Friday, September 1, 2017, a mysterious object was uncovered on a Rhode Island beach. "The Day the Beach Stood Still," was the headline in the Providence Journal. The metallic enigma was first discovered in August near popstar Taylor Swift's beachfront mansion. It looked like a giant, twisted metal starfish with eight legs. Questions about it purpose and past abounded. Was it part of a secret military project, a lost piece of oceanographic equipment, a piece of a UFO. There was lots of speculation after a mysterious object was pulled from a Rhode Island beach. Some postulated the plausibility that it was part of a satellite or an acoustic Doppler current profiler. Whatever that is. Others found the humor in the discovery: "It's the Rockefeller Christmas tree stand" and "the plug on the drain to the Atlantic Ocean. I hope it is not the latter. After the excavation, workers loaded the pieces onto a truck and took them to an undisclosed location, presumably for further examination. To this date, no one knows what it is... or even where it is. This morning we are going to talk about the Altar and the Tabernacle as we address Exodus 27. For us believers, we need to understand the history of our faith so we see how it connects to our lives and to what is spoken of in the New Testament. Our spiritual heritage should not be a mystery and leave us wondering about our faith like like the beachcombers of Rhode Island were about their seaside find. So please open your apps or your Bibles to the 27th Chapter of the Book of Exodus as we find the purpose behind the articles of Old Testament worship.
