Bezalel the Builder (with apologies to Bob)

Exodus 31:1-18Bezalel the Builder Let's look to our passage in Exodus 31:1-18, where we get God's instructions regarding the builders of the tabernacle. Now, the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “See, I have called by name Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. “I have filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship, to make artistic designs for work in gold, in silver, and in bronze, and in the cutting of stones for settings, and in the carving of wood, that he may work in all kinds of craftsmanship. “And behold, I Myself have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all who are skillful I have…

The Glory of the Lord

The Glory of the LordExodus 24:12-18 If you have your Bibles, please open to Exodus 24, as we continue to examine the book of the covenant, that application of the Ten Commandments to Israel, and the general applications that are universally applicable. The covenant code of laws is found in Exodus 20-23. The Ten Commandments give us the fundamental legal principles for Israel's society, and the book of the covenant applies those fundamental principles to specific contexts of law and society and religion. Exodus 24 is a transitional passage that shows the great covenant confirmation ceremony. Israel has now received the Ten Commandments from God's own mouth, and Israel responds, now confirming for the third time that she would indeed embrace God in covenant, in obedience, and follow…

Favoritism: A Contradiction of Christian Living

James 2:1-13Favoritism: A Contradiction of Christian Living Amen! If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to James chapter two as we continue to work our way through this great book together. We have looked at the first chapter together now, and it has become apparent to us that there are two grand themes that are being dealt with, two great topics that are being explored in the first chapter of James. In verses two through eighteen, James is dealing with the Christian and trials, and he is especially concerned that we would respond to trials christianly, that we would respond to the difficulties, the tragedies of life, the hardships, the obstacles, the trials of life in a biblical way, in a way that glorifies God, and in a way which is helpful to our own selves as we…

A Call to Fulfill the Law Through Love

Romans 13:8-10 A Call to Fulfill the Law Through Love If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Romans chapter 13. We are working our way through a marvelous section of the book of Romans in which Paul spells out the Christian way of life. Last week we considered Paul's directives regarding our conduct in relation to the state and to the government authorities. This week Paul continues on the theme on how Christians are to relate to their general societal relationships.…

The Two Ways of Righteousness

The Two Ways of Righteousness Romans 10:1-13 If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Romans chapter 10. We've been working our way through the book of Romans, and over the last number of weeks, have been in Romans chapter 9. At the end of Romans 9, beginning in verse 30 we really move into a new section of this part of the book of Romans. In Romans 9, 10, and 11 Paul is answering the question, “But what about Israel? Paul, you've said that your gospel of…

Delivered by the Spirit by Death of Christ

The Righteousness of God for Salvation Romans 8:1-4 If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 8. We plunge into a new section of this great book. Romans 6, 7 and 8 we've already said are part of a portion of this book in which Paul is emphasizing how grace reigns in righteousness. It's not that justification isn't on his mind anymore, you’re going to be reminded that it is, as soon as you get to Romans, chapter 8, verse 1. But, it is also that…

The Believer’s Struggle with Sin (1)

The Believer's Struggle with Sin (pt1) Romans 7:13-25 If you have your Bibles, I would invite you to turn with me to Romans 7. As we do so, let me just make three or four introductory remarks about this great passage. Paul, so far in Romans 7, especially in verses 7-12 has made it clear that the believer's attitude towards the law as a gauge of the vitality and reality of his faith and that the believer's view of the law has to have two parts. Every believer has to look at the law in…

What Should We Think of the Law?

What Should We Think of the Law? Romans 7:7-12 If you have your Bibles, I would invite you to take them and turn with me to Romans chapter 7. We begin a new section of this chapter and book today. Paul has been speaking about the implications of justification. We have outlined some of those. In Romans chapter 5, he reminds us that there is peace with God as a result of our free justification in Jesus Christ. We have peace with God and he develops that idea in the first verses of Romans chapter…

The Lord’s Passover

The Lord's PassoverExodus 12:1-13 If you have your Bibles, I would invite you to turn with me to Exodus chapter 12. For the next two weeks, our attention will move away from the plagues, and even the final plague which was introduced last week, and we will focus instead on the institution of the Passover, which is described throughout Exodus 12. The bulk of this great chapter is devoted to this important Old Testament sacrament. Tonight we will be focusing on the first verses of Exodus 12.…
