Our community is experiencing a building boom. There is new construction taking place everywhere, and as with any construction project, detailed building blueprints need to be followed completely and exactly. In Exodus 25, God tells Moses about a construction project that He is inviting the people of God to join Him in building - The Tabernacle. He gives detailed instructions that lay out the complete project from start to finish. As your group studies the LifeWay Explore the Bible Study: Equipped, consider how God's instructions point to an even greater construction project - the building of new hearts for those in which the Spirit of God may reside and the role each believer should play in bringing this project to completion.
