This morning we got to church and the chairs were arranged differently than normal. It turned out that the sermon was on the Israelite camp layout while they were in the desert, and the sanctuary was arranged in the same layout. For something that I've always found rather tedious reading the the Bible, the pastor did a really nice job of making it interesting. Why is it laid out like that? 1) Defense 2) Unity and 3) to remind us that God should always be in the center.
In case you're wondering, we were sitting in the North, under the tribe of Dan. We probably should have sat under the tribe of Benjamin, but we were running a little late and Benjamin was in the front.
