Otherwise Pt.3 // Offerings - Tim Jones // Exodus 25:1-9

About this episode

This episode discusses God's desire for relationship over mere worship, as illustrated in Exodus 25 and fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

This sermon from Exodus 25 reveals God’s deep desire not just for worship, but for relationship - His longing to dwell among His people. Through the tabernacle, we see a powerful picture ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who came to “tabernacle” among us and bring us into fullness of life. The message challenges us to move beyond empty religion or duty and instead respond to God’s grace with hearts stirred by love, generosity, and joyful surrender. Because God has given everything for us in Christ, we are invited to offer our time, gifts, resources, and whole lives back to Him - not out of obligation, but as a wholehearted response to the God who first gave all.
