In this message, Katy teaches from Exodus 38–39, emphasizing how God’s longing to dwell with His people takes shape through the detailed, communal construction of the tabernacle. Rather than arbitrary instructions, every element—especially the bronze altar and basin—reflects God's mercy, justice, and desire for restored relationship. The altar symbolizes forgiveness through substitutionary atonement, while the basin represents cleansing from the lingering effects of sin. Together, they point forward to Jesus, who offers a permanent and personal reconciliation, not just dwelling among His people but within them by the Holy Spirit. The message invites listeners to re-frame obedience and generosity as relational responses to God’s faithfulness, embracing forgiveness with joy and living as sacred spaces for God’s presence—anticipating the day He dwells fully with His people in a new heaven and earth.
