Podcasts about dwelling place

Come join us in worshiping the only true and living God, Father, Son, and Spirit! With singing and the reading of his word with Romans 8:9-11.

Just as our Father provided in advance all the precious building materials for the Tabernacle in the wilderness and for the Temple in Jerusalem so did He provide for us as His temple.

We must build a church body that can meet the needs of continued discipleship at EVERY level of a persons walk with Christ. We are about two things specifically – evangelism and discipleship! Everything that we do in ministry MUST have both of those funct

All of us long to BE someplace. Psalm 84 shows us the place we're meant to be is in the presence of God. So why don't we long for God's presence like we ought? And how can we awaken a deeper longing? In this sermon, we explore Psalm 84's invitation to long for God's dwelling place, and we discover how Jesus fulfills this Psalm and brings us near to God.

As one examines Exod. 25-31 and 35-39 one finds a repeat – almost word for word in some cases – of verses related to the construction of the Tabernacle.  In the first instance it is God giving detailed instructions to Moses about the construction and the details of the garments of the High Priest and the Priests of the Sanctuary and their ordination ceremony.  In the second case, in chapters 35-39, we read about the actual construction of the Mishkan HaKodesh, the Holy Dwelling place of the Lord, or His Ohel HaKodesh, the Holy Tent (tabernacle in Latin just means tent).  So, we ask why the repeat of so many verses almost word for word.  This has led a few Bible scholars to develop the DOCUMENTARY HYPOTHESIS or the theory that the Torah was not written by only one man, namely Moses.  Thus, this makes Jesus, the Lord, God Himself, a liar when Jesus says the Torah are the books of Moses.  If they were written by special groups and more than one person, then Jesus should not say the Torah are the books of Moses implying Moses is the author.  Jesus is God and this creates a real problem as per the character of the Lord. However, a Jewish scholar, highly recognized and considered a superb Bible historian, Torah expert, and Hebrew scholar, Umberto Cassuto, found the answer to this repetition!  He found archaeologically that in the ancient near east those ancient peoples when writing about the construction of a special temple would repeat what they wrote.  The first writing was to show how a god or gods gave instruction to build the special temple.  The repeat was to describe the actual construction leading to the dedication.  This fits the Torah.  First … here's some background on Umberto Cassuto. UMBERTO CASSUTO Umberto (Moshe David) Cassuto, an early 20th-century Italian historian, rabbi, and scholar, wrote a popular Hebrew commentary on the Bible, as well as more detailed commentaries on the Book of Genesis and part of the Book of Exodus. His commentary is marked by an assumption that in order to understand the Bible, one must understand the Ancient Near-Eastern cultural context in which it was composed. As such, he incorporates archeological findings, his understanding of ancient Semitic languages, and literary tools into his analysis of biblical verses.  Cassuto in his own words discussing the repetition found not only in Exodus but throughout the Hebrew Scriptures. REPETITION IN EXODUS “The subject of the founding and building of a temple was a kind of permanent literary genre in the ancient literatures of the East; In it, it was customary to first come the divine speech describing the plan of the Temple in all its details and grammar, and then the story of the action, which repeats in an equal or similar way the description in the divine speech. And this is nothing more than a special detail of a general method, the method of repetition that was very popular with the writers of the ancient East.” (Accessed from https://www.sefaria.org/Cassuto_on_Exodus.35.2?lang=bi) Here are two links to two articles that are a must read.  These again will enhance and expand your understanding that Moses DID write the Torah and that the Documentary Hypothesis has been proven wrong. ARTICLE ON MOSES AS THE SOLE WRITER OF TORAH https://answersingenesis.org/bible-characters/moses/evidence-mosaic-authorship-of-torah/ SCHOLARLY ARTICLE BY CHRISTIAN SCHOLARS USNG CASSUTO'S FINDINGS  https://biblearchaeology.org/research-articles/the-documentary-hypothesis/ Once again I provide the article on Jesus' teaching about the Rabbi/Talmid model of His day.  He taught it precisely and accurately but NOT IN ENGLISH.  And He did not teach it IN GREEK but in HEBREW.  We in the church are commanded by the Lord to go and make disciples (talmidim in Hebrew).  And yet few churches even understand what Jesus meant when He mentioined disciples or talmidim.  Probably since so fe in the church know the Gree or the Biblical Hebrew and how to connect the Greek to the Hebrew.  Check it out … DID JESUS EVER SPEAK OF THE RABBI DISCIPLE RELATIONSHIP? DID HE EVER TEACH US USING HIS CULTURE? NOT IN ENGLISH OR GREEK BUT HEBREW!! Jesus said, "A pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher. (Luk 6:40) Pupil?  Nope.  The Greek word used here is μαθητής mathētēs (Strongs number G3101) meaning a learner, disciple or a pupil.  But, Jesus is speaking Hebrew and not Greek.  What is the Hebrew word for disciple?  It is Talmid (תַּלְמִיד) Strongs umber H8527 (pronounced talmeed). The plural form is Talmidim (תַּלְמִידִים) (pronounced talmideem). Teacher? Nope.  The Greek word used here is διδάσκαλος Didaskalos (Strongs number G1320) meaning instructor, doctor, master, teacher.  The Hebrew word in Jesus' day that διδάσκαλος Didaskalos translates is RAV ( רַב )(Strongs number is H8227) meaning master.  The Hebrew word RAVEE רבי meaning “my master.” So when Jesus is called “RABBI” in the Gospels in Hebrew He is being called RAVEE רבי or “my master.” So, so far, Luke 6:40 can be read … "A TALMID is not above his RAV but TALMIDIM, after they have been fully trained, will be like their RAV.” (Luk 6:40) FULLY TRAINED – Nope.  Better is “after he has been made καταρτίζω katartizō (Strongs number is G2675) meaning complete or perfect or finished).  In Jesus' day a TALMID of a RAV was finished when the RAV saw that his talmid was ready to go in the name of the RAV to teach the Bible just like the talmid's master or his rav.  Now we read Luke 6:40 from the Hebrew … "A TALMID is not above his RAV but TALMIDIM, after they have finished, will be like their RAV.” (Luk 6:40) BE?? – Nope.  The Greek word used here is ὡς hōs (Strongs; number 5613) meaning “exactly like.”  It translates the Hebrew letter used as a prefix KEE כְּ meaning just like, identical, the same as, be like.  So we finally come to the complete translation from the English to the Greek to the Hebrew of Luke 6:40.  "A TALMID is not above his RAV but TALMIDIM, after they have finished, will be EXACTLY LIKE their RAV.” (Luk 6:40) The RAV and TALMID Relationship To be a talmid was a highly esteemed honor. The relationship between a RAV (we'd say rabbi) and his talmidim went far beyond basic education: Total Dedication: A talmid would often leave their former life, home, and family to follow their rabbi full-time. Imitation: The primary goal of a disciple was not just to know what the rabbi knew, but to become exactly like the rabbi. This meant absorbing the rabbi's lifestyle, character, and interpretation of the scriptures. Walking in the Dust: Ancient Jewish writings describe disciples following their teacher so closely that they became covered in the "dust of the rabbi's feet".

From “In the Beginning” to Amen // God's Dwelling Place God's Purpose Is Not That We Just See Him or Are Aware of Him, But Rather Seek Him and Know Him. Psalm 132:13-14 (NLT)“For the Lord has chosen Jerusalem he has desired it for his home. ‘This is my resting place forever,' he said. ‘I will live here, for this is the home I desired.'” God Always Chooses a People Before He Chooses a Place. God's Passionate Desire Is to Dwell with His People. Not To Exclude the Nations… But To Reach and Bless the Nations. God's Interested in Building People but He Did Choose a Location… God Chose Jerusalem. 2 Chronicles 6:6 (NKJV)"I Have Chosen Jerusalem That My Name May Be There.” God Was Showing That His Promises Never Fail. Does Israel and Jerusalem Still Matter? God Never Breaks His Promises. Romans 11:28-29 (NLT)“Many of the people of Israel are now enemies of the Good News, and this benefits you, Gentiles. Yet they are still the people he loves because he chose their ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For God's gifts and his call can never be withdrawn.” Jerusalem Still Matters Because God's Covenant Faithfulness Still Matters. Hosea 14:4-7 (NKJV)“I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely,
For My anger has turned away from him. I will be like the dew to Israel;
He shall grow like the lily and lengthen his roots like Lebanon. His branches shall spread; His beauty shall be like an olive tree,
And his fragrance like Lebanon. Those who dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall be revived like grain and grow like a vine.”  Zechariah 12:2-3, 9-10 (NLT)“I will make Jerusalem like an intoxicating drink that makes the nearby nations stagger when they send their armies to besiege Jerusalem and Judah. On that day I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock. All the nations will gather against it to try to move it, but they will only hurt themselves… For on that day, I will begin to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. Then I will pour out a spirit of grace and prayer on the family of David and on the people of Jerusalem. They will look on ME whom they have pierced and mourn for him as for an only son.” Because Wherever God Places His Purposes… The Enemy Concentrates His Opposition. Don't Be Surprised When the Place God Chooses Becomes the Place the Enemy Attacks. Behold… The Dwelling Place of God Is with Mankind.

The core themes and messages include: The Identity of "This House": It poses questions about identity, asking "Who dwells here?" and "What's your name?" It identifies the people of the house as "a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God," tasked with declaring His praises.234 Community and Fellowship: It emphasizes the importance of community, referencing Hebrews 10:25 to urge individuals not to neglect meeting together and to encourage one another.5 Perseverance and Focus: Referencing Hebrews 12:1-2a, it encourages throwing off hindrances and sins, running the race with perseverance, and fixing one's eyes on Jesus while being surrounded by a "great cloud of witnesses."6 God's Devotion and Covenant: Referencing Isaiah 54:10, it highlights God's unshakeable devotion and His "covenant of friendship" and compassion, which will not be removed even if mountains and hills are displaced.

Leviticus is one of the most overlooked books in the Bible, yet it is filled with some of the most powerful pictures of Jesus Christ found anywhere in Scripture. At its core, the book answers one essential question: how do sinful people draw near to a holy God? Every offering, every feast, and every ritual points forward to Jesus as the unblemished sacrifice who fulfilled the law completely. Because of what He accomplished, we do not simply stand near God's presence. Through the Holy Spirit, we become the dwelling place of God Himself. The offerings in Leviticus teach us to bring our best to God, not our leftovers, just as God gave His very best for us in His Son. Building intentional spiritual rhythms into daily life helps us stay anchored to what truly matters and keeps us connected to God when life grows loud and distracting.

In Days of the Fathers, Alan follows Elijah's journey from the mountain of victory, to the tree of exhaustion, to the cave of encounter. Speaking on Father's Day, he names both the pain of fatherlessness and the loneliness carried by many fathers, inviting us to receive the restoring blessing of the Father. This message calls Dwelling Place to become a mature, fathering house: a people no longer driven by proving, striving, or chasing signs, but formed by God to raise sons and daughters. As the Spirit of Elijah turns hearts again, we are invited to come out of weariness and confusion into fresh anointing, fresh assignment, and a generational vision for what God is building.

As we step into the summer season at Dwelling Place, we're looking to Acts 13 and the pattern of God's kingdom: before there is a sending, there is a forming. This month, a team of our high school students is preparing to head to Cambodia. Before they go, we take time to hear from four of them—Sam, Quentin, Jacob, and Caleb—as they share their hopes, prayers, and expectations for the journey ahead. More than that, each of them opens the Scriptures and shares what God has been speaking to them throughout this year. Their words remind us that God is not only moving in the next generation—He is speaking to them, shaping them, and speaking through them right now. Join us as we celebrate a rising generation, explore Acts 13 together, and hear stories of faith, growth, and surrender before the sending. Be encouraged by what God is doing in and through these young ones.

Continuing our series in Ephesians, Chad speaks on Ephesians 2:18-22 describing the way in which we, as the church, should be filled with the spirit and enjoy the manifest presence of God in our lives, making ourselves dwelling places for God.

Every exile ends. Every longing finds its answer. In Revelation 21, the Apostle John is given a vision of the new creation — and at the center of it is not a place, but a promise: God himself will dwell with his people. Jesus is calling his church home, and home turns out to be him.

This section of Exodus gives lengthy instructions for the construction of the tabernacle and the functioning of the priesthood. These are patterned after heavenly realities that ultimately point to our redemption and reconciliation through the Person and work of Jesus Christ.

In the remaining chapters of Ezekiel, the final details of the temple and land of the Millennium are revealed. The main emphasis, however, comes at the very end. What makes this land, this temple, and these sacrifices so special? The fact that the Lord God is among His people!

For every believer, life in heaven awaits us with a resurrected body.

Friends, on this Fifth Sunday of Easter, there's a somewhat hidden theme that runs like a golden thread through the readings, and that theme is the temple. To understand the New Testament texts, we have to see the importance of the Jerusalem temple for ancient Israelites. It was the focal point of Jewish life—the political, cultural, and of course religious center of the country. It was seen, in almost a literal sense, as the dwelling place of God on earth.

In this message, we are opening a study of the Temple - not an exhaustive walkthrough, but God's intention for His Presence to dwell with His people. As we uncover God's instructions to His people regarding the Temple in then Old Testament, we will discover more of His heart for us - His Temple today.

God doesn't just want a place to dwell among His people, He wants to dwell within His people. In Week 2 of of this series, we'll discover what it means for Christ to make His home in our hearts and how His presence transforms our lives.  

God does not want us to be lost but wants us to live and proclaim His goodness.

What if the church is meant to be more than a place we attend? In week one of this two-week series, we'll explore how God is shaping His people together into a living temple where His presence dwells among us.
