Celebration and Destruction

Celebration and DestructionExodus 12:21-32 If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Exodus, chapter 12 and the 21st verse. This passage implements the Passover as well as records for us the implementation of the tenth plague, and has implications for our understanding, of course, in what's happening in the Lord's Supper in the New Covenant. We've already said that Exodus 12 focuses much of its emphasis on the institution of both the Passover and the feast of unleavened bread. And as we look through Exodus, chapter 12, the first twenty verses we highlighted a number of things. We saw that the priority of God and of His redemption was reflected even in Israel's calendar. The Exodus experience was to mark the beginning of months for Israel. We also saw…

Plunder and Passover

Plunder and PassoverExodus 12:33-51 If you have your Bibles, I would invite you to turn with me to Exodus chapter 12 verse 33. We come tonight to the last night of Israel in Egypt. The commencement of the Exodus and Caleb's words very appropriately set the stage for what we are going to hear. This passage is really a passage in which God recounts his faithfulness to His word, His promises and His predictions. In fact, in God's faithfulness to His word, we're going to find much irony in this passage, things that we wouldn't expect and things which indicate in the most surprising way, the way that God exercised His sovereignty over Egypt. So with that as a word of introduction, let's hear God's holy word in Exodus chapter 12 beginning in verse 33. Exodus 12:33-51 Lord…

Because of What the Lord Did for Me

The Lord's Day Evening September 23, 2001 “Because of What the Lord Did for Me” Exodus 13:1-16 The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Exodus chapter 13. Tonight we begin a twelve part study that will carry us through the grand events of the Exodus itself. Now during the summer we looked at some passages in Exodus 12 that covered the institution of the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. We will revisit that institution of the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the passage we're studying tonight, but Exodus 13 actually inaugurates that period in the history of Israel when God is actually bringing them out of Egypt and on the way across the Red Sea and towards the Promised Land through the wilderness. It's of…

The Bones of Joseph

Exodus 13: 17-22The Bones of Joseph If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Exodus and to the 13 chapter. Tonight we begin the journey out of Egypt. It's an exciting story and even though you are very familiar with it, I hope to kindle something of your excitement and maybe even point out some things that you have missed in the past. But most of all, we need to remember that this is not merely an exciting story of history, it's not even exciting Bible history. This…

The Lord Will Fight For You

Exodus 14: 1-14Saved to Worship If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Exodus chapter 14. Last week we did indeed begin our journey out of Egypt with Israel. It is an exciting story, and I hope to continue to bring to mind some things that you have missed in the past, though this story is very familiar to you. But most of all it's important for us to remember that this is not just exciting history, it's not just exciting Bible history, or history of redemption, it…

The Lord Overthrows the Egyptians

Exodus 14: 15-31The Lord Overthrows the Egyptians If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Exodus 14. We’re in the middle of this chapter. Two weeks ago we began the journey out of Egypt with Israel. It's an exciting story and we've already seen a couple of turns. It begins in Exodus 13 in verse 17 down to verse 22. With great expectation, great excitement the people of God are being led, in God's providential kindness, not by the way of the sea, which would…

The Songs of Moses and Miriam

Exodus 15:1-21 The Songs of Moses and Miriam If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Exodus chapter 15. Verses 1 through 18 of this great chapter record for us the song of Moses and the people of Israel. Verse 21 is ascribed to Miriam and the women folk of Israel who apparently sing an antiphonal response to Moses and the men. Collectively this whole song from verse 1 to 21 is known as the song at the sea. The Shirat ha-Yam or the Shirah to the ancient children of Israel.…

The Test of Marah

Exodus 15:22-27 The Test at Marah If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Exodus chapter 15. When we last left Israel they were singing and dancing at the Red Sea, singing God's praises by the sea, declaring Him to be great. Now, within three days everything has changed. For the mountain top to the valley, seventy-two hours. Here we are in Exodus chapter 15 verses 22 through 27. As the children of Israel make their way to that bitter oasis, that wadi called Marah and…

Manna and Quail

Manna and Quail Exodus 16:1-21 If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Exodus chapter 16. In Exodus 16, we are barely a month out of Egypt and into the wilderness, and already the people have undergone a severe test. There has been a great provision for them by God; there has been a great victory at the sea. The people have already grumbled at the lack of water and they have had it miraculously provided by the Lord. Now, in the passages that we will read tonight, they have…
