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 into the Lord's service, and in verses 1-15, the last time we were together we saw that there we have a detailed set of divine instructions for how to set up the tabernacle; and then, in verses 16-33, we have a detailed description of the carrying out of those instructions for the setting up of…

The Burning Bush: Nec tamen Consumebatur

The Burning Bush: Nec tamen ConsumebaturExodus 3:1-12 If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Exodus, chapter 3, as we come to that incident of the burning bush. This is for the second consecutive week a pivotal passage pregnant with meaning in the Exodus story, a section that records the call of Moses into service as the deliverer of God’s people. But before we get to that story, we perhaps needs to remember some of the themes we’ve already seen. Already in Exodus, chapter 1, we’ve seen the deliberate way that Moses links creation and redemption. God’s work of redemption is just as great and broad a work as is his work of creation, in the repetition of the phrase “fruitful and multiplied” several times in Exodus, chapter 1, Moses ties in what God…

A Stormy Walk-Clinging to God

Genesis 32:24-32A Stormy Walk — Clinging to God If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Genesis, chapter 32 as we continue our study in the life of Jacob. As we have worked through Genesis 30 and 31 and the first part of Genesis 32 we have said over and over that God is teaching Jacob to trust Him and to acknowledge Him alone. And that's the lesson that continues tonight in this very well-known passage. As well known as this passage is, it's a mysterious passage. It's only the second time in the book of Genesis that the Lord manifests Himself in human form. He has appeared to the patriarchs in many times and in many ways, but this is only the second time that He did so in human form. He did once with Abraham, and now He does here with Jacob. So…

The Establishment of a Covenant People: The Promises of…

Genesis 17:1-8 Faith Assured If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Genesis 17. Thirteen years have passed since the birth of Ishmael. And Abram has resigned himself to be content with Ishmael as the son of promise. That may be a surprising statement for me to make. You may be asking, how in the world do you know that? And I will show you in just a few moments how I know that. But God had other plans. This chapter is about the personal, spiritual renewal of Abraham in…
