“The Lord said to Moses, “Take the finest spices: of liquid myrrh 500 shekels, and of sweet-smelling cinnamon…” (vs 22,23)

In this week’s scripture, Moses is given a recipe for the anointing oil—which was to go on items in the tabernacle and Aaron and his sons. When you look at the recipe, you can almost smell it… because all that cinnamon sounds a lot like the smell of Christmas!

But there is this interesting line in vs 32: “It shall not be poured on the body of an ordinary person, and you shall make no other like it in composition.”

Why would God give a recipe for the anointing oil? Why on earth is that important? What does it all mean?

How the end goal of God's plan is to simply be with His people.

We cover what it means to be consecrated - and how God has made the way for us.

(Also starts with a brief testimony)

The ordination of the priests in the tabernacle.

We explore the significance of the priestly garments in Exodus 28 and the responsibility we have as a royal priesthood to represent God. Join us as we reflect on the need for authentic, Christ-centered devotion that goes beyond the surface and impacts our daily lives.

God chooses his priesthood and then instructs how they should dress, “for glory and for beauty” (28:2).

How interesting that God goes through so much effort to instruct what the priests should wear. But why?
