Our icebreaker started off interestingly. It was a game that required speed and fast moving fingers and hands. Enjoy the pictures.
Deswyn giving a talk about this flower...
and unexpectedly, everyone's paying attention to him.
the human train
everyone laughing at something invisible
Melissa wondering what's going on at the back
at the back: heads, tails...
Melissa: I'll take this flower and hit you first! *evil laugh*
Ephraim: Well, i can always use my brute force *clenched fist*
the showdown between the modern adam and eve!
and.... the forbidden fruit (flower)
After our praise and worship, it was time to feed our spiritual man. Today’s speaker is none other than Aunty Felicia. Her message was a continuation about the tabernacle bible study. It was entitled “The Golden Altar of Incense” (Exodus 30:1-10, 34-38; 37:25-29).
- The Altar measured 1 cubit (1.5 feet) square and 2 cubits (3 feet) high.
- 2 poles made of acacia wood were put through 2 gold rings on opposite sides for transporting purposes.
- It was made of acacia wood and overlaid with pure gold = the two-fold nature of Jesus (fully man and God).
- There is a golden crown around the top = symbolizes Jesus crowned with glory and honor. (Hebrews 2:9)
- 4 horns protruded from the 4 corners = signifies God’s power and authority

- 4 horns protruded from the 4 corners = signifies God’s power and authority
- The horns were sprinkled with blood to cleanse the sins of the Israelites = power of Jesus’ blood when we confess our sins and ask for forgiveness (1 John 1:9)
- The Golden Altar was just outside the Holy of Holies and positioned centrally in front of the veil between the Golden Lamp stand.
- The priest would burn sweet incense on the Golden Altar every morning and evening besides tending to the lamps.

- We can keep burning for Jesus by having a regular life of reading the Bible and praying with the revelation of Jesus Christ.
- The Golden Altar is only used to burn incense which is made of equal amounts of 4 spices (stacte, onycha, galbanum, and frankincense).
- Only he/she who has a pure heart and clean hands (Ps 24:3-4; James 4:8) can come before a holy God.
- The Golden Altar represents Jesus who is our intercessor before God in heaven (Romans 8:34; Heb 7:25) and all of us should be interceding here on earth too (Num 16:41-50).
