    All That Glitters Is Not Gold

    Were it not for the intercession of Moses, the Israelites would have been destroyed. This message shows us that only God is to be worshiped. It also teaches us the value of intercessory prayer.

    ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD Exodus 32:1-14 INTRODUCTION: All that glitters is not gold. While Moses was on Mount Sinai receiving the Ten Commandments, something dreadfully wrong was happening below among Aaron and the Israelites. They had fashioned a golden calf to be an object of worship. Were ...read more

    The Bible teaches that prayer affects God & that prayer can affect circumstances.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER CENTRAL CHRISTIAN, BROWNSVILLE, TX A. I want to read a passage of scripture that you have probably heard many times, but I’m afraid we have generally failed to focus on what it is saying. Listen as I read Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord ...read more

    I remember as a young youth pastor, we went to a live concert where a man named Keith Green was giving a free proformance. As he walked on the stage, all that was on the stage was his pianio. His first song he sung was called "so you wanna go back to Egypt". That title stuck in my mind, as never ...read more

    A sermon warning against false worship, and the problems with disobeying God.

    When A Good Man Does A Bad Thing or Golden Calf Religion Exodus 32 Aaron, I believe, was a good man. If not, I do not think that God would have chosen him to head the priesthood for the nation of Israel. He was mightily used of God to help Moses as he led the people. I’m sure there were times ...read more

    The problems of a ’pick and mix’ approach to a relationship with God

    Exodus 32: 1-14 Pick and Mix Christianity One of the great mantras of current politics is the word ‘choice’. It seems that we must have choice in everything whether it’s the schools our children go to, or the hospitals we are treated in. Disappointingly, this idea of choice is strictly limited ...read more

    Find Atonement In God's Intercessor

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jan 30, 2006
    based on 11 ratings
     | 4,643 views

    Christ has done what Moses could not do. He has "made atonement" for the sins of God’s people. Jesus took our guilt upon himself. Jesus received the punishment we deserved because of our sins.

    In the Old Testament lesson for this Sunday we heard how Moses served as a sign to God’s people. He symbolized a greater prophet who would appear some time in the future. For forty years Moses filled the role of God’s voice among the Israelites. Remember they had asked for that arrangement after ...read more

    Two Loves

    based on 9 ratings
     | 4,736 views

    Moses was a man of two loves - a love for God and a love for His people. It seemed to be two incompatible loves, but they are actually one. His prayers expressed the very heart of God - one of compassion and mercy.

    Moses was away for too long – 40 days on Mount Sinai • The people couldn’t wait any longer, and so they decided to make themselves a new god – a golden calf • Even before Moses step down from the mountain, the Lord told him what was happening at the foot of the mount. Having been delivered from ...read more
