How do the people respond to God's testing when they first enter the wilderness? As we see major themes start to unfold of God's testing (or training), the people's grumbling response, and the continued faithfulness of God, we should be encouraged and exhorted to not doubt the goodness of God and see how we ought to live our lives.

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.
