    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 6, 2021
     | 2,705 views

    In covenanting with us, God self-limits himself. He has committed to us, and here, He reminds Moses about how this works.

    Last week, we ended on what was maybe the low point of the book of Exodus. Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron to go, and tell Pharaoh to let his people go. And they did. But when they spoke to Pharaoh, he resisted, hard. He didn't acknowledge Yahweh, and he wouldn't let the people go. ...read more

     | 1,781 views

    This body we dwell in is the first part of man that God made. Man was a body before he was anything else. As Paul says in verse 46, the natural comes first than the spiritual.

    A. Let’s start our sermon this morning with a quote: “Life is hard and it’s harder when you’re stupid.” 1. We chuckle at that because we all know it’s true. 2. Some people attribute that quote to John Wayne. 3. I don’t know if the Duke did or didn’t say those words. 4. The line doesn’t appear in ...read more

    Integrity is not situational; it is a lifestyle.

    When we think of people with integrity, we think of those who are honest—individuals whose words and actions align. We think of someone who is dependable, someone who follows through on their commitments, AND we think of someone who does what is right even when no one is watching. Integrity is ...read more
