The message from Sunday morning, 9/13/20, "Tabernacle: Answer To Eden's Exile" (Genesis 3:23-24; Exodus 25:1-8) by Pastor Joshua M. Wallnofer. This sermon deals with the outcome of the fall of Adam and Eve and their subsequent banishment from the Garden of Eden, and how this theme of exile is answered by God choosing to tabernacle with His people.

N.T. Wright: “Sin and death are so inextricably intertwined in Biblical thinking….Choose the one, and you choose the other. Worship idols, and you’ll go into exile. Obey the serpent’s voice, and you will forfeit the right to the Tree of Life….Exile is to be understood as a kind of corporate national death. Leaving the land is leaving the garden; leaving the ruined Temple means being debarred from the Tree of Life.” (The Day The Revolution Began, 103-104).
