In this last episode on Solomon’s temple, we are going to enter into the Holy of Holies. This is the inner most part of the temple. It is the place where God’s Presence dwells. It is one of the most awe inspiring pictures of the Lord we can understand in Scripture. It gives us a glimpse of what we can look forward to for all of eternity!

God is our Provider. That concept was foreign to every other culture in the world in Biblical times. It is as just as forgiven a concept today. After, we are to be “Self-sufficient”. We live in a time when people look at God as their cosmic “buddy”, and not as He truly is.How He has shown Himself to us in Scripture. The temple is a revelation of God in very specific ways. It tells us as well what it is like to be in HisPresence. On this episode, we are going to explore the Bread of the Presence, the doors going into the Holy of Holies, and the veil. What they tells us about the Lord reveals His grandeur in amazing ways!

There is so much meaning to everything the Lord does. His Word is sop intentional, so precise, that we would know him more. That includes what He tells us about Solomon’s temple and the tabernacle. Those images it continued were important, and brought to mind very specific things to the Jewish mind. On this episode, we are going to explore the Bread of the Presence and the golden lampstands. What we discover is that they were far more than just functional. They are pictures of the greatness of our God!

Why is the temple of the Lord that nice. Stood in Jerusalem so important throughout Scripture? We read about it, and it sounds like it was an incredible place to have seen, but what did it mean to the people of that time? This includes the tabernacle as well. The temple was to be the place where the God of the entire universe would commune with man, His creation. That being the case, it is something we should have some familiarity with. There is a connection to you and I. The temple has many things to tells us about the Lord, and we are going to begin a study that will take us through Solomon’s temple, as well as look at there tabernacle. This is a study that could go on for weeks and weeks, but we are going to take some time to look at a few of the significant images that the temple held. Why are they important to us? How does this minister to us as artists for Christ today? You are going to love all t he Lord has for you in these next few episodes.

The world in which we live is one where people get lost in the shuffle. It is easy to feel alone, ignored, and to think no one cares at all. That is not the heart of Christ for people, and my guest on this episode is driven to encourage others about God’s heart toward them. A powerful medium to communicate these things is the written word. Fiction, in particular, allows an author to write about realities in he real world with a story line that will impact the reader in profound ways. It can encourage, build up and strengthen the reader. It can point them to the ultimate source of Strength, and to the certainty of God’s seeing them, and knowing they are valued.

Art, in any form, is a powerful influence in the world for Christ. There are so many ways the artist can be used of the Lord, and sometimes they are ways we might not expect. My guests on this episode have had a life time of ministry experience. They have been used of the Lord within the church, pastoring and ministering to others in many ways. Today, however, it is through what art provides they are able to touch lives half way around the world in Africa. What the Lord has done through them is truly amazing, and their story will show you God’s ability to work His plan in fresh, exciting ways!

When you know you have a calling in the arts, one thing that you need a lot of is persistence. There are so many things that can discourage you, try to stop your pursuit of what the Lord has given you to do in your life. But, when you have a Christ centered view of your purpose, your perspective is changed. You know there is nothing that can stand in the way of God’s carrying you forward. My guest on this episode demonstrates the power of persistence when you have God moving ahead of you! Contact Information; Instagram; @jerryjordantaos Website: www.jerryjordantaos.com

Before destruction a man’s heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18‬:‭12‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Humility is not a word you hear spoken of much in the world. It tells us that’s we deserve the best, and what we want we need to take. Nothing is more antithetical to Scripture, or more destructive to the life of a man or woman. For the believer, humility is something we struggle to receive from the Lord. It is only in His power that we can be truly humble. It is only by seeing the world as He does that we desire and hunger for it. Humility is so good for us, yet we so often fall short. My guest today will encourage us in our desire for humility. There is so much benefit to live according the the ways of the Lord. Contact Information; Webste; www.briscoe museum.org Phone Number; 210.299.4499

Never let it be said that following Christ isn’t an adventure. In fact, it is the greatest adventure anyone can embark on n many ways. You can be going one direction, and then suddenly Jesus takes you a whole new direction. One you would never have thought of, and yet off you go. It brings you to a world you would not have known any other way, and you see Him work in your life as He never has. My guest on this episode has seen all of this and more as she has followed the lead of the Master.

Our God is so big, so remarkable, that there is just nothing that is impossible for Him. Our world can be filled with darkness, depression, and despair, yet Jesus is there for us the minute we cry out for Him to save us. When He does, all of that becomes past. “Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭ESV‬‬ We can have many twists and turns, ups and downs, and through it all the Lord is working out His plan in ways we could never foresee. My guest on this episode has seen the truth of this passage in her life in real time. The result is that she is a woman that is all in for Christ!
