What started as a group of 70 people developed into a nation. A new Pharaoh had arisen who neither knew nor cared about what Joseph had done for his people. All he knew was that this nation of foreigners was growing, and he felt threatened. And so he schemed and devised laws to stop these people from growing. But in the middle of his cruelest edict yet, throwing the firstborn sons into the river, one floated. Carried by a basket right into his own household, Moses was saved and adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter.

What if you could find joy and fulfillment in giving? This isn’t about charity or philanthropy, but about the spiritual act of giving willingly as elucidated in Exodus 35. In our fascinating conversation, we explore the concept of giving willingly, not just materially, but also devoting our lives for the Lord's cause. From the tale of the Israelites building the Tabernacle, you’ll discover the profound joy that comes from seeing the fruit of the Lord's work that you've contributed to.

We also explore the significance of the gold threads woven into the blue, purple, and scarlet fabric and the beauty of starting afresh with God. Join us on this last session in Exodus, a book that demonstrates symbolism between the era of The Law and the Age of Grace. Come, let's find fulfillment in giving!

Just how significant is the Biblical Sabbath in our lives today? We ferret out more information in this episode that might change the way you think about rest, work, and the glory of God. Continuing to draw from the Biblical account of Moses, we mine rich insights into how the allure of 'shiny things' can distract us from our true focus: God. We discuss the veil Moses dons, urging ourselves to be discerning about where the glory is truly resting - on shiny distractions or God himself?

As we continue our journey, we take a critical look at the traditions and constraints associated with the Sabbath, particularly in the light of Jesus' arrival. We reflect on the provocative statement 'the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath' - a timeless message that still stirs discussions among modern Sabbath observers. This episode is a penetrating dialogue that will not only inspire you to work for the glory of God but also to rest in His glory. Join us as we explore these Biblical truths together.

Ever felt overwhelmed by your own transgressions and wondered if there's any chance of grace left for you? Join us as we uncover God's unwavering faithfulness, as illustrated through these latter chapters of Exodus. We dive into how God, in His infinite patience and mercy, still showered blessings upon Israel, despite their grave sin of idolatry. We also examine the incredible promises He made to them, and how He stayed true to His covenant, assuring them of His boundless love and protection.

What does it mean to be truly redeemed and how does this change the way we live our lives? As we continue our journey through Exodus, we explore the implications of straying from the path of righteousness, exemplified by Israel's idolatry.  Stay with us as we continue our journey, Reasoning Through the Bible.

Ever wondered how audacious one must be to ask God to reveal His glory? Well, Moses showed us how, in an account that's both dramatic and tender. In this session, we discuss the depth of Moses' relationship with God as he made a request that no other person in the Bible dared to make before or after him, to see God's glory. We delve into God's response that followed, providing fresh insights into God's display of grace and compassion on His terms.

Lastly, we shed light on the humility and worship of Moses, using his response to God's power as a mirror. Drawing upon teachings from the New Testament, we parallel Moses' actions with Peter's call to humble oneself before God, offering powerful lessons that are just as relevant today. So, buckle up and continue with us on this insightful journey through Exodus as we draw wisdom from the life of Moses, a man who dared to seek a deeper, more intimate relationship with God

What would life look like if we had a personal relationship with God? Picture Moses speaking directly to God, unpretentious and humble. This episode takes you on an enlightening journey through Exodus 33, exploring contrasts between the people of Israel and Moses' relationship with God. We break down the impact of faith, the power of prayer, and how Moses' obedient and humble nature allowed him to communicate candidly with God. We elaborate on the love God has for us, manifested through the gift of Jesus, which allows us to experience a personal relationship with Him. 

We contrast the believer and the non-believer and establish how having God in us, as believers, through the Holy Spirit differentiates us from worldly ways. We wrap up with an inspiring discussion on how we can invite God into our lives and converse with Him, just as Moses did. So, gear up for this enlightening journey and let's navigate Exodus 33 together.

Would you be willing to intercede for someone who's committed a grave sin? Today, we explore the fascinating narrative of Moses, who did exactly that for the people of Israel, following their idol worship. We dive into Moses' righteous indignation, his plea for forgiveness on behalf of the nation, and how this narrative ties to Jesus, our ultimate intercessor.

Have you ever wondered about God's promises and how they persist regardless of disobedience? Despite Israel's rebellion, God continues to uphold His unconditional promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, a promise reiterated throughout the Old Testament. We discuss the sobering repercussions of Israel's defiance and how God warned Moses that He might end up destroying them if He were to accompany them. It's a profound reminder of our unique privilege to join God on His mission. Tune in for an invigorating exploration of Biblical history and how it shapes our faith today.

Ever wondered how the taste of a golden calf would be? The answer might not be as appetizing as you'd imagine. We continue our exploration of the Biblical account  of Exodus, Chapter 32, and what we have named "The Golden Calf Debacle."  We review the first-hand shocking sight Moses witnessed as he descended from Mount Sinai, stone tablets filled with divine laws in hand, to discover the Israelites worshipping a golden calf idol. An idol he would soon order be ground to dust and fed to the very people who worshipped it, highlighting the bitter aftertaste of deviating from God's path. 

Our journey doesn’t stop here. We venture further into the emotional turmoil of Moses and the fierce warrior spirit of Joshua. Can righteous anger justify shattering sacred tablets? We'll challenge this question, and you'll learn the ripple effects of anger, the implications of sin, and the everlasting lessons embedded in this ancient narrative. The story takes an interesting turn as we spotlight Aaron and his role in the creation of the golden calf. We'll ponder on leadership, accountability, and the complexities of dealing with heresy within the church, offering parallels with today's religious scenarios. So, join us as we reflect upon the bitter taste of idolatry and the profound life lessons embedded in the story of the Golden Calf.

Do you ever feel like your place of worship has become more of an idol than God himself? As we journey through Exodus, you’ll discover that this kind of idol worshipping isn't a new phenomenon, but something that the Israelites also struggled with. Our conversation notes how this act of Israel's disobedience highlights the swift deviation from God's commands. We'll be reflecting upon how such pitfalls are prevalent even today, especially within our church communities.

Now, imagine a God who is rightfully jealous, with zero tolerance for idol worship. This episode explores that very aspect of God's character and the severity of sin in the context of the Israelites' transgressions. We'll also be discussing the concept of intercessory prayer, using Moses' pleas for mercy as an example. Understanding the unconditional nature of God's covenant with the Israelites and His display of mercy in times of disobedience offers us a fresh perspective on our own transgressions. Prepare yourself for a deep dive into these profound Biblical teachings, which continue to resonate in our lives even today.

Here's a tantalizing thought - what if the golden calf incident from the Bible is a reflection of our current world, our struggles with patience, and the temptation of idol worship? We'll dissect the events of the golden calf, where the Israelites, despite experiencing God's power firsthand, sought comfort in a false deity, raising questions about human faith and the challenge of standing against the crowd.

Dive deeper with us as we scrutinize the intriguing human inclination towards idol worship. Ever wondered why we're drawn to tangible idols, even if it means straying from spirituality? We'll ponder over why God, despite knowing our potential to falter, still allows us the freedom of choice. It's a maze of questions that promises to challenge your perspective on faith and God's relationship with us. This is not just a podcast episode - it's a journey of exploration, a quest for understanding, and a ticket to a deeper relationship with faith. Don't miss out!
