https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOa2xK4z8zk&list=PLpjdHYmZ6tSRMhkmO6aSl0uKTt6uVsXU5&index=9 In our previous text, the LORD began His great confrontation with Pharaoh by sending Moses and Aaron into the king’s palace to perform a sign of the judgments that would follow. By using a serpent, God revealed that the symbol of power and sovereignty that Pharaoh displayed upon his crown belonged exclusively to the …
This sermon was originally preached in 2015. Our present text begins with two angels coming into Sodom and meeting Lot. Like any good host, Lot invites them into his house; however, the men of the city are intent on being less kind of the angels. We see the depravity of humanity as the men desperately …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tSfs20ebM0&list=PLpjdHYmZ6tSRMhkmO6aSl0uKTt6uVsXU5&index=8 Last week we observed God's second revelation of Himself to Moses, and we should note that such there is a similar repetition to all of chapters 5-6. You see, in chapters 1-4, we find this overall pattern: God's people suffer and cry out, God hears their cry and reveals Himself to Moses, and God …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTCSEw9RuTQ&list=PLpjdHYmZ6tSRMhkmO6aSl0uKTt6uVsXU5&index=7 Chapter 5 began with the long-awaited meeting of Moses and Pharaoh; however, the splendid sparks that the exodus story is so known for scarcely flew. Rather than beginning Egypt’s ruin by the hand of God, the brief encounter ended with the king of Egypt tightening his tyrannical grip upon the Hebrews even further by …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDq5kA-uQD0&list=PLpjdHYmZ6tSRMhkmO6aSl0uKTt6uVsXU5&index=6 As last, here in the fifth chapter of Exodus, we find the first confrontation between Moses and Pharaoh. Through all of his faults and fears, Moses returned to Egypt with his brother Aaron and told the elders of Israel all that God had spoken to him. In response, they believed what Moses had said …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-4CBgC3O4Q&list=PLpjdHYmZ6tSRMhkmO6aSl0uKTt6uVsXU5&index=5 Although this passage can be easily overlooked as a necessary interlude between God's appearance to Moses and the showdown with Pharaoh, what we find is a rich picture of Moses' first faltering steps of obedience and much foreshadowing of the wonders yet to come. The theme that ties these passages together is Moses' long-awaited …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B-JZXc0O28&list=PLpjdHYmZ6tSRMhkmO6aSl0uKTt6uVsXU5&index=4 The text before us is a direct continuation of what we studied last week. After four hundred years of slavery in Egypt and after Moses’ forty years of living in the wilderness of Midian, God came down to reveal Himself to Moses and to send him back to Egypt to deliver His people out …

In John Piper's book Providence, he very helpfully lists out ten dimensions of meaning that are declared by God's name, Yahweh, and His declaration of Himself, I AM WHO I AM. Although I did not have time last Sunday's sermon to read such a lengthy quotation, it is certainly worth sharing here (and the book …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oA7U7MI0Gs&list=PLpjdHYmZ6tSRMhkmO6aSl0uKTt6uVsXU5&index=3 In these verses, we read the beginning of the account of God’s appearance to Moses in the burning bush. As we study this passage, we will largely behold three points: the unapproachable holiness of God, the goodness of His descendent to rescue His people, and the revelation of God’s holy name. STANDING ON HOLY …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwr5MhRGovU&list=PLpjdHYmZ6tSRMhkmO6aSl0uKTt6uVsXU5&index=2 Chapters 2 and 3 of Genesis set the scene for the remainder of the book of Genesis as well as the Bible as a whole. Chapter 2 establishes how the world was created to be, the garden paradise that we still yearn for. Chapter 3, however, purposely mirrors chapter 2 because it reveals how …
