1. From A Free People To Slaves
Contributed on Jan 30, 2025
Then a new king, who did not know about Joseph, came to power in Egypt.
February 01, 2025 Last week we concluded Genesis with Joseph’s death at 110. By that time his family had been living in Egypt for 70 years. Much like Genesis, there are things in Exodus that God has chosen to leave out – things not important to the story he is trying to tell. In the first ...read more

2. At The Burning Bush
Contributed on Feb 6, 2025
Take off your sandals, for the place you are standing is holy ground...
February 08, 2025 According to Acts 7:23, Moses was 40 when he left Egypt to become a shepherd in Midian. Wild sheep can survive on their own – not so with domesticated sheep. They are skittish and easily frightened. They can’t protect themselves, so as a survival strategy, they flock ...read more

3. False Start
Contributed on Feb 13, 2025
Moses had not wanted this assignment, but after some convincing, he had gone before Pharaoh and thrown down the gauntlet, but instead of crumbling, Pharaoh had taken up the challenge and thrown the first punch, apparently unafraid of the insignificant shepherd and his desert God.
February 15, 2025 Last week, when the Children of Israel were told that Yahweh had seen their misery and was concerned about them: “They believed and bowed down and worshiped” It was a great 1st start. Now all Moses and Aaron had to do was convince Pharaoh. I am not sure what they were ...read more

4. The Great I Am Vs. Stone, Metal And Wood
Contributed on Feb 20, 2025
Pharaoh has maintained that he does not know this God of slaves. Well, Yahweh is about to introduce himself ---- He will make himself known.
February 22, 2025 Moses has lost all his confidence. Pharaoh had said “NO!” then he increased Israel’s workload. Now the Israelites wanted Moses to just go away. Despite Yahweh’s declaration, “I will redeem Israel,” Moses was still certain that Pharaoh would not listen to him. Definitely a ...read more

5. From Slavery To Freedom
Contributed on Feb 27, 2025
While the people were complaining, Pharaoh was rejoicing. From his perspective, Moses had made a tactical error. He had led Israel into a dead-end with some pretty ticked off Egyptians blocking their only way of escape. GOTCHA!!!
March 01, 2025 What was God’s master plan in delivering the Children of Israel from slavery? Was it just to prove that the gods of Egypt were impotent against him? Was it just to judge Egypt for their harsh treatment of Jacob’s descendants? Was it merely a demonstration of his power? Was it ...read more

6. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
Contributed on Mar 7, 2025
The cycle, which began in Egypt continued: • God does something great….. The people rejoice. • An apparent obstacle appears…. The people complain. • God does something great….. The people rejoice.
March 08, 2025 Last week, we left Israel on the edge of the desert of Shur. They had just witnessed the power of God in the destruction of the Egyptian Army in the Red Sea and now the greatest adventure of their lives was about to begin. What do you think the people expected? An easy, pothole ...read more

7. "everything Yahwe Says, We Will Do, Except.....
Contributed on Mar 13, 2025
While Yahweh had proven himself faithful time and time again, Israel had proven less so. Yet, despite all their grumbling and complaining, Yahweh had journeyed with them and he had brought them to his mountain.
March 15, 2025 When Yahweh called Moses, he made a promise: Exodus 3:12 - "I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain." Faithful to his promise: Exodus ...read more

8. Blueprint For The Sanctuary
Contributed on Mar 20, 2025
More than anything, God wanted to be known, so He would pitch His tent in the very center of the camp of Israel. It was to be a place where God and humans would meet.
March 22, 2025 In between the giving of the law and the worship of the golden calf are the chapters that contain the detailed description of the design and function of the Earthly Tabernacle (Exodus 25-31). Last week, God initiated, and Israel willingly entered into, a permanent covenant ...read more

9. Time Out!
Contributed on Mar 27, 2025
And the people got up to dance
March 29, 2025 Moses had been up on the mountain for nearly 6 weeks receiving the blueprints for the Tabernacle - the emblem of God’s desire to dwell among his people. Meanwhile, at the bottom of the mountain, the people had gotten restless and imagined all sorts of scenarios for Moses’ ...read more
