The Fragrance of Heaven: What Your Life Smells Like : Exodus Series – Rahel Gungadoo

What if the way you live your life had a smell? Not cologne. Not perfume. A fragrance that tells everyone around you exactly who you've been spending time with. This message is for anyone who has ever called themselves a Christian but wondered whether their life actually reflects it — or for anyone searching for something deeper than success, money, or status can offer. If you've ever felt the gap between what you believe and who you're becoming, this sermon is for you. In this sermon, you will discover: The Altar of Incense: Why God placed fragrance at the very centre of Israel's worship — and what it means for us today Three States of Being: The Israelite framework of unclean, clean, and holy — and which one God is calling you toward Holy Nation: Why God didn't just want a clean people — he wanted a people who would reflect his character to the world The Anointing Oil and Incense: How proximity to God literally changed how the priests smelled — and how the same principle applies to your life The Fragrance Test: A challenge to examine your character, your habits, and whether your devotion to God is in word only or lived out daily If you've been feeling spiritually distant, or if you want to understand what it means to draw nearer to God, this message will show you that closeness to God changes everything — including what you leave behind in every room you walk into. 📖 Key Bible Verses: Exodus 30:1, 6 (Instructions for the altar of incense and its placement before the ark) Exodus 30:10 (Annual purification of the altar — holiness and the blood offering) Exodus 30:17–20 (The bronze wash basin — cleanliness as a requirement for God's presence) Exodus 30:26–31 (The sacred anointing oil — consecrating the tabernacle and the priests) Exodus 30:34–37 (The holy incense recipe — most holy, closest to God's presence) Exodus 19 (God's covenant with Israel — "you will be my holy nation") 📡 Follow us on social media Website: https://lilydale.church Facebook:   / lilydale.church   Instagram:   / lilydale.church   ⏳ Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction: The cologne commercial 2:36 - So what was the ad actually selling? 4:27 - Exodus and the question of identity 5:17 - The altar of incense (Exodus 30) 7:33 - What does it mean to be holy? 11:10 - The danger of God's presence — and why it's actually good news 13:18 - Three states of being: unclean, clean, and holy 17:39 - The anointing oil, the incense, and proximity to God 23:35 - What do YOU smell like? 26:11 - The billionaires who don't have peace (and the Christians who do) #Christianity #Exodus #Holiness #Faith #SermonOfTheWeek #BibleStudy #ChristianLiving #ChurchOnline #AdventistChurch #GodsPresence
