EXODUS: The Giving of the Law, Week 8

This week, Elder Darcy MacCallum wraps up our study in EXODUS: The Giving of the Law, as he leads our study in Exodus 24. Exodus 24 narrates the ratification of the covenant between God and the Israelites. Moses, Aaron, and seventy elders ascend Mount Sinai to witness God's presence, symbolized by a cloud and fire. They eat a sacred meal, signifying their commitment to the covenant's terms. Moses then receives the stone tablets containing the Ten Commandments and remains on the mountain for forty days and nights, during which time he receives further instructions from God. This chapter underscores the solemnity of the covenant and the importance of obedience to God's commands. ABOUT THE SERIES The book of Exodus is foundational to the story of God's relationship with humanity. The pivotal events recorded in the second book of the Bible demonstrate God's great love for His people by rescuing them from slavery in Egypt, forming them into a nation and establishing a covenant with them. In the first 7 chapters we’ll see how God chose Moses – an abandoned child in a dangerous time who later commits murder as an adult – and redeemed his life to make him into Israel's great prophet, emancipator and leader. We meet at 4:00 pm in person every Sunday afternoon at 7755 Tenth Line West, Mississauga. We'd love to meet you and invite you to join us there!
