• Why and how the Tabernacle was built

Every utensil, sacrifice, and even the design of the various coverings of the Tabernacle were a foreshadowing for what was to come: the building of the temple by Solomon, the incarnation of Christ, the indwelling presence of God in the lives of all true followers of Jesus Christ, and our future home with him in heaven. With Pastor Shawn Barnard as your guide you won't overlook the significance of any part of this grand design.
