God's plans reveal who God is!! (Exodus 25-31)

Look on the right for the link to the Summer Quarter Teaching schedule.  

GOD ORDAINS THE TABERNACLE!

So what does ORDAIN mean?

Merriam-Webster define it as "to establish or order by appointment, decree, or law."

God established His dwelling place, the tabernacle, to reveal the truth about who HE is and what are relationship with us is like.

Understand this word ORDAIN and decide how you want to communicate it becauseTHREE of the next SIX lessons deal with God ORDAINING the tabernacle, the sacrificial system and the Day of Atonement.  
God revealed His plans for this building, these laws and this special day to help the people understand who He is, who they are and what God did, was doing and was going to do for them.

Help the children understand the layout of the tabernacle 
BUT EVEN MORE THAN THAT
Help them understand the purpose of the tabernacle.

Three years ago, when we taught this lesson some teachers put a pattern on the classroom floor.
Along with this visual the teachers also gave some specific directions on how the children were to maneuver through the pattern.

Something to remember as you are preparing and sharing...

• Each piece of furniture...
• Show the sinner's need
• Symbolized God's temporary provision
• pointed to a greater fulfillment in the coming Messiah.
