Week 2 — When God Gives You the Blueprint
Primary Text (NLT)
Exodus 25:9
Sermon Summary
God never calls His people to build blindly. When Moses was instructed to construct the Tabernacle, God gave precise direction. The success of the structure was tied to obedience, not creativity. God’s presence followed God’s pattern.
This sermon reminded the church that rebuilding according to preference leads to frustration, but rebuilding according to God’s instruction leads to blessing. God’s blueprint protects both the work and the worker.
Three Main Points:
1. God never initiates a rebuild without instruction.
God’s vision always comes with direction. Our responsibility is obedience.
2. Obedience matters more than creativity.
Innovation is valuable, but it must submit to God’s design.
3. God’s presence follows God’s pattern.
The Tabernacle was filled with glory because it was built according to God’s word.
Key Thoughts to Remember:
What God initiates, He defines. The blueprint prevents burnout. God blesses alignment more than speed. Obedience creates room for God’s presence.
Memorable Anecdote:
The Tabernacle worked because Moses followed the pattern, not his preference.
Reflection Prompts:
Where might God be calling you to slow down and listen? Are you building based on instruction or assumption? What would obedience look like this week?
Closing Reinforcement:
Rebuilding goes further when we follow God’s design instead of our own ideas.
