Exodus: Moses In The Cleft Of The Rock

Are you and I able to look upon God's face? Why or why not? What about when we're in Heaven - will we be able to look upon God then? In today's text, we'll consider Moses' request to see God's face. And we'll also consider God's response, and how He safely tucked Moses into the 'cleft in the rock.' Questions That We'll Answer: A) What did the 'cleft in the rock' typify? What was it all about? B) Why did God say He would not go with the Israelites in Exodus 33? C) Why was Moses so concerned by th...

Exodus: God And The Golden Calf

The 'golden calf' incident is a dark blot in Israelite history. While coming down the mountain, Moses heard the sound of warfare from below. But he soon found that it wasn't warfare - it was singing and adulation toward an idol. The people had broken God's law. Terribly. Egregiously. And to demonstrate what they'd done, Moses shattered the 10 Commandments before their eyes. Questions That We'll Answer: A) What were the people thinking? And why did Aaron help? B) Were the people trying to replace...

Exodus: The Heavenly Tabernacle And Priesthood

Does God care how we worship Him? According to Exodus 28, the answer is YES. In the last fifteen chapters of Exodus, we read about the construction of the Tabernacle. In these chapters, God gave the people some meticulous, specific details for the Tabernacle's components and design. He also gave specific details for the clothing of the priests - including a phrase they were to wear on their foreheads, "HOLINESS TO THE LORD." Questions That We'll Answer: A) What was the significance of God meetin...

Enjoying God Forever (Revelation 22)

Join us for this fascinating sermon, as Rev. Gardner Fish preaches from Revelation 22, Verses 1-5. "And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb...

Exodus: The Ark Of The Covenant

What was the Ark Of The Covenant? In Exodus 25, God told the Israelites to construct an 'ark,' and to place the ark in the Tabernacle. But what was the purpose of the Ark? And what was the significance of the 'mercy seat' that was on its top? These questions will be the focus of today's study. Questions That We'll Answer: A) What do we know about the ark's construction and origins? B) What was the ark's history as it was moved from place to place? C) And finally, where is the ark today? Egypt? E...

Exodus: The Blood Of The Covenant

The Israelites had seen 'animal sacrifices' before. On many occasions, they'd seen blood on the altar. However, they'd never been sprinkled by that blood (the way that Moses did in Exodus 24). Why did Moses do this? And what was the point of this "blood oath" or covenant that the people had entered into with God? That will be the focus of today's study. Questions That We'll Answer: A) Can the blood of animals take away sin? Why or why not? B) In what way did the animal sacrifices point forward t...

The Bread Of Life (John 6:30-40)

"And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe. All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should ra...

Exodus: The Angel Of The Lord

Did you know that Jesus Christ appears throughout the Book of Exodus? From the Red Sea to their arrival in the Promised Land, Jesus Christ makes multiple appearances in this part of the Old Testament. In Exodus 23, we see one of these - an occasion when He is referred to as the "Angel of the Lord." Questions That We'll Answer: A) What other times does Jesus show up in the Old Testament? B) How can we be sure that it is really Him on these occasions? C) What is the point of His presence in this c...

Exodus: The Ten Commandments (Decalogue)

God's law can teach, it can restrain, and it can disciple. But it cannot save. That was the problem of the Israelites as they looked at the burning mountain. When they heard the ten commandments, they realized this - as significant as those commandments were, they only condemned, and did not redeem. The fire on the mountain was a reminder that the people still could not approach God, even with the law in hand. So what was their hope? We'll consider that in our continuing study of the Book of Exo...

Exodus: Fire On The Mountain (Mt. Sinai)

"There were thunderings and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain; and the sound of the trumpet was very loud, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled. And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain." - Exodus 19:16-17
