Exodus 35:1 says, And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the LORD hath commanded, that ye should do them.  Moses gathered all the people of Israel together to share with them God's word.  When we as follower of Christ gather together today, it should be to share God's word.  At times, when we gather to worship we get distracted by the things of this world.  We should not go away feeling that we have been entertained, but should go away feeling that we have been drawn closer to God.  Verse two states, Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.  Moses told the people the law of the sabbath, and that those who failed to keep it would be put to death.  God was and is serious about setting aside time to rest from the cares of this world and to worship Him.  We need to be just as serious about the Lord's Day, our sabbath, today.  Verse three adds, Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.  The people of Israel were not to even build a fire on the sabbath, as this would be seen as work.  We today can indeed worship God anywhere, and we can also gather in His name and not really worship Him, but I believe that God expects us set aside a day devoted especially to Him.  Verse four declares, And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying,  Having shared God's law concerning the sabbath, Moses moved on to the next law.  We cannot just focus on a part of God's law, but must keep it all, not for salvation, because that is a free gift through our faith in Christ, but to show that we are indeed obedient to God.  Though we have great freedom through Christ, we are still simply servants of God.  We do not make the rules, or laws, but God does.  Verse five says, Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and brass,   Moses said that they were to bring an offering to God of gold, silver and brass, and that they were to do this with a willing heart.  We today are still called to give an offering to God with a willing heart.  I believe that when we give with a willing heart that we won't be concerned about what the minimum that we can give to God will be.  We must acknowledge that it all belongs to God.  Verse six states, And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair,  Then verse seven adds, And rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins, and shittim wood,   Verse eight adds, And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,  Then verse nine concludes, And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate.  The people were to bring all the things that would be needed to do God's work, just as we should today.  Of course, we are more likely to bring the silver and gold, or money, but we are to give what is necessary to do God's work, and we are to do so with a willing heart.
