Church Growth!

First Presbyterian Church September 17, 2000 Exodus 1:1-7“Church Growth” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Exodus, chapter 1. Exodus is Moses’ sequel to the epic story of Genesis. When we studied Genesis we said that it provides us with the foundational doctrines of the faith. That is, without an understanding of Genesis, you can’t adequately understand the New Testament. In fact, many of the themes in Genesis are developed in the New Testament itself. In the same way Exodus continues to lay that foundation for the New Testament faith. We’ll see Paul make that statement precisely in just a few moments. Exodus resumes Genesis' account, the story of God’s sovereignty in the world before the patriarchs, the primeval world in…

A New King, who knew not Joseph

Exodus: 1:8-14A New King, Who Knew Not Joseph If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Exodus, chapter 1 as we continue in this great book together. As we said the last time, Exodus is Moses’ sequel to the epic story of Genesis. Exodus resumes Genesis account of God’s sovereignty and His good providence in the lives of the patriarchs. Moses goes out of his way to connect these books. When you see the genealogy, which begins the book of Exodus, it connects us with the story of Jacob. When we look at verse 7 and the reflection on the fact that the sons of Israel were fruitful and increased greatly and multiplied and became exceedingly mighty, it not only connects us with Adam and the creation where that ordinance is given to Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply.…

The Midwives, Who Feared God

The Midwives, Who Feared God Exodus 1:15-22 If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Exodus, chapter 1 again. We’re going to concentrate on the final words of the chapter, beginning in verse 15. I couldn’t help but think as Derek was preaching on Job, chapter 2 on Wednesday night, that the same struggle of Job not knowing what God’s sovereign purposes were in his trial, must have dawned upon at least some of the children in Egypt. Surely, this question crossed their mind. Why would you have sent us to Egypt in the first place? Why would we have faced the attempts of the officials of this land to exterminate us as a people? Why would we undergo slavery, not for one or two or three generations, but for ten generations. Four hundred and thirty years. Why would we…

The Deliverer Delivered (By Women)!

The Deliverer Delivered (By Women)!Exodus 2:1-10 If you have your Bibles, I’ve invite you to turn with me to Exodus 2. You will remember from our study of the last two or three weeks that Pharaoh, in his desire to bring the children of Israel under control, and to make sure that they do not become a threat to join with the anti-Egyptians as allies to conquer the land, has attempted several different plans or plots to make sure that Israel is suppressed. He may have genuinely only desired to…

A Failed Deliverance

A Failed DeliveryExodus 2:11-22 Today we come to Exodus, chapter 2, verse 11. Let’s hear God’s holy word: “Now it came about in those days when Moses had grown up that he went out to his brethren and looked on their hard labors; and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren. And so he looked this way and that, and when he saw there was no one around, he struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. And he went out the next day, and behold two Hebrews were fighting…

God Remembered His Covenant

God Remembered His CovenantExodus 2:23-25 If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Exodus, chapter 2, to the end of the chapter, beginning in verse 23. In Exodus, chapter 2, verses 23 through 25 we continue a story that we’ve been looking at for a number of weeks now. As we have looked at God’s dealings in the book of Exodus we come tonight to a very important passage, a passage that reveals the wise timing of God’s plan. It reveals to us the continuing burden of…

The Burning Bush: Nec tamen Consumebatur

The Burning Bush: Nec tamen ConsumebaturExodus 3:1-12 If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Exodus, chapter 3, as we come to that incident of the burning bush. This is for the second consecutive week a pivotal passage pregnant with meaning in the Exodus story, a section that records the call of Moses into service as the deliverer of God’s people. But before we get to that story, we perhaps needs to remember some of the themes we’ve already seen. Already in Exodus,…

Christian World View – Postmodernism #1

Wednesday Evening August 4, 2004 Exodus 3:10-15 “Christian World View” – Postmodernism (1) The Reverend J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Exodus, chapter three. We’re going to be looking at Postmodernism, which in some ways is not even a worldview, but it is a pervasive influence on the thinking of the world in which you live. We’ll be looking at it for two weeks. Today we’ll look at Postmodernism; next week we’ll look at…

I AM Who I AM

I Am Who I AmExodus 3:13-22 If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Exodus, chapter 3. When last we were together, God had revealed Himself in this manifestation of the burning bush to Moses, and had announced to him His intentions to make him His spokesman to Pharaoh and His leader for Israel. Moses has already met the Lord with one question. Who am I to do this? What qualifications do I have to do this, Lord? Are you sure that you have the right person? And now we will…
