Shadow & Substance:
Christ in the Tabernacle

Discovering Jesus in the shadows and symbols of God’s dwelling place

Where Heaven Met Earth

The Tabernacle wasn’t just a tent in the wilderness. It was God’s blueprint for how sinners could approach a holy God. And every detail—from the bronze altar to the golden lampstand—pointed forward to Jesus Christ. Join us as we walk through the Tabernacle and discover how every element finds its fulfillment in the person and work of our Savior.

Week 1 • March 1

The Only Way In

The outer gate and court boundary—one entrance. Jesus said, “I am the door.” There’s only one way to approach God.

Key Texts

Exodus 27:9–19; 26:36–37
John 10:7–9; 14:6
Ephesians 2:18

Week 2 • March 8

Blood and Water

The bronze altar of sacrifice and the basin of cleansing. Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness. Without washing, there is no service.

Key Texts

Exodus 27:1–8; 30:17–21
Leviticus 1:1–9
John 1:29; Hebrews 9:22; 10:1–10
Titus 3:5

Week 3 • March 15

The Table Is Set

Inside the Holy Place: the showbread, the lampstand, and the altar of incense. Jesus is the bread of life, the light of the world, and our great intercessor.

Key Texts

Exodus 25:23–40; 30:1–10
Leviticus 24:1–9
John 6:35; 8:12
Hebrews 7:25

Week 4 • March 22

The Man Who Goes In

The high priest in his garments and consecration. Once a year, one man entered with blood not his own. Jesus is our great high priest.

Key Texts

Exodus 28:1–4, 29–38; 29:1–9, 35–46
Leviticus 8; 16:1–19
Hebrews 4:14–16; 7:26–27; 9:6–14

Week 5 • March 29 (Palm Sunday)

Between the Cherubim

The veil, the ark, and the mercy seat. The moment the curtain ripped from top to bottom, the way to God was opened forever.

Key Texts

Exodus 25:10–22; 26:31–35
Leviticus 16:1–19, 29–34
Matthew 27:50–51; John 20:11–12
Romans 3:21–26
