Exodus 26:1-37Its Curtains If you have your Bibles I would invite you to turn with me to Exodus chapter 26. “O Lord, teach us wonderful things from Your word. Surprise us with the truth of Your word. We ask in Jesus' name. Amen”. Curtains. A chapter on curtains. What does God intend us to learn? Well, in the midst of the recording of these instructions, Moses teaches us at least three things. He first teaches us about God. He second teaches us about His redemptive purposes as they are progressively unfolded. And third, he teaches us about the accomplishment of Christ's redeeming work. You’re saying to me, “I didn't catch that one while you were reading.” So let's look at this great passage together. I. A small, dark, cool and beautiful tent for meeting with God.…

The Wise Counsel of Jethro

Exodus 18: 1-27 The Wise Counsel of Jethro I'd like to invite you to turn with me to Exodus chapter 18. Israel is now all but at the mountain. Last week we came to the final stage on Israel's road to Mt. Sinai as she makes her way through the wilderness to this encounter to God at the Mountain of the Lord. You’ll remember that there have been four crises on the way. There was the lack of water at Marah, then followed by a lack of food, then there was another lack of water experienced at Rephidem, then finally there was an attack by a desert tribe. And we emphasized over and over that they were real crises, there was nothing petty about what Israel was going through. This was not sort of unjustified grumbling that Israel has been tempted to. They were very justified to be…

Revelation of the Divine Name

Revelation of the Divine NameExodus 6:2-9 If you would turn with me in your Bibles to Exodus chapter 6. Last week, we studied Exodus 5:15 through chapter 6, verse 1. And we saw the people of God responding to Moses and Aaron’s announcement of God’s redeeming purposes, initially with belief and with worship, but immediately following this, they experienced affliction. And it is that affliction which sets the stage for the passage that we study tonight. Obedience we said, isn’t always accompanied by immediate success. The key issue in that passage is whom will Israel serve? Even in hardship, whom will Israel serve? The Lord? Or, Pharaoh? Three things stood out to us as we looked at the passage together. First of all, that God’s call to serve him, isn’t always easy. His call to…

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…

Contempt for God’s Kindness

Romans 2:4 Contempt for God's Kindness As you take your Bibles in hand, please turn to Romans, chapter 2, verse 4. As we have worked through Paul’s letter to the Romans, especially beginning in Romans 1:18 to the end of the chapter, we have seen Paul demonstrate two things. First of all the justice of God’s condemnation, the justice of God’s wrath against the world in it’s sinful rebellion. He has demonstrated the justice of that wrath by showing the universality of sin. Sin is…

God Gave Them Over (3)

Romans 1:28-32 God Gave Them Over (3) If you have your Bibles I’d invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 1 as we continue to work our way through the first chapter of this great book. You remember Paul’s argument as we’ve been looking at it the last few weeks. Beginning in Romans 1, 16 and 17 he has set forth in outline his gospel. Beginning in Romans 1:18 and going all the way to Romans 3:20 he explains why his gospel is necessary. Why it is that everyone is in need of the gospel…

We Have No Excuse

Romans 1:18-20 The Bad News: The Wrath of God against Mankind Bad News for Bad Pagan; We Have No Excuse If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 1, verse 18. We’re continuing to work our way through this glorious epistle of Paul to the Romans. The last time we were together we were in verses 16 and 17 where Paul announces the theme of his entire book. And today we begin what is the first section proper. Everything before verse 18 is really Paul’s…

The First Things (Creation) (3): The Days of Creation

If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to the very first chapter again, Genesis, chapter 1. One of the elders said to me, given the fact that we took two weeks to cover verses 1 and 2, that we were all going to be dead before I finished the book of Genesis. So we're going to see how far we can get tonight in Genesis 1, and we’ll pick up in verse 3. What I'd like to do, Lord willing, is give you an overview of the creation days. There really is so much here that we…

The First Things (Creation) (2): In the Beginning

If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn again with me to Genesis, chapter 1, and we’ll look again at the first couple of verses. We said as we started our study that Genesis means origins or beginnings and it lays the groundwork not only for the book of Exodus but for the rest of scripture. The principles, the foundation that is set forth there is basic to everything else in scripture. The book, of course, begins with God’s creation of the world, but its early chapters…
