03/12/2023 | “Showing Honor” | Exodus 20:1-21

The 5th commandment calls us to honor our parents.  But what does ‘honor’ include?  How do we do it?  Who deserves it?  How far does it go?  What difference does it make?  These are all questions we ask.  Questions the commandment addresses.   Join us as we examine Exodus 20:12 and consider all that it means to ‘Honor your father and your mother.’ 

03/05/2023 | “A Day Like No Other” | Exodus 20:8-11

Is the Lord’s Day a feast day? A Market Day for your Soul? A day unlike any other? Or is it just another day? Is it distinguished by the pursuit of the things that will last forever?  Or only more of what will quickly fade away?  Join us as we examine Exodus 20:8-11 and consider the Lord’s Day – a day like no other.

02/26/2023 | “What’s In A Name” | Exodus 20:7

Names are important. And none more than God’s. Yet no name is more unused and misused.  In the Bible, His name includes everything whereby He makes Himself known. And the 3rd Commandment reveals what it means to hallow God’s name and not take it in vain.  Join us as we examine Exodus 20:7 and consider what it means to keep and break this commandment.

02/19/2023 | “Worship: Reformed According to Scripture” | Exodus 20:1-21

When God gave the law to Israel, he used sound, not sights – words, not pictures.  He spoke but did not show himself. It is by His Word that we understand, worship, and follow him. Not through sanctified imagination or imagery. God’s word is enough.  Join us as we examine Exodus 20:4-6 and consider what the second commandment requires, what it forbids, why it is given, and what it promises. 

02/12/2023 | “Who Is Like the Lord Our God?” | Exodus 20:1-21

While God shares every spiritual blessing with us in Christ, he will never share his glory. Nor claim less than all your love with heart, soul, mind, and strength. Join us as we examine the First Commandment in Exodus 20:2 and consider the one thing God never shares and what that requires and forbids in our lives.

01/29/2023 | “Front Matter” | Exodus 20:1-17

Few read a book’s preface, acknowledgements, or table of contents. But without them much is lost. They are the authors keys to unlock a book’s perspective and purpose.  Join us as we examine Exodus 20:1-2 and consider the ‘front matter’ God gives us to understand the attributes, uses, categories and grace of the moral law as summarily revealed in the Ten Commandments. 

01/15/2023 | “No Spare Parts” | Exodus 18:13-27

The Christian life is no solitary pilgrimage to a higher ethic. It is a life in community.  And the Body of Christ has no spare parts, no rugged individualists, no mere appendices. Every believer is called to live in community. And each is indispensable.

Before the Lord meets with Israel to give the Law at Sinai, he uses the newest convert, Jethro, to give a plan for shepherding and care.   Join us as we examine Exodus 18:13-27 as we consider Jethro’s counsel and its implications for our life together as believers.

11/20/2022 | “Well Armed” | Exodus 17:8-16

Pharaoh tried to prevent Israel leaving. Amalek worked to prevent them entering Canaan. But Satan directs it all. Moses tells Joshua to mobilize men. But Israel’s real weapon is prayer. Spiritual warfare demands spiritual weapons. How well armed are you? Join us as we examine Exodus 17:8-16 and see how God arms us well for spiritual warfare through prayer.

11/06/2022 | “On Being Hangry” | Exodus 16:1-36

Are you spiritually hangry? Irritable because God hasn’t made you what you wanted? Nor given what you wanted?  Or you led to a bleak or unpromising place?  In Exodus 16 Israel was hangry. And rebelled against God’s plan to save them. What about you?

Join us as we examine Exodus 16 and consider the dangers of complaint and the gracious means God gives to deliver us.
