Within 40 days of saying, "All that the Lord has spoken we will do," Israel did the unthinkable. They had seen God's power in action, they had seen glimpses of His glory, and they had clear laws and guidelines given to them...but worship went horribly wrong! What happened? Why did the people go from worshipping the living God to dancing before a golden calf? - Pastor Gaylord Tsuei

The ordination of the priests in Exodus 28--29 signify an invitation of God's people into his holy presence. In Exodus 29 we read about how the priests were anointed and ordained in order to draw into God's presence. Today, we are anointed and ordained through the shedding of Jesus' blood on the cross for the atonement of our sin. We are a new creation invited into God's holy presence. - Pastor Arthur Hsu

Being a priest under the Mosaic Law was both an honor and also a heavy responsibility. In the same way that a uniform or certain accessories define and set apart people (i.e. police, delivery person, coach), what God prescribed for the priests to wear was absolutely intentional, and ultimately meaningful. But was the clothing really about the priest? - Pastor Gaylord Tsuei

There are many things in life that move our hearts to respond. The construction of the tabernacle in Exodus 25--27; 30--31 goes beyond mere objects; God commanded Israel to build the tabernacle in order to dwell in their midst. How does God's desire to dwell in us move our hearts to respond to him in faith? - Pastor Arthur Hsu

Israel got the full reading from Moses of what God expected out of His covenant people...and they responded with enthusiasm, unity and commitment! However, this covenant needed to be ratified. Blood was involved. The dotted line had to be signed. The beautiful thing is that God's faithfulness would never waver and His grace would be never ending. - Pastor Gaylord Tsuei

An aspect of worship is being locked in to the task God has set before us. We are laser-focused on his calling, never to entertain what are not a part of his mission. Freed to worship releases us to obey his voice carefully and to do all he calls us to do. - Pastor Arthur Hsu

Freed to Worship - Pastor Gaylord Tsuei

We will begin a new sermon series entitled "Freed to Worship." Looking at selected passages from Exodus 19--40, we will see that Israel's freedom from Egypt led to their WORSHIP of God. God wanted his people to live obedient and consecrated lives in worship to the glory of God. He gave them instructions and guidelines to help them know how to truly worship Him as a holy nation. We also have much we can learn when it comes to worshipping our Almighty God! - Pastor Arthur Hsu

Our fear of facing our problems causes us to flee from them, even though we know that never works. When fear controls us, we are unable to see God as gracious and compassionate. Even though we may flee or disobey, God relentlessly pursues us back into obedience. - Pastor Dominic Chan

Being in Christ Jesus entitles us to be fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God. We are no longer strangers, but God's holy temple with Jesus as our cornerstone.  - Pastor Arthur Hsu

When the holy and gracious God extends a call, His children are to humbly submit and obey. - Pastor William

To be a witness of the gospel is to testify boldly repentance for the forgiveness of sin. This is to be a proclamation to the ends of the earth. - Pastor Arthur Hsu

The Christian's identity as God's temple means Christians carry the physical presence of God with them wherever they go. How are Christians called to express God's presence in their daily lives? God's presence is all that we truly need. (Main idea) - Pastor Dominic Chan
