Arranged

Wednesday Evening January 24, 2007 Numbers 2 “Arranged” Dr. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Numbers 2. Thank you. It’s not quite as long a passage as last week, but it’s a fairly long passage. Last week we were in Numbers 1, which gave us the numbering of the tribes; now in Numbers 2, we come to the arranging of the tribes. And we’ve said as we have come to the book of Numbers that this book, though it is filled with history that is unfamiliar to some, history that is suspected to be boring by others…we’ve said that Moses tells the stories of the history of God’s people in such a way in this book that these stories are electric, and they are filled with wisdom and with Christ for us. We also…

Power in the Blood

Wednesday Evening May 25, 2005 Leviticus 17:1-16 “Power in the Blood” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Leviticus, chapter 17. This is a strange chapter. It's a chapter that talks a lot about animal blood, and how the Old Testament people of God were to think of and treat animal blood. You may wonder why the Lord would devote a chapter in an important book about the public worship of God and the private morality of the people of God to the subject of blood. Well, you already know that from the beginning pages of Scripture, when Cain slew his brother Abel, that Moses recorded that when Cain did this atrocious thing–what happened? That Abel's “righteous blood cried out from the ground.” You remember the strictures that…

Yom Kippur: The Day of Atonement

Wednesday Evening May 11, 2005 Leviticus 16:1-34 “Yom Kippur: The Day of Atonement” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III This is an extraordinarily rich passage. It's a passage which deals with the Day of Atonement and the ritual that was required of the high priest before he engaged in the other rituals that were attendant upon the Day of Atonement. This was the yearly, the annual feast at which Israel gathered; and, despite all of these other sacrifices that we've learned about (and rituals that we've learned about) in Leviticus 1-15, this all-encompassing sin offering was offered up not only for the high priest, not only for the other priests of his household, but for the whole of Israel, because to draw near to a holy God required the covering of sin. Because Israel, though…

The Glory Cloud

First Presbyterian Church Wednesday Evening Worship May 21, 2003 Exodus 40:34 “The Glory Cloud” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Exodus, chapter 40…this is a fun section, though. This is a glorious section of Exodus 40. It's almost as if the Lord's rewarding you at the end of those long tedious descriptions from Exodus 35-39, and really into the middle of chapter 40, with this glorious spectacle. In Exodus 40 we have a view of the completion of the tabernacle, and of its consecration…

The Tent of Meeting Set Up

First Presbyterian Church Wednesday Evening Worship May 14, 2003 Exodus 40:1-33 “The Tent of Meeting Set Up” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Exodus 40. We have come to the second to the last study in this great book that we've been looking at for a long time now–93 sermons ago we started the Book of Exodus, so persevere! You’re almost there! Now, let's look at Exodus 40 together. In Exodus 40:1-33, we are given a view of the…

Moses’ Benediction

First Presbyterian Church Wednesday Evening Worship May 7, 2003 Exodus 39:32-43 “Moses’ Benediction” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III We've said over and over that one third of the Book of Exodus is devoted to the instructions regarding the building of the tabernacle and in the report of the carrying out of the building of the tabernacle. And we've also said over and over that the sheer volume of material on the tabernacle proves to us the importance of worship to God. If God didn't…

The Progress of Construction

Exodus 36:8 — 38:20Progress of Construction If you have your Bibles, please turn with me to Exodus 36. When we get to this part of Exodus, much of this material is duplicated from earlier passages in Exodus. The difference is that the earlier passages, commanding the way the tabernacle was to be built, the way the various pieces of furnishing for the tabernacle was to be built, the way that the courtyard was to be built, was God's instruction to Moses for how it would be done. This…

Gifts and Craftsmen

Exodus 35:20-36:7Gifts and Craftsmen I'd like you to turn with me to the book of Exodus again: Exodus chapter 35, and we’ll begin in verse 20 tonight. It would be easy to get lost in the details of this passage and to be lulled to sleep and to miss the repeated and obvious grand emphases that we find here, so there are several that I want to highlight for you. For one, you’re going to see the enthusiasm and the willingness of the people to give to the work of the building of the…

Sabbath and Construction

Exodus 35:1-19Sabbath and Construction If you’ll open your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Exodus chapter 35. We are moving into the very last section of the book of Exodus and Moses’ record of the building of the tabernacle. And the very fact that the culminating chapters of this book of epic adventures climaxes on the story of the construction of a tent tells you something very important. Let me just say that again, take that in: all the adventure stories of the miracles in…
