In this sermon we will study how God’s hand anointed His chosen ones, and how the Lord used them mightily for His glory and the extension of His Kingdom.

Hand of the Lord Sermon #2 Anointed by God Acts 11:21, “And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.” (KJV) What is the purpose for which, the Hand of the Lord rests on us “I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: ...read more

The True Tabernacle: (The Laver) Series

Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Jan 21, 2023

The bronze wash basin in the Tabernacle furniture represents the place for self-examination and washing in the Christian life as we go about fulfilling our role as a royal priesthood.

The True Tabernacle: (The Laver) TEXT: Exodus 30:17-21 (NKJV) Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: “You shall also make a laver of bronze, with its base also of bronze, for washing.

How To Find The Secret Place To Encounter God

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jan 24, 2023

The term "secret place" appears dozens of times in both the Old and New Testaments

"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." (Psalm 91:1 NKJV) The term "secret place" appears dozens of times in both the Old and New Testaments. Some translations use the word shelter, covering, or dwelling rather than ...read more

God Values You, And Your Voice (Exodus 32:1-14) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 7, 2023

God has given us a seat in his divine council, and we have a voice-- a say-- in what happens in the world.

Our passage today, I'm hoping, will expand your view of who you are, of how God works, and of what prayer can do. It's not going to start, by talking about any of those things. We will take a bit of a wandering path this morning. But that's where we are going to end up. Let me ...read more

Hard Questions, Simple Answers

Contributed by Robby And Donna Flint on Feb 8, 2023

Jesus responds to the Pharisees and Herodians, God responds to Moses. In both situations, God provided simple answers to what could have been hard questions.

Punishment Pays For Sin (Exodus 32:15-35, Isaiah 53:1-6) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 10, 2023

Sometimes, God is unwilling to "carry" sin; it has to be paid for through punishment. This idea, supported by Isaiah 40, unlocks the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 53. Jesus atoned, by taking the punishment of our sin.

Let's start today by rereading last week's passage Exodus 32:1-14: (1) and the people saw that Moses was delayed in coming down from the mountain, and the people gathered/assembled before Aaron, and they said to him, "Rise up. Make for us elohim who shall walk/go before ...read more

A Place Of Favor With God (Exodus 33:1-17) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 14, 2023

After the golden calf, the future between God and Israel is murky, and unsettled. Into that, enter Moses, a man who has God's favor, and who God knows by name, and who has a close relationship with God.

Today, I want to read through three separate, but related, episodes in Exodus. Each of these three, by themselves, would make a great devotional, or sermon. There's something in each of them that is worth stopping, and just thinking about. But when we combine them, like I think we are ...read more

Can You Truly Know An Invisible God? (Exodus 33:18-23) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 19, 2023

Moses doesn't know God, the way God knows him, because God hasn't fully revealed himself. And so he asks to see God's glory, to fix that. But what is God's glory?

Last week, we left off in the middle of our story. We pushed right up against arguably the most famous, well-known verses in all of Exodus. And I just wanted to stop before I got to them, and give them the time they deserve. At the same time, this is a really complicated passage. I could ...read more

Celebrating God's Goodness (Exodus 34:1-27) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 24, 2023

God graciously renews his covenant with Israel, because of his goodness, and kindness, and grace. We celebrate God's goodness, but we do that from a position of obedience.

Last Sunday, for the second straight week, we left off right in the middle of our story. Ever since the golden calf, God and Moses have been working out what kind of future there can be, for God and Israel. Moses has been trying to persuade God that Israel is still his people. Moses still wants ...read more

The Spirituality Trap

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Feb 24, 2023

We have a tendency to see the shining mountaintop moments or the depths of despair as being the most spiritually significant. But genuine spirituality surfaces - and matures - in the daily decision to forgive, to tell the truth, to resist a temptation or to hold our tongues.

My mom tells me that when we were little she could dress my sister and me up for church in starched white petticoats and send us out to play in the yard until time to leave for church and be absolutely certain that we wouldn’t have a spot on us. We LOVED to dress up. There was no way we were going ...read more

In Moses' Shoes For One Day

Contributed by Samuel M on Dec 12, 2024

Imagine you're in Moses' shoes for a day. During the day, judge people, and at night, rush to speak with God face to face. Moses was in this routine for many years, finishing the day and rushing to speak and spend time with God at night.

So the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. Exodus 33:11 Imagine you're in Moses' shoes for a day. During the day, judge people, and at night, rush to speak with God face to face. Moses was in this routine for many years, finishing the day and rushing to speak ...read more

Sermon # 34 - The Unchanging God Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 12, 2024

Have you ever wondered if God would change His mind and if so for what reasons? The repentant King and people of Nineveh help us understand God’s true character, and our responsibility as the believers who belong to the body of Christ, the Church.

We read in Jonah 3:10,“God saw what they did; he saw that they had given up their wicked behavior. So he changed his mind and did not punish them as he had said he would.” (GNB) God sent the prophet Jonah to preach against the city of Nineveh, with the message that in forty days the city would be ...read more

Sermon # 35 - The Heart Of A Christian Leader Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 19, 2024

Jonah was a prophet of God, but he did not understand the loving heart of God towards a repentant people. The heart of Moses as a leader of the Israelites and the forgiving heart of Jesus are the best examples of how a Christian leader should love and care for the people under his or her care.

We read in Jonah 4:1, “Jonah was very unhappy about this and became angry.” (GNB) There are two kinds of emotions that Jonah expressed as mentioned in the verse above, one was sadness, and the other was anger. As we meditate on this portion of scripture, we will try to understand the reasons for ...read more

Staring Down Your Critics Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Dec 19, 2024

Behold the glory of the Lord and be bold in your service for the Lord.

There is an old Peanuts cartoon, in which Linus has just written a comic strip of his own, and he wants Lucy's opinion. In the first frame, he tentatively hands Lucy his comic strip and says, “Lucy, would you read this and tell me if you think it is funny?” In the next frame, you see Lucy ...read more

The Message Of The Sound

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Jan 22, 2024

The sound heard today by a lot of the church says things like God wants you to be rich, God wants you to have 3 mansions, or God wants you to drive a Bentley, God never said he wanted you to drive a Bentley.

The Message of the Sound By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - Let me clarify for all my Cleveland Brown fans, emphatically yes, I am a Cleveland Browns Fan, but I do live in Michigan, so I have some partiality towards the Detroit Lions and that is where it stops O-H-I-O.
