Blood, Frogs, Gnats | Exodus 7:14-8:19

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 …

Pharaoh Will Not Listen | Exodus 6:10-7:13

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 …

I Am the LORD | Exodus 6:1-9

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 …

Who Is the LORD? | Exodus 5

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 …

Bridegroom of Blood | Exodus 4:18-31

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 …

I Will Be with Your Mouth | Exodus 3:16-4:17

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 …

Deceiving the Serpent: Was It Sin for the Midwives to Deceive Pharaoh?

https://open.spotify.com/episode/3ROhrKFKkaa8LpvY9arGo1?si=JdzmkYDQTWuwYf9AmDLBhw Even if we were to study a book of the Bible one verse at a time, there would still be no way extracting every nugget of truth and wisdom from its pages, so given the pace with which we will be studying Exodus (often moving one chapter or more per week), there will obviously …
