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 …
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 …
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, …
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, …
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 …
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 …
https://youtu.be/7u6gEC8YlOs Having been redeemed from their slavery in Egypt, chapters 15-19 of Exodus provide us with a description of Israel's journey from the Red Sea to the foot of Sinai.

https://youtu.be/R2UsPRav1EA In our present text, we find the remainder of Exodus, indeed of the Pentateuch, in miniature. Being led through the wilderness in chapters 15-18, God brings Israel to the foot of Sinai to receive His covenant and commandments and from there to enter the Promise Land (though they would, of course, spend forty years …
https://youtu.be/bsoG1-NEB5c After studying through a genealogy, a psalm that was also a parable, and a proverb about oxen, we at last moved back into a larger text. Particularly, we return to the book of Exodus, which we previously studied last year. We concluded with chapter 14 and then went on to conclude the Gospel of …
Author As with the other books of the Torah or Pentateuch, Moses has traditionally been acknowledged as the author of Exodus. While there is no direct claim to Moses’ authorship within the book (though an indirect argument could be made from God’s commands for Moses to write down His law), Jesus validates Moses as the …
