天父邀请你

1.进入安息（v1-3）
在建造会幕前，这是摩西第3次召聚以色列全会众，强调安息日的重要性。因为神知道，以色列百姓出于天然人的热心，必然会因为建造会幕而牺牲安息日。但，建造会幕的目的，是为了见证神与人同住，让人进入神的安息。建造的人若不肯守安息日，就失去了建造的目的。 安息日的设立，不仅是神对人的恩典与保护，更是人对神顺服的见证。真正的安息不是单单停止工作、躺平，然后什么都不做。安息是让我们重新回归神，在神面前沉淀，与祂亲近。让我们的身心灵、思想意念、价值观等再次更新，并对齐生命树。建立对神的信靠，享受在祂同在中的满足。
2.前来献祭
a）献上礼物（v4-9）
摩西接着将神的吩咐传达给以色列百姓。凡愿意的都可以来向耶和华献上礼物。这里记载建造会幕需要的材料与25章说的是一样的。建造会幕的材料，必须按神所指示的去做。
属灵生命如果建立在人的聪明、虚浮的知识或短暂的情绪上，试炼来临时，信仰便容易崩溃。相反的，若用神所要的材料，真理、祷告、顺服、信心和爱来，并按圣灵的引导，在敬虔上认真操练，即使经历风暴，也能坚定站立，荣神益人。
b）恩赐才干（v10-19）
师母每次都说，没有人就没有事工。的确，属灵建造的基础是奉献，不仅是物质的奉献，也包括恩赐才干的奉献。
神吩咐以色列人建造会幕，但这不仅仅是关于金银财物的捐献，更是关于人们如何运用神所赐的恩赐、智慧、技能和才干来完成神的工作。
神在邀请我们摆上恩赐、才干、甚至生命，让祂来使用，来建立祂的国度。你愿意吗？
1.甘心乐意的献上（v21-24，29）
这段经文里3次（v21，22，29）提到以色列百姓心里受感动，无论男女都甘心乐意地献上各样材料。
以色列百姓经过了属灵生命试炼的彻底失败和神赦免的浩大恩典后，终于被神炼净到能甘心乐意地把看得见的贵重美物，奉献给那看不见的神。他们宁愿放弃自己所喜悦的，也要得着神的喜悦。这是生命的献上。
感恩GK弟兄姐妹在甘心乐意的奉献上都很积极。20架平板电脑，却筹到了40架。此外，在社区祝福和探访行动上，弟兄姐妹也摆上自己的恩赐和时间，盼望将神的爱传递给有需要的人。
2.各尽其职的摆上（v25-29）
V25-29，不同的人贡献和发挥不同的恩赐和才干。妇女亲手纺线，纺山羊毛，众官长把红玛瑙和别样的宝石都拿了来；全体以色列百姓都各尽其职的摆上，做耶和华藉摩西所吩咐的一切工。这是多么美的顺服和合一。
教会的建造不仅仅依赖金钱的奉献，更需要弟兄姐妹愿意奉献自己的所能，才干和恩赐、时间等，让神使用，一同建立基督的身体。
神GK再次建殿。我们有哪些资源、恩赐、才干，是可以献上给神用的呢？我们是参与在其中吗？还是只是旁观者呢？
当以色列百姓甘心乐意的献上礼物、恩赐才干时， 神透过摩西呼召比撒列和亚何利亚伯，亲自拣选并赐下圣灵的充满，使他们能有智慧、聪明和各样技能。
当人调整自己与神的关系，将自己和财宝甘心乐意的献上，神就会开始运行，建立团队来成就祂的计划。
GK要扩张，建更大的殿。我们预备好了吗？我们的生命是否常常安息在神的里面，付代价来经营神的同在吗？我们预备好要为建殿的工程来奉献吗？不止金钱的奉献，而是奉献自己交托于神。
1. 进入安息，才能有力量献上礼物和自己
2. 甘心乐意地献上，无论是财物、才干还是时间
3. 渴慕圣灵充满，使我们不仅能做工，也能教导他人
Exodus Chapter 34: Starting Afresh
The Heavenly Father’s Invitation
Speaker: Ps Deborah
Date: March 27, 2025
1. Enter His Rest (v1-3)
Before the construction of the Tabernacle, this is the third time Moses gathered the whole congregation of Israel, emphasizing the importance of the Sabbath. God knew that in their natural zeal, the Israelites might sacrifice the Sabbath in order to build the Tabernacle. However, the purpose of building the Tabernacle was to testify that God dwells among His people, so that they may enter into His rest. If the builders refused to keep the Sabbath, they would miss the very purpose of the Tabernacle.
The establishment of the Sabbath is not only God’s grace and protection for His people but also a testimony of their obedience to God. True rest is not merely about stopping work or lying idle. Rest is about returning to God, being still before Him, drawing near to Him—allowing our body, soul, and spirit, our thoughts and values to be renewed and aligned with the Tree of Life. It is about building trust in God and enjoying satisfaction in His presence.
2. Bring an Offering (v4-19)
a) Offering of Gifts (v4-9)
Moses then conveyed God’s command to the Israelites: Whoever is willing, let them bring an offering to the Lord. The materials listed here are the same as those in chapter 25. The materials for building the Tabernacle had to be gathered according to God’s instructions.
If one‘s spiritual life is built on human wisdom, shallow knowledge, or fleeting emotions, when trials come, that faith will easily collapse. On the contrary, if one builds upon the materials God desires—truth, prayer, obedience, faith, and love—under the leading of the Holy Spirit and with godliness, then even in storms, they will stand firm, glorifying God and benefiting others.
b) Offering of Skills and Gifts (v10-19)
Our pastor‘s wife often says, “Without people, there is no ministry.” Indeed, the foundation of spiritual building is dedication—not only material offerings but also the offering of one’s gifts and talents.
God commanded the Israelites to build the Tabernacle, but it was not just about donating gold and silver; it was about how people used the gifts, wisdom, skills, and talents God gave them to accomplish His work.
God is inviting us to offer up our gifts, talents, and even our lives for His use, to build His Kingdom. Are you willing?
1. Willing and Cheerful Offering (v21-24, 29)
In this passage, it is mentioned three times (v21, 22, 29) that the hearts of the Israelites were stirred, and both men and women willingly brought offerings of various materials.
After experiencing the utter failure of their spiritual trials and the great grace of God‘s forgiveness, the Israelites were refined to the point that they could willingly offer precious materials they could see to the unseen God. They were willing to give up what pleased them in order to gain God’s pleasure. This is a true offering of life.
We are grateful that GK brothers and sisters have been active in offering willingly. For instance, though the initial target was 20 tablets, 40 were eventually raised. Moreover, in blessing the community and visitation efforts, brothers and sisters offered their talents and time, hoping to pass on God‘s love to those in need.
2. Each One Contributing Their Part (v25-29)
In verses 25-29, different people contributed and used different gifts and talents. The women spun yarn and goat‘s hair; the leaders brought onyx stones and other precious gems. All the Israelites contributed according to their abilities to complete the work commanded by the Lord through Moses. What beautiful obedience and unity!
The building of the church does not depend only on financial giving; it requires brothers and sisters who are willing to offer their abilities, talents, and time for God‘s use, building up the body of Christ together.
As God leads GK to expand and build a larger sanctuary, what resources, talents, and skills can we offer to God? Are we participants, or merely bystanders?
When the Israelites willingly offered their gifts, skills, and talents, God called Bezalel and Aholiab through Moses. He personally chose them and filled them with the Holy Spirit, giving them wisdom, understanding, and skill.
When we realign ourselves with God, willingly offering ourselves and our treasures, God will move and raise up teams to fulfill His plans.
GK is about to expand and build a larger church. Are we prepared? Are our lives resting in God, willing to pay the price to dwell in His presence? Are we ready to dedicate ourselves to the work of building—not only through money but by entrusting ourselves to God?
1. Enter God‘s rest — so that we may have the strength to offer our gifts and ourselves.
2. Willing and cheerful offering — whether material, talent, or time.
3. Desire to be filled with the Holy Spirit — so that we can not only work but also teach and build others.
