The Fifth Plague: Death of Livestock

The Fifth Plague: Death of LivestockExodus 9:1-7 If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Exodus, chapter 9. We have studied the first four plagues now. After tonight we’ll be halfway home. And this is perhaps a good time to pause and review some of the great things that we have seen, and some trends that have already become evident. First of all, as you look at the plagues, you need to remember that the plagues manifest God’s redemptive work of destruction. When He comes about redeeming His people, it means the tearing down of the strongholds of Satan. And the Lord’s work of redemption includes not only purchasing His people at a price, but also destroying the forces that are made against them. And when you reflect upon the drama of redemption itself, part of…

The Third and Forth Plagues: Gnats and Flies

The Third and fourth Plagues: Knats and FliesExodus 8:16-32 If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Exodus, chapter 8, as we continue to work our way through the various plagues of Egypt. We’re going to look at two tonight, both having to do with insects of some sort, the third and the fourth plagues. We’ve seen a number of themes emerge already. The sovereignty of God is very clear throughout this passage. It is clearly fitting as we seethe God of Israel verses the Gods of Egypt, and so far two plagues into this business there is no question who is winning. This is going to be a rout by the time it’s over. You know, it’s sort of like when the Super Bowl gets into the second quarter, and it’s already forty-four to nothing, and it just gets worse from there on…

The Second Plague: Frogs

The Second Plague – FrogsExodus 8:1-15 If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Exodus 8. For the last couple of weeks, we have been looking at this cycle of plague accounts, which begins actually with the encounter in Exodus 7, verses 8 through 13 between Moses and the magicians or sorcerers of Egypt. In that particular encounter in which the staff of God, the rod of God given to Moses swallowed up the serpent stabs of the Egyptian magicians, we actually see a foreshadowing of some of the things to come in the plague stories themselves. And last week, as we looked at Exodus 7, verses 14 through 25 and the account of the first plague, we again saw certain things portended in the very expression of the plague itself. For instance, we wondered about the Nile turning to…

The First Plague: The Nile Turned to Blood

The First Plague — The Nile Turned to Blood Exodus 7:14-15 If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Exodus, Chapter 7. Tonight we're going to be looking at verses 14 through 25, in preparation for that you may allow your eyes to run back to verses 8 through 14 where we were the last time we were together. Exodus, chapter 7, verses 8 through 13 are critical for our understanding of what follows because they provide for us a preview of what's going to happen in the…

God Gave Them Over (1)

Romans 1:24-25 God Gave Them Over – 1 If you have your Bibles, I would invite you to turn with me to Romans chapter 1 as we continue to study through Paul’s letter to the Romans. We have been in Romans chapter 1 for a number of weeks now, and we even began a new section a few weeks ago when Paul introduces the words of Romans 1:18, where he begins a long diatribe. We have already said that from Romans 1:18 all the way to Romans chapter 3, verse 20, the apostle Paul is announcing the bad…

We Know God, But Don’t Glorify Him

Romans 1:21-23 We Know God, But Don't Glorify Him If you have your Bibles, I would invite you to turn with me to Romans chapter 1, verses 21-23. As we continue to work through the first chapter of this great Epistle. Paul announced the theme of the book in verses 16 and 17, and said that the gospel was the power of God to salvation and that in it, the righteousness of God was revealed. And he was truly moved by that reality, that fact. He had experienced the power of the gospel, himself. He…

The Flight to Canaan

Genesis 31:1-21The Flight to Canaan If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Genesis, chapter 31. Last week's study provides the backdrop for the events which will occur here in the first half of Genesis 31. Indeed the whole of Genesis 31. And so as you turn to Genesis 31, you may want to sneak a peek at Genesis 30 and remember some of the things we learned last week. In verses 25 and 26 of Genesis, chapter 30, we learned that Jacob was prepared to leave empty-handed to…

The Establishment of a Covenant People The Promises of…

Genesis 12:1-9 The Promises of God (The Life of Abraham) — 1. The Call of Go If you would look with me at God's word in Genesis, chapter 12. We’re going to attend tonight to verses 1 through 9. We, of course, are beginning the life of Abraham at this juncture. We have seen the preface to this great book set forth in the first eleven chapters, and specifically from chapter 11, verse 27, which begins the book of Terah of which this part of the book of Genesis is a constituent. The book of…

The New World Order (Life after the deluge) Part III:…

Genesis 11:10-32. The New World Order (Life after the deluge) Part III: The Book of Shem If you have your Bibles I’d invite you to turn with me to Genesis, chapter 11. This is the third and last in a short series on a brief transitional section in the book of Genesis. Moses himself begins this section in Genesis, chapter 10 which he opens with the words, “The toledoth of the sons of Noah”. The book of the generations of the sons of Noah. The book of the generations of Shem, Ham…
