The People Believed, Worshiped and are Afflicted

The People Believe, Worship and are AfflictedExodus 4:27-5:14 If you have your Bibles I’d invite you to turn with me to Exodus 4, verse 27. Now we’re continuing our study in Exodus. We have seen throughout this message of God’s deliverance, especially in the first eighteen chapters it is emphasized that we are redeemed by God, and we are within the first of three parts in those first eighteen chapters, focusing on the trials and the bondage of Israel. In Exodus 1, we said that God’s sovereignty was emphasized. In Exodus 2, Moses, the future deliverer of Israel, is introduced and put in a good light. At the end of Exodus 2 we learn that the redemption of Israel is rooted in God’s prior covenant commitments. In Exodus 3 God manifests Himself to Moses at Sinai, tells him that He…

The Midwives, Who Feared God

The Midwives, Who Feared God Exodus 1:15-22 If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Exodus, chapter 1 again. We’re going to concentrate on the final words of the chapter, beginning in verse 15. I couldn’t help but think as Derek was preaching on Job, chapter 2 on Wednesday night, that the same struggle of Job not knowing what God’s sovereign purposes were in his trial, must have dawned upon at least some of the children in Egypt. Surely, this question crossed their mind. Why would you have sent us to Egypt in the first place? Why would we have faced the attempts of the officials of this land to exterminate us as a people? Why would we undergo slavery, not for one or two or three generations, but for ten generations. Four hundred and thirty years. Why would we…

The Book of Esau

Genesis 36:1-43The Book of Esau If you have Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Genesis 36. Tonight we come to the close of our study of the life of Jacob. Though Jacob still has a significant role to play in the history of God's dealings with his sons. The focus, however, of Genesis shifts hereafter to Joseph. And in our studies in the immediately preceding chapters of Genesis we have seen over and over that God is preparing Jacob to trust Him and to acknowledge Him alone. It's interesting that that preparation continues right up into Jacob's latter days. You know, you might think that, well, that preparation would be something that would take on very early in life and then Jacob would do something significant. But, the very fact of the matter is that God continues…

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…

The New World Order (Life after the deluge) (1): The…

Genesis 10:1-32. The New World Order (Life after the deluge)(l): The Line of the Sons of Noah If you have your Bibles with you please turn with me to Genesis, chapter 10. Tonight we enter into a new section of the book of Genesis. Moses himself partitions this particular chapter and gives it the heading “the Toledoth of the sons of Noah,” that is, the book of the generations of Shem, Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah. And this passage is an expansion of those passing comments that we…

The Flood (The Life of Noah) (6): The Cursing of Canaan

Genesis 9:18-29 The Cursing of Canaan If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Genesis 9. We’ll begin in verse 18 tonight. As we have studied the book of Genesis together, we've seen the creation account in Genesis, chapter 1. We have seen God's special favor towards man highlighted in Genesis, chapter 2 and Genesis, chapter 3. We have gone through in some detail the account of the fall of man into sin and the consequences of that. In Genesis, chapter 4 we saw an…

The Godly Line

If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Genesis 5. We have seen God's glorious work of creation recounted in Genesis 1. We've seen His special favor toward mankind recounted in Genesis 2. We've come to the saddest moment in human history in Genesis 3. The doctrinal point of that passage, of course, is to show in the words of the Apostle Paul that sin came into the world through one man and thus death through sin. And, of course with sin came misery, not…

The Beginnings of Culture

In Genesis, chapter 4 we have seen God's glorious work of creation recounted in Genesis 1. Specifically the creation of Adam and Eve and the covenant relationship that God established with them in Genesis 2. We have seen that sad picture of the fall in Genesis 3 and in our study of the first half of Genesis 4, we've already begun to see the effects of the fall in human history. And tonight as we come to Genesis 4, verses 16 through 26, we view there the unfolding of the original human…

Reaping the Whirlwind

Please turn in your Bibles to Genesis 4 as we continue our study in the foundations of the faith. We have seen God's glorious work of creation accounted in Genesis 1. We've seen more specifically the special relationship established between the Lord and Adam in Genesis 2 and the stipulations of the covenant of works in Genesis 3. We have seen that fellowship disrupted, and really from Genesis 3 all the way to about Genesis 6:8, we have a study in sin. The nature of sin. The consequences…
