EXODUS: The Giving of the Law, Week 2

This week, Pastor Bartley Sawatsky continues our study in EXODUS: The Giving of the Law, as he focuses on Exodus 20.

Exodus 20 contains the Ten Commandments, given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai.

EXODUS: The Giving of the Law, Week 1

Today, Chad Fugere kicks off the next section of our study in EXODUS series with The Giving of the Law, as he focuses on Exodus chapter 19. In Exodus chapter 19, the Israelites arrive at Mount Sinai, and God speaks to Moses, instructing him to convey a message to the people. God reminds them of how He brought them out of Egypt on eagle's wings and calls them to be a treasured possession and a kingdom of priests. Moses conveys God's message to the people, and they respond with obedience, purifying themselves and consecrating themselves for the encounter with God. On the third day, thunder, lightning, a thick cloud, and the sound of a trumpet emerge on the mountain, signifying the presence of God. Moses leads the people to the foot of the mountain, and God descends upon it in fire, causing it to tremble. The chapter highlights the preparation and anticipation of the Israelites as they approach a sacred encounter with God at Mount Sinai.

EXODUS: Lessons in the Desert, Week 3

Today, Brandon Ting concludes our section study in EXODUS series with Lessons in the Desert, as he focuses on Exodus chapter 18. In Exodus chapter 18, Moses' father-in-law, Jethro, visits him in the wilderness and advises him to delegate his responsibilities as leader and judge of the Israelites. Moses follows Jethro's counsel and appoints capable leaders to handle smaller disputes, while he focuses on more significant matters. These leaders assist Moses in settling disputes and teaching God's laws. Jethro recognizes the greatness of the God of Israel, offers sacrifices, and blesses the Lord for delivering the Israelites from Egypt. The chapter emphasizes the importance of wise delegation, establishing a leadership structure, and acknowledging God's sovereignty.
