The construction of the Tabernacle in Exodus 25–40 is often read as a list of materials and measurements, but at the center of this sacred work are two men—Bezalel and Oholiab—who redefine what it means to be spiritual.


Bezalel, whose name means “in the shadow of God,” was the first person in Scripture described as being filled with the Spirit of God. That filling did not lead him to a platform, but to craftsmanship. Alongside him, Oholiab served as a master artisan and teacher. Together, they transformed divine instruction into physical beauty and created a place for God’s presence to dwell.


This message teaches that competence is a gift from God. Our abilities are not merely secular talents but divine endowments entrusted to us for stewardship and service. Through the Parable of the Talents, the teaching of the Body of Christ, and the call to equip the saints for ministry, we are reminded that every believer has a role in building up the church.


Whether your gifts are visible or behind the scenes, this message encourages you to embrace your specific part, serve faithfully, and offer your skills back to God for His glory.
