After the people rebelled and worshiped the golden calf, God told them he would not go with them to the Promised Land. As a result of their idol worship, Moses now met with God in a temporary "tent of meeting," outside of the camp.

While Moses was on the mountain getting instructions from God about the Tabernacle, the people down below were doing the opposite of worshipping the God who had saved them—and we face the same choice today that they were given.

As we close this section of instructions for building the Tabernacle, God tells Moses what the priests are to wear and how they are to be consecrated for service to the Lord.

After Moses asked the people to give so the tabernacle could be built, the first piece of furniture to be described was the ark of the covenant, and today's sermon explains its importance.

God's people Israel entered the courtyard of the Tabernacle to see a bronze altar that emphasized there must be sacrifice for sins. As the priests moved into the Tabernacle proper, the first room was the Holy Place and today we will discover the meaning and significance of the three pieces of furniture in it.

Today's passage concludes the Book of the Covenant (Exodus 20:22-23:19) by returning to the foundational principle that began it: worshiping God exclusively.

As we continue through Exodus, we move into the final section of the Book of the Covenant (Exodus 20:22-23:29). Here God gives his people laws that weave together social life and proper worship.

As part of the Book of the Covenant (Exodus 20:22-23:19), today's passage gives instructions about protecting other people and the property of other people.

After being severely mistreated in Egypt, God's people were given many instructions in the Book of the Covenant (Exodus 20:22-23:19) that elaborated on how they could treat others well, including this passage about servants.

Today's passage follows the Ten Commandments and introduces a section of Exodus known as the Book of the Covenant (20:22-23:19) that expands on how God's people can glorify Him and get along well with each other—beginning with true worship.

God led Israel to Mount Sinai so He could give them his commandments that would serve as evidence of their loyalty to Him, and our passage today starts with the first of the Ten.

Three months after being rescued from Egypt, the Israelites approached Mount Sinai, and Exodus 19 prepares them for what will come next: receiving the 10 Commandments.

Today we celebrate the culmination of our annual Vacation Bible School with a special worship service. Today's message given by Senior Pastor Jerry Barber is based on John 3:1-16 and titled, "The 'Problem' with Religion."

In 605 BC, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked Jerusalem. This attack ultimately led to the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BC and the exile of the Southern Kingdom of Judah.

God has rescued his people from slavery, from thirst, from hunger, and from enemies. They are redeemed, but still struggle with sin.

After marching victoriously through the Red Sea, the Israelites faced three major internal obstacles and God provided for them. Now this passage shows how God brought victory against their first external opposition, the Amalekites.

After God miraculously delivered his people Israel from bondage in Egypt by opening the Red Sea, they began traveling in the desert towards the promised land. Today's passage shows both their grumbling against Moses and God's gracious provision.

After 400 years, Israel has finally left Egypt. As they go, Pharaoh's heart is once again hardened so that God is glorified, and so that all people will know that God is the Lord.

Even after nine terrible plagues, Pharaoh refused to allow the Israelites to go worship, but Exodus 12 begins introducing God's preparation for the salvation of his people and how it was to be memorialized forever.

After Pharaoh rejected Moses' demand for him to let the Israelites leave Egypt to worship, God sent plagues to show his supremacy and cause Pharaoh to change his mind.

After God called Moses to deliver Israel, he was met with layers of rejection, and this section of Exodus shows how God responded to Moses when he came to Him in desperation.

After Exodus opens with the story of Moses' birth and miraculous journey into the house of Pharaoh, chapters 2-4 begin focusing on his life as an adult and how God called him to deliver Israel.

Exodus continues the story of God's people Israel in Egypt, picking up where Genesis left off and describing how horrible their situation became.

As the church was being persecuted in Jerusalem, all the believers, except the apostles, scattered throughout Judea and Samaria spreading the gospel.

After the parable about a king and the Ten Minas, Luke 19:28-44 records Jesus' entry into Jerusalem as the messianic King, and the way he entered reveals much about God and how we should respond to him today.

In response to the truths of verses 28-30 assuring us that God is providentially working on our behalf, the Apostle Paul drives home the point of the unbreakable safety of God's love for His own.

Romans 8:18-25 shows that, in God's plan, glory is the climax for both his creation and his people. The passage for today (8:26-30) builds on those great thoughts by answering the question, "What happens while we wait for his plan to unfold?"

Paul's statement in Romans 8:17 about believers being on a path to glory introduces a section (verses 18-30) that elaborates on the future glory of Christians.

In verses 5-14, Paul contrasted life in the flesh to life in the Spirit. In verses 14-17, he shows us the blessings of adoption that comes from life in the Spirit.
