God Dwelling With Man

This 1999 series, God Dwelling with Man, delivered at the Southwest Christadelphian Bible School by Brother Tech Morgan, explores one of the Bible’s greatest themes: God’s desire to live in fellowship with His people. From Eden to the wilderness tabernacle, from Solomon’s temple to the body of Christ, the story unfolds of a God who seeks not only to dwell among His people, but within them. Each class carefully traces the progression of this purpose, showing both its practical lessons for daily discipleship and its ultimate fulfillment when God’s glory fills the earth.

Class 1 – God in the Beginning

The opening class sets the stage in Eden, where God dwelt with Adam and Eve, and shows how His purpose was always to expand that fellowship. The beginnings of worship and sacrifice are considered as patterns of how God would later meet with His people in the tabernacle and temple.

Class 2 – A Place for His Name

This study follows Israel’s journey into the land and David’s deep longing to find a permanent dwelling place for God. The choice of Jerusalem is explored, with its rich historical and spiritual significance as the city where God chose to put His name.

Class 3 – A House for My Name

Here the focus turns to the tabernacle and temple, where God’s glory was revealed above the mercy seat. Alongside the rituals of approach stood the reminder that God desired heart-to-heart communion, not outward form alone. The lessons of Moses’ personal tent of meeting highlight this longing for closeness.

Class 4 – The Word Became Flesh

This class moves into the days of Solomon and the prophets, showing how the temple became both a place of glory and, later, a stumbling block when Israel trusted in its stones instead of God Himself. Jeremiah and Ezekiel’s warnings remind us that true dwelling is in humble and contrite hearts.

Class 5 – The Body of Christ

In the New Testament, the dwelling of God is seen in Christ and his body. Believers, both Jew and Gentile, are invited into covenant relationship and become the temple of the living God. The ecclesia is portrayed as a spiritual house where God’s presence is revealed, calling for unity, holiness, and service.

Class 6 – Behold the Tabernacle of God

The series concludes with the vision of Revelation: God dwelling forever with His people. No longer in tents or temples made with hands, but in the redeemed community, where every tear is wiped away and God’s glory fills all in all. This final study inspires hope and faithfulness as we look forward to that day.
