While Moses was on the mountain getting instructions for the Tabernacle, his brother Aaron was below, getting different instructions. The Twelve Tribes had a habit of giving up on God just before He was about to come through for them. A psychologist might have some theories about why they were always so willing to believe that God had abandoned them. But the faithful God and His faithless people were about to clash. When we broke for the weekend we were in Exodus, at Sinai. Today Jim picks up his message called The Sanctuary.

While God is preparing a place for His people, He asks them to make a place for Him. With the children of Israel camped at the foot of Sinai, God reveals His plans for them. And He gives Moses the plans for the Tabernacle - a portable sanctuary. All of these plans have the same purpose: God and man as next-door neighbors, ultimately with our relationship restored. Here's Part 1 of Jim's sermon, The Sanctuary.

When God wants to teach all of humanity, He doesn't put together a "PowerPoint" presentation. The ultimate Teacher knows that the best way to communicate a message is often by example. And that's one reason He called the people of Israel to be a light to the nations. They would prove the goodness of His laws in the real world, where life under all the alternatives was "nasty, brutish and short." Will these students get the message, and be able to teach others? We're back in the book of Exodus for Part 2 of Jim's sermon, My Kingdom of Priests.

There was trouble in the Moses household. Yes, not only did Moses always seem to have dissent and near-mutiny simmering in the ranks, he had no peace at home, either. In our previous get-together, Jim gave the local congregation a homework assignment: Find out what caused Moses' wife Zipporah to go back and stay with her father Jethro, the priest of Midian. The strange answer will be the springboard into our new conversation, called My Kingdom of Priests. Here's Part 1 of that message from Pastor Jim.

What if you were expecting "milk and honey," and there's not even any water? What's going on, God? Are you lost? And Moses, where are your great leadership skills? "Why, now, have you brought us up from Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?" That seems like a pretty legitimate complaint...unless you've just gone through this same lesson with the manna and the quail. The refugees from Egypt were grumbling when they should have been trusting. Here's Jim with Part 2 of Heavenly Bread and Rocky Water.

We depend on God for every bite of food - but many haven't figured that out, yet. In the wilderness the children of Israel were reminded every day that they had food in their tummies because God wanted it so. And if this was true of the manna, it was also true of water, and breath. We live by God's decision, and word. That's total dependency! And there was something deeper that the manna taught, as well. We start the week with a new sermon from Jim, called Heavenly Bread and Rocky Water.

"You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to Myself." I opened with a quote from Exodus 19, which is a bit further on in our study. But it reveals the flight from Egypt from God's perspective. He's bringing the children of Israel to a place, no doubt. But primarily He's calling them to Himself. And they'll meet Him in a very different place, as we'll read today. Here's the final part of the message, On Eagles' Wings. Jim is in Exodus 15.

Between the devil and the deep Red Sea. The signature miracle of the Exodus, the parting of the Red Sea, seems far removed from our experience. But is it? Haven't we felt trapped between, say, a virus and the loss of our livelihoods? The irresistible force is about to meet the immovable object, with us in between. We've been there. Here's Part 2 of On Eagles' Wings.

Before the children of Israel could thrive in a new place, they would have to become new people. Sound familiar? The Hebrews leaving Egypt had been slaves all their lives. It was going to take some instruction - and conditioning - to make them a nation. So God instituted a crash training program for them. That's our subject for the rest of this week as we present Jim's sermon, On Eagles' Wings. We're in Exodus chapter 13.

God reveals His strategy before the fight. Whether it's Pharaoh, or Gog & Magog, or Satan himself, God has given up the element of surprise. He prints His battle plans on a huge lighted billboard outside their front door - and they charge ahead. If, as they say, history doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme, we've been reading some of the poetry of God's design.
