The (un)Expected Priest

February 6, 2022 • Gianluca Cueva • Exodus 18

Give

Ever had God send his provision from an unlikely source? As Jethro arrives at the Israelite camp to see Moses, we see faithfulness from the foreigner father-in-law who praises the LORD for his provision for the people and offers sacrifices, as well as giving wisdom to Moses in how he, and we, should organize our systems for the good of the leaders and for those in the community.

Convenant Confirmed

April 10, 2022 • Steve Gregg • Exodus 23:20—24:18

How is this part of the Covenant brought to a close? God gives his promise of conquest in the Promised Land, covenanting his people to trust him and to obey him, which is still what we must do, trusting that God loves and cares for his children whom he has redeemed. And that our salvation is not earned through obedience, but strengthened and proven through it.

Justice and Flourishing

April 3, 2022 • Steve Gregg • Exodus 22:16—23:19

What is God's purpose behind these (sometimes obscure) laws? See how the LORD gives his grace and his justice in his law to ensure a peaceful and just society.

Restitution

March 27, 2022 • Steve Lammers • Exodus 21:33—22:15

What is the theme for God's law in this section of Exodus? As we here from more of the law codes, we see both God's grace and justice in the codes concerning restitution and restoration, showing the paramount value of human life.
