A Warning Against Judging Brothers (2)

Romans 14:1-12 A Warning Against Judging Brothers (part 2) If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Romans chapter 14. We started looking at this passage last week , working our way through a marvelous section of the book of Romans. Romans 12 through 15 is a tremendous portion of this great gospel. It spells out the way of the Christian life. It tells us about what life ought to be like with in the body of Christ. How we ought to relate to one another. In Romans 14, verses 1 through 12, Paul is continuing his discussion of Christian living. We noted in Romans 12 and in 13 that he had statements that were directed to Christians about their relating to one another, as well as statements to Christians about how they were to relate to society and government and pagans…

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…

The Tenth Plague: Death of the Firstborn

The Tenth Plague: Death of the Firstborn Exodus 11:1-10 If you’d take your Bibles and turn with me to Exodus, chapter 11, we come now to the final plague. Let's hear God's Word. “Now the Lord said to Moses, ‘One more plague I will bring on Pharaoh and on Egypt; after that, he will let you go from here. When he lets you go, he will surely drive you out from here completely. Speak now in the hearing of the people, that each man asks from his neighbor, and each woman from her neighbor, for articles of silver and articles of gold. The Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Furthermore, the man Moses himself was greatly esteemed in the land of Egypt, both in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people. And Moses said, ‘Thus says the…

The Ninth Plague: Darkness

Exodus 10:21-29 The Ninth Plague: Darkness If you have your Bibles, I'd like to direct your attention to the end of Exodus, chapter 10, picking up in verse 21. Today we come to the penultimate plague of the next to the last of this series of ten plagues. We have seen three triads of plagues so far. The first three, the middle three, and now this, the end of the last three. There will be one more plague, but it's in a category all its own. We've been having hints all along that it may…

The Eighth Plague: Locusts

Eighth Plague the LocustsExodus 10:1-20 If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Exodus 10. We come tonight to the eighth of the ten plagues. As we do, you know that we are already in the last triad. There are three three’s in the plagues. Plagues one through three, four through six, and seven through nine bear certain similarities. And seem to be attached in three distinctive cycles. So this is the middle of the last cycle of plagues. We’ve already observed an…

Under Grace

Grace Under Fire Romans 6:15-18 If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn to Romans 6. We’re going to be looking at Romans 6, verses 15 through 18 today. I’d like to remind you of a couple of things before we read this passage. From Romans, chapter 3 through 5, Paul has especially reminded us that our forgiveness, our acceptance with God is grounded in His grace. Romans 6 has been stressing that grace transforms. In Romans chapter 6, he is stressing that we are not only forgiven by…

The Sixth and Seventh Plagues: Boils and Hail

The Sixth and Seventh Plagues: Boils and HailExodus 9:8-35 If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with to Exodus, chapter 9. We’ve worked through the first five plagues now, and it may be good to pause and review some of themes we’ve seen so far. First of all, we’ve emphasized on a number of occasions that the plague represents God’s redemptive work of destruction. That is, as He works to redeem us from our enemies, from Satan and from sin from the power of the flesh and the…

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…

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…
