The Poor Widow Cast in More Than All | A Sermon by G. Campbell Morgan

https://open.spotify.com/episode/3KymkrzWqfXG6mRkDWQsVn?si=w9xZJzdZQ3Sm3de08Gn62g G. Campbell Morgan's sermons on the Gospel of Mark quickly became one of my favorite resources. Though he often taught through much larger chunks of text than I did (this sermon covers Mark 11:27 through the end of chapter 12!), he very often pointed out connections that would have likely never noticed on my …

The LORD Descends | Exodus 19:9-25

https://youtu.be/Rv12UsHMNJU In their album based on the epistle of Hebrews, Psallos has a song about the tabernacle and the old covenant that was made with Israel at Sinai. In that song, they call it a come-but-stay-away covenant, and our present text will display how true that description is. At the very heart of our passage …

A Kingdom of Priests | Exodus 19:1-8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EIqBskLLmc Licentiousness is not liberty. Much infernal schemes have made that statement quite difficult to believe, but it is true nonetheless. Freedom is not the ability to do whatever pleases you because a life dictated by pleasure is a life of slavery, a life dominated by momentary desires. Such a life is nothing more than …

Blessed Be the LORD | Exodus 18:1-12

Exodus 18 is a positive unfolding of chapter 17. Exodus 17 began with Israel quarreling with Moses, placing God on trial, and God Himself taking Israel’s rightful judgment. It then ended with a nation of Gentiles attacking the weak and weary Israel. Exodus 18 is the reverse. In this first half, we begin with Jethro, …

The LORD Is My Banner | Exodus 17:8-16

https://youtu.be/CZcvGQKC034 The truth is that a life well lived is always lived on a rising scale of difficulty. As a little kid, I had a job: Obey my mother. Don't lie. Play hard. Be kind to my sisters. At the time, that job was actually difficult. My mom kept saying things like, "Come here." And, …

Give Us Water to Drink | Exodus 17:1-7

https://youtu.be/rPHDjKzsCIE I must confess that I am sort of ready to be done with all these passages about Israel's grumbling in the wilderness. I do not find the repetition to be boring by any means. Instead, I am reminded all over again that God's Word really is alive and active, slicing like a sword through …

Bread from Heaven | Exodus 16:13-36

https://youtu.be/a3oq5ZH6wCQ While this chapter of Exodus most notably describes the miraculous gift of manna (the bread of angels) to the Israelites in the desert, we began the chapter last week without discussing the manna much at all. Instead, we focused upon the grumbling of the Israelites, the provision of God, and the reason for both …
