Pastor Timothy shows that through God’s Mediator, God forgives and removes our sins, restoring us– and ultimately all creation– to dwell in his presence.

Explore how the story of the temple, the torn curtain, and the empty tomb reveals a God who isn't confined to holy places—but is on the move, inviting us to empty our hearts so He can fill our lives. This Easter message traces the journey from Eden to the Holy of Holies to the resurrection, showing why an empty tomb is the most powerful evidence of a living Christ at work in everyday people.------------We are growing the Kingdom of God through the lives of everyday people by reaching UP to God, IN to Grow, and OUT to GiveJoin us on Sundays at 9:30 in person and online!**Our live stream on Sunday mornings includes worship and announcements.

How can sinful people have a relationship with a holy God? The tension between God's holiness and human sin leaves many striving, yet never finding peace or access. In Leviticus 16 and Hebrews 9, Pastor Ben examines the Day of Atonement as a temporary system that exposed humanity's need for a true substitute. He shows that these rituals pointed forward to Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice fully accomplished what repeated offerings never could—complete reconciliation and direct access to God. The sermon clarifies that Christ alone is sufficient as both substitute and high priest. Listeners are encouraged to trust Christ fully and to approach God boldly, making use of the access His sacrifice has secured.Eastland is a Place to BelongEastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

In this message, Pastor Jon walks through one of the most detailed and often overlooked sections of the Bible—the tabernacle—and shows how it answers that exact question. What once required layers of sacrifice, separation, and ritual has now been completely fulfilled in Jesus. Step by step, every element points to a God who didn't stay distant but made a way to come near. This isn't abstract theology—it's deeply practical for anyone who's ever wondered where they stand with God.

Hey, have you personally experienced God's dramatic breakdown of barriers for the whole world? It's true—access is open for each person to commit to Christ as Lord and Savior! But just what are the established barriers that God has broken on behalf of us?

Clint and Wendy discussed the concept of the Holy of Holies in the Jewish temple during their Spiritual Cake Podcast episode. They explored the temple's structure, including its three main zones and the significance of the Holy of Holies, the most sacred space, which only the high priest could enter once a year during Yom Kippur. The discussion included details about the Ark of the Covenant and its contents, as well as comparisons to similar sacred spaces in other religions. Wendy shared insights into temple access requirements in Mormonism, reflecting on the protective nature of restricted sacred spaces and their importance in maintaining a contemplative environment.

The Throne of Grace We as believers in Christ have been granted the right to approach God's presence with boldness and faith. Hebrews 4:16 and Exodus 33, reveals to us the importance of entering the Holy of Holies and experiencing face-to-face encounters with the Spirit of God.

The Holy of Holies was the most sacred space in the tabernacle, hidden behind a thick veil that symbolized the unbridgeable divide between a holy God and sinful people. Only the high priest could enter, and only once a year. But when Jesus breathed His last, that veil was torn from top to bottom. The separation ended. The climax of worship is not what we bring to God, but what He opened for us: direct, confident access to His presence.

Crystal Rivers | Open Book | Oct 14, 2025 You possess something extraordinary: the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, who grants you unlimited access to every spiritual reality that Christ's blood has purchased. This is not a distant hope but your present reality. In the Old Testament, the tabernacle was divided into three distinct areas: the outer court, the holy place, and the most holy place (also called the holiest of all). Only the high priest could enter the most holy place where God's presence dwelt, and even then, just once a year, carrying the blood of sacrifices to obtain temporary atonement for Israel's sins. The outer court was where sacrifices occurred and where people dealt with their sins through repeated rituals. But something radical happened when Christ died and rose again. When you received Jesus as your Savior—not through religious activity or church membership, but through genuine repentance from your old nature and believing in His death and resurrection—you were immediately transported in the spirit realm into the holy place and the most holy place. This happens at the moment of salvation, not gradually over time. Here's what this means: The outer court represents the place of salvation itself, where the sacrifice occurs. Once you've received Christ, you don't remain there in endless cycles of repentance and sin-consciousness. You've been qualified by Christ's blood and conveyed into the kingdom of God. The New Testament writers don't even recognize the outer court as part of God's house for believers. It's been left for those who don't truly know God—those still trapped in worldly thinking and repetitive sin patterns. **Your Access to the Most Holy Place** Scripture commands you to come boldly—not timidly, not with inferiority, not weighed down by sin-consciousness—to the throne of grace. Christ has already entered the most holy place on your behalf. When He ascended to heaven after His resurrection, He presented His blood to the Father and sat down at God's right hand. Because He is there representing you, you are positionally there with Him. You have been raised up together with Christ and seated together with Him in heavenly places. This is where David's tabernacle becomes significant. When David brought the ark of the covenant back to Israel, he did something revolutionary: he opened it for all Israel to see, breaking the old pattern. This foreshadowed the present age where the dividing wall between the holy place and the most holy place has been removed for believers. You now have direct access to both simultaneously. **Why This Matters for Your Daily Life** You must consciously engage with this reality. In the holy place, you feed on the showbread—the spiritual truths and doctrines of Christ that nourish your understanding. In the most holy place, you commune directly with the Father, beholding His face, fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit, and drinking in His presence. This isn't optional for spiritual growth—it's essential. You cannot be transformed outside of this conscious participation. The purpose of functioning in these dimensions while you're still on earth is so you can be changed, perfected, and conformed into the exact image of Christ. As you behold Him with an unveiled face, you are metamorphosed from glory to glory into His likeness. **The Race and the Measurement** There's a specific goal you're running toward. Scripture speaks of reaching "the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ"—a divine standard that determines your position in eternity. In the book of Revelation, an angel measures the New Jerusalem, which is actually the bride of Christ—believers who have been perfected. The measurement taken is described as "the measure of a man, that is, of an angel." This reveals something profound: through this process of transformation, you are being changed into something beyond ordinary humanity. Scripture says that in the day of testing and persecution, even the weak among God's people will become like David, and those who are already strong will be like God, like the angel of the Lord. You are being prepared to function not merely as a human being but as one who bears the complete image and nature of Christ—faultless, perfected, reflecting His glory. **Living From This Reality Now** Stop living as though you're still in the outer court, constantly battling with sin-consciousness and repeated repentance. You've been delivered from that realm. Yes, you deal with sin when it arises, but your identity is not found in your struggle—it's found in your position in Christ. You are already dead to sin and alive to God. Reckon this to yourself: account it, calculate it, establish it in your thinking. When challenges come—sickness, attacks, fears—don't respond from a place of spiritual inferiority. You have already tasted death in Christ. He died once for all, and so have you. Death no longer has dominion. Sin no longer has dominion. You possess eternal life—not as a future promise only, but as a present reality working in you now through the Spirit. **Your Eternal Inheritance** What you acquire during your time on earth—not material possessions, but spiritual maturity and Christ-likeness—determines your position in the world to come. That eternal city, the New Jerusalem, is not a place of endless worship services alone. It's the dwelling place of God among His people who have been perfected and who function in the enterprise of God throughout eternity. Only those who reach that divine measurement will inhabit the innermost places of that city. This is why you cannot afford to be passive or distracted. Pursue this maturity with intensity. Labor in fellowship with God. Let the Holy Spirit, who is your teacher and comforter, guide you into all truth. He works within you, cultivating resurrection power, revealing Christ, and transforming you from the inside out. You are not merely a forgiven sinner hoping to make it to heaven someday. You are a child of God, positioned in the most holy place, being perfected into the image of Christ, destined to reflect His glory as one who is like God Himself. This is your heritage, your calling, and your race. Run it with understanding, boldness, and unwavering faith. Zoom every weekday : http://www.caveadullam.org/zoom

Today we return to our Collide series with the final sermon "Holy of Holies."  This refers to the central room of the tabernacle.  Not even all the priests could enter here; this room was reserved only for the high priest, and even he could only enter once per year.  Being in this room meant being directly in the presence of God.  But now, WE have access to be in God's presence, because of Jesus' sacrifice -- how?  Through praise.  

Jesus goes through the veil to the Ultimate Holy of Holies. This is what Yom Kippur points to.

By Michael Helwig - The Day of Atonement included more than just a procedure for the High Priest to consider while serving. We can go before God blameless in our approach understanding fully the blood of Christ.

By John Freeman - The Holy of Holies was a cube shaped room in the Tabernacle in the wilderness, and later in the Temples in Jerusalem. It was the inner room of the Holy Place. To get into it, one would have to enter the Tabernacle courtyard, pass the bronze altar, the bronze laver, enter the holy place, pass the

All Temples give God's blueprint for us as His ultimate Temples. Man fell into sin & lost God's Presence, but He's restoring us to be His Temples – He'll dwell within us & shine out of us forever. All the different Temples encode different aspects of His ultimate Temple, each providing a piece of the puzzle. We get the whole picture by putting together the revelation from them all. (1) Our SPIRIT = HOLY of HOLIES, (2) our SOUL = HOLY PLACE, (3) our BODY = OUTER COURT. We're made with His THRONE in our SPIRIT to live under His authority. When we receive Christ & He's enthroned within us, we discover our true identity, ability & personality, for His Spirit of grace flows from His throne to fill & transform our souls & empower us to do His will & be fruitful. Christ is the perfect human Temple; God was enthroned in His spirit and His Spirit filled His soul & flowed out of Him. But we were born spiritually dead, so His Spirit did not indwell us. Christ came to make us into true Temples, like Him. So, He died as our SIN OFFERING to take away our sins, and as our BURNT OFFERING to give us His perfect righteousness. Mercy Seat = ‘Place of Propitiation' where God's righteous judgment is fully satisfied by the Blood. He sees the Blood & declares us forgiven, so He's now free to bless us. Once the blood was sprinkled on the mercy seat & accepted by God, Israel came under mercy for another year. But she had to repeat this ritual every year signifying man's sin wasn't yet put away (Heb 10:1-4). Christ accomplished this (Heb 10:5-10). So, Tabernacle rituals pictured what Christ would accomplish in establishing the New Covenant in His Blood in the Heavenly Temple, and activating it in His redeemed human Temples (Heb 9:7-12). As the High Priest, He offered Himself as the final Sacrifice and took His Blood into the heavenly Holy of Holies, and sprinkled it on God's Throne, the Mercy Seat, as full payment for our sin & every blessing of grace (Heb 4:16). His Blood in Heaven ever speaks on our behalf, and is the basis for the everlasting New Covenant (Heb 12:22-24). Having done this, He sat down to signify His finished work, and entered into His work as Mediator of the New Covenant for His people (Heb 1:3, 10:11-12, 9:23-26). The Heavenly Temple is an image of God's ultimate Temple (Man), so when we receive Christ, He also sprinkles us with His Blood & sanctifies us to Himself (1Pet 1:2, Heb 9:13-14). By His Spirit, He entered our holy of holies, and applied His Blood to our spirit, cleansing it from all sin & sanctifying it to Himself, making it a perfect new creation, and then sits enthroned there by His indwelling Spirit, to mediate the new covenant in our lives. This happened at our New Birth. He activated the New Covenant in us, so we're now under grace. We became a functioning Temple. Having sprinkled & cleansed us with His Blood (Heb 9:13-14), He now brings us into our inheritance (v15). It's a Throne of Grace, for the Lamb's Blood has been accepted by God on our behalf, and He sits at God's right hand dispensing His River of Grace to us (Rev 22:1-2). This also pictures us as Temples, with Christ enthroned as Lord in our spirit, releasing His river of grace from His throne in our spirit, flowing down into our heart & life. The trees = thoughts & emotions in our soul. As we trust in Christ who lives in us, and submit to His Lordship, we receive His river of blessing into our hearts. When God entered the Tabernacle, He sat in His glory, enthroned on the Mercy Seat above the Ark of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies, and there He met with Moses & spoke with him (Ex 25:21-22). Likewise, He sits on the throne in our spirit, His base of operation in us. 3 items in the HOLY PLACE (Heb 9:1-4) = our SOUL: *(1) MENORAH = our MIND, illuminated by the oil of His Spirit. *(2) TABLE of SHOWBREAD (‘the Bread of the Presence') = our EMOTIONS, kept ever fresh from God's Presence, shining from the Holy of Holies. *(3) The ALTAR of INCENSE next to the Holy of Holies = our HEART or WILL, at the deepest part of our soul, called the Golden Censer (‘the Place of Incense') in Heb 9:4, where it's described as belonging to the holy of holies. Thus, our HEART is the junction & connection between our SPIRIT & SOUL, receiving God's life from the spirit, so that it flows into our soul (Heb 4:12, John 7:38). By God's design, the heart should be under the spirit's control, so a worshipping heart is necessary to receive God's grace into our souls. As we submit our hearts into God's Hand (the Holy Spirit), He can guide & empower us (Prov 21:1). To reign in life, put our heart into His Hand (His Spirit), who manifests in us as rivers of living water. In the Holy of Holies was the Ark of the Covenant containing 3 items, hidden under the Throne (under His control) = 3 aspects of God's grace, He wants to release into our soul by His Spirit: (1) the Tablets of the Covenant, (2) Aaron's Almond Rod that budded, and (3) the Golden Pot of Manna (Heb 9:3-5)

All Temples give God's blueprint for us as His ultimate Temples. Man fell into sin & lost God's Presence, but He's restoring us to be His Temples – He'll dwell within us & shine out of us forever. All the different Temples encode different aspects of His ultimate Temple, each providing a piece of the puzzle. We get the whole picture by putting together the revelation from them all. (1) Our SPIRIT = HOLY of HOLIES, (2) our SOUL = HOLY PLACE, (3) our BODY = OUTER COURT. We're made with His THRONE in our SPIRIT to live under His authority. When we receive Christ & He's enthroned within us, we discover our true identity, ability & personality, for His Spirit of grace flows from His throne to fill & transform our souls & empower us to do His will & be fruitful. Christ is the perfect human Temple; God was enthroned in His spirit and His Spirit filled His soul & flowed out of Him. But we were born spiritually dead, so His Spirit did not indwell us. Christ came to make us into true Temples, like Him. So, He died as our SIN OFFERING to take away our sins, and as our BURNT OFFERING to give us His perfect righteousness. Mercy Seat = ‘Place of Propitiation' where God's righteous judgment is fully satisfied by the Blood. He sees the Blood & declares us forgiven, so He's now free to bless us. Once the blood was sprinkled on the mercy seat & accepted by God, Israel came under mercy for another year. But she had to repeat this ritual every year signifying man's sin wasn't yet put away (Heb 10:1-4). Christ accomplished this (Heb 10:5-10). So, Tabernacle rituals pictured what Christ would accomplish in establishing the New Covenant in His Blood in the Heavenly Temple, and activating it in His redeemed human Temples (Heb 9:7-12). As the High Priest, He offered Himself as the final Sacrifice and took His Blood into the heavenly Holy of Holies, and sprinkled it on God's Throne, the Mercy Seat, as full payment for our sin & every blessing of grace (Heb 4:16). His Blood in Heaven ever speaks on our behalf, and is the basis for the everlasting New Covenant (Heb 12:22-24). Having done this, He sat down to signify His finished work, and entered into His work as Mediator of the New Covenant for His people (Heb 1:3, 10:11-12, 9:23-26). The Heavenly Temple is an image of God's ultimate Temple (Man), so when we receive Christ, He also sprinkles us with His Blood & sanctifies us to Himself (1Pet 1:2, Heb 9:13-14). By His Spirit, He entered our holy of holies, and applied His Blood to our spirit, cleansing it from all sin & sanctifying it to Himself, making it a perfect new creation, and then sits enthroned there by His indwelling Spirit, to mediate the new covenant in our lives. This happened at our New Birth. He activated the New Covenant in us, so we're now under grace. We became a functioning Temple. Having sprinkled & cleansed us with His Blood (Heb 9:13-14), He now brings us into our inheritance (v15). It's a Throne of Grace, for the Lamb's Blood has been accepted by God on our behalf, and He sits at God's right hand dispensing His River of Grace to us (Rev 22:1-2). This also pictures us as Temples, with Christ enthroned as Lord in our spirit, releasing His river of grace from His throne in our spirit, flowing down into our heart & life. The trees = thoughts & emotions in our soul. As we trust in Christ who lives in us, and submit to His Lordship, we receive His river of blessing into our hearts. When God entered the Tabernacle, He sat in His glory, enthroned on the Mercy Seat above the Ark of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies, and there He met with Moses & spoke with him (Ex 25:21-22).

God's rest is not about inactivity but the completion of His purpose and the establishment of His reign. The Tabernacle in the wilderness served as God's dwelling place among the Israelites, guiding their journey with His presence visible as a cloud by day and fire by night. Moses refused to move without God's presence, understanding that true rest comes from alignment with God's direction. Today, many Christians experience burnout because they've removed themselves from God's rest, trying to accomplish things in their own strength rather than making God the center of their lives. As living temples of God's Spirit, we are called to recenter our lives around His presence.God's rest and God's reign cannot be separated - they are synonymous. Where God rests, He also rules.Biblical rest is not passive inactivity but the seat of authority and the command center from which God directs victory.The Tabernacle shows us that God desires to be at the center of our lives, with everything else arranged around His presence.Burnout often happens not because we work too hard, but because we've stepped outside of God's rest and try to live under our own authority.Wherever God rests, His people advance - our victories flow from Christ enthroned in our hearts.Support the show

Today's Scripture:  John 17We all have a place. We each play a part as Jesus the High Priest and God the Father build the bigger picture with us, through us, by his Holy Spirit.

Derek Walker explores the significance of Temples, focusing on the first 3 Temples on the earthly Mount Zion, pointing out the connections between the heavenly and earthly Temples. After God moved into the Tabernacle, He promised He would lead them to a holy Mountain of His choosing where His Sanctuary would be established. God had already set apart Mount Moriah, later called Mount Zion, when Abraham offered up Isaac on Mount Moriah (Genesis 22) and God promised that He would offer up His Son in that place (v8,14). From that time Mt. Moriah was God's ordained place of Sacrifice. Later David establish his capital in Jerusalem, and God revealed to him the location and plans for the Temple, especially the Holy of Holies, and the Altar (on Ornan's threshing floor) on Mount Moriah, to the north and above the City of David (1Chronicles 21-22). Later Solomon build the Temple there (2Chronicles 23:1) and it was filled with God's glory at its Dedication. It was destroyed by the Babylonians 432 years later because of Israel's idolatry, and rebuilt 70 years later in the same place as the 2nd Temple, which was later beautified by Herod the Great. This was the Temple in the time of Jesus, but was destroyed by the Romans in AD 70, because of Israel's rejection of Christ. There will also be a 3rd Temple of God on Mount Zion in the future (the Tribulation Temple), which God will use as a final outreach to Israel as well as the world, especially through the 2 witnesses. After 3.5 years the antichrist will desecrate it with the Abomination of Desolation (Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, 2Thessalonians 2, Revelation 11). There will also be a 4th Temple on Mount Zion in the Millennium (Isaiah 2:1-4, Ezekiel 40-48).

From Genesis 1-2 we learn we were created for the presence of God. Therein is our joy, purpose, life. There is not something else. There is not a second and a third thing. To be in and enjoy a right relationship with God is life and life eternal. But Genesis 3, we sinned. Sin makes us entirely not like God and His presence, His heaven. It makes us a life in rebellion. Sin is not just rules we broke, but nature of unholy rebellion. How can the very unholy come into the Holy? When you hear David say, 'Lord,' don’t hear a title or a salutation. Hear a cry from the depths of his soul. Who, my Lord, can dwell with you? Who can enjoy intimacy with their Creator? And then we get an answer, ten actually. Ten answers, character qualities, actions that answer who can live with God.

What was inside the Holy of Holies?Did Solomon make adjustments to the Ark of the Covenant?What was inside the Ark of the Covenant?

When Christ Ascended to the Father, he brought humanity within Himself before the Father. The writer of Hebrews tells us that, there, He becomes our Great High Priest eternally. To understand Christ as our Great High Priest, we must understand the role of the High Priest in the Old Covenant once a year on the prescribed feast of the Day of Atonement in Leviticus 16. Christ our God eternally stands before the Father with the sacrifice of His own blood shed pleading with the Father that we receive the mercy of God and the covering of our sins.

We see that God frequently calls people into a unique service. We see that, as we have the last few weeks, in regard to the tribe of Levy, we see that in regard to the household of Aaron, and God, even to this day, is calling people in a unique way to serve Him and to participate with his will. And we need to remember that, that if we are His servants, we are going to be committed to his will and not ours.

Fr. Mike also emphasizes the reality of God's judgment, the resurrection of the dead, and how Christ's sacrifice is presented to God in the heavenly sanctuary once and for all. Today we read Revelation 18-20, Hebrews 9-10, and Proverbs 31:26-29. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
