Exodus: Life in God's Hands, Part 15 - YHWH the Sojourner (Offering for the Tabernacle)

Unheard of in the ancient world was a deity who travelled with his people. There were gods of particular regions (and within those regions lesser deities who controlled the wind here or the rain there), but a god so tied to his people that he sojourned with them, never. Until YHWH called Israel.

In this episode we examine the depth of the bond between YHWH and Israel and God's commitment to be present. We also look at the first offering taken, one to build God's "tabernacle" - a voluntary act of giving!

The biblical passage referenced in this sermon is:

• Exodus 24:3-25:9 (NRSV)
