kingdom.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.
Pastor BJ Sullivan launches a new series about discovering your purpose/cause. As a believer once you are aware of your purpose, everything you do can be infused with the power of The Holy Spirit just like we see in the story of Bezalel. He may be a complete unknown to some but that's ok because when you co-labor in your purpose with The Holy Spirit only being known by God will matter to you.

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 Oholiab and Bezalel to manufacture the parts of the tabernacle. What might this mean for our understanding of the phrase? They also discuss the charismatic view and compare it to the task-oriented nature of work. Finally, they discuss the importance of work and Sabbath for the Christian.We hope you enjoy, and as usual, if you have any questions for Sermon B-Sides or anything else, email us at pastor@coramdeochurch.org.

38 He made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood. Five cubits was its length, and five cubits its breadth. It was square, and three cubits was its height. 2 He made horns for it on its four corners. Its horns were of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with bronze. 3 And he made all the utensils of the altar, the pots, the shovels, the basins, the forks, and the fire pans. He made all its utensils of bronze. 4 And he made for the altar a grating, a network of bronze, under its ledge, extending halfway down. 5 He cast four rings on the four corners of the bronze grating as holders for the poles. 6 He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze. 7 And he put the poles through the rings on the sides of the altar to carry it with them. He made it hollow, with boards. 8 He made the basin of bronze and its stand of bronze, from the mirrors of the ministering women who ministered in the entrance of the tent of meeting. 9 And he made the court. For the south side the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits; 10 their twenty pillars and their twenty bases were of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver. 11 And for the north side there were hangings of a hundred cubits; their twenty pillars and their twenty bases were of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver. 12 And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their ten pillars, and their ten bases; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver. 13 And for the front to the east, fifty cubits. 14 The hangings for one side of the gate were fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and three bases.15 And so for the other side. On both sides of the gate of the court were hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three bases. 16 All the hangings around the court were of fine twined linen. 17 And the bases for the pillars were of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver. The overlaying of their capitals was also of silver, and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver. 18 And the screen for the gate of the court was embroidered with needlework in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen. It was twenty cubits long and five cubits high in its breadth, corresponding to the hangings of the court. 19 And their pillars were four in number. Their four bases were of bronze, their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals and their fillets of silver.20 And all the pegs for the tabernacle and for the court all around were of bronze. 21 These are the records of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were recorded at the commandment of Moses, the responsibility of the Levites under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 22 Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the Lordcommanded Moses; 23 and with him was Oholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver and designer and embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen. 24 All the gold that was used for the work, in all the construction of the sanctuary, the gold from the offering, was twenty-nine talents and 730 shekels,[b] by the shekel of the sanctuary.25 The silver from those of the congregation who were recorded was a hundred talents and 1,775 shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary: 26 a beka[c] a head (that is, half a shekel, by the shekel of the sanctuary), for everyone who was listed in the records, from twenty years old and upward, for 603,550 men.27 The hundred talents of silver were for casting the bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil; a hundred bases for the hundred talents, a talent a base. 28 And of the 1,775 shekels he made hooks for the pillars and overlaid their capitals and made fillets for them. 29 The bronze that was offered was seventy talents and 2,400 shekels; 30 with it he made the bases for the entrance of the tent of meeting, the bronze altar and the bronze grating for it and all the utensils of the altar, 31 the bases around the court, and the bases of the gate of the court, all the pegs of the tabernacle, and all the pegs around the court.
Let's get real—sexual health, pleasure, and intimacy are things we don't talk about nearly enough, even though they're so important to our overall happiness. Today, we're breaking down the "pleasure gap," where straight women often miss out compared to others in the bedroom, and what we can actually learn from queer relationships about communication and intimacy. Danielle Bezalel, a master's degree holder in public health and the creator of the popular podcast Sex Ed with DB, is joining me to share her expertise on why this happens and how we can change it, so pleasure becomes something we all experience more fully. Danielle also gets super candid about her own three-week self-pleasure experiment—yes, three weeks of daily self-care with the Magic Wand—and how it transformed her well-being. You'll hear some fascinating takeaways on the role of self-pleasure, how to better communicate with your partner, and some real talk on using sex toys and lubricants safely.
