A Mediator, Idols and Altars Exodus 20:18-26

This message asks the question..."Are you an Idol builder or an Altar builder"?  Whomever reigns in our heart and how we live our lives, tell which one we are building.  Through the example of Moses we are encouraged to be "Altar" builders for God. Romans 12:1  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

God's Top Ten Words Exodus 20:1-11 Part 1

God's first four commandments deal with our relationship and our covenant with Him. He is basically saying to us, "I want you to take Me seriously and I want you to take what you say and what you do seriously."  God is a jealous God!  He said,  "You shall have no other god's before Me". The god's in our lives can be in the form of money, material possessions, other people, ourselves, our time etc. God wants first place in our lives ahead of everything else. Where would you say He is at on your priority list?

An Appointment With The Almighty - Exodus 19

God is a speaking God. Just as He spoke to Moses and to the Children of Israel, He desires to speak to us and wants us to know how important it is for us to hear His voice.

Moses, You Can't Do It Alone Exodus 18

"Many hands make light work" as the saying goes. How true, when it comes to being a part of fulfilling the call of God regarding His church. God has called and gifted each one of His kids to use their gifts to edify the church and to glorify God, for the advancement of His kingdom. 

Moses listened to the wise advice of his father-in-law Jethro to enlist more leaders to help meet the mutiple needs of the children of Israel. As a result their needs were taken care of. Being a part of the church is a call for..."All hands on deck".

The On Going Battle Exodus 17:8-16

Exodus 17 gives us a picture of the ongoing battle of our flesh verses the Holy Spirit in us. We can know victory as we choose to obey God's Word and walk in the power of the Holy Spirit. 

We also see the importance and need for one another. Aaron and Hur held up Moses' hands, as he held up the rod of the Lord. With the aide of these three, the power and presence of God, Joshua and his army were able to win the battle and experience victory over their worst enemey...the Amalakites.

Exodus 17:14-15
Then the Lord said to Moses, "Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven."

And Moses built an altar and called its name, Yahweh Nissi -  The-Lord-Is-My-Banner; 

After God's Own Heart In An Idolatrous World Jeremiah 3

Today we are surrounded by many forms of idolatry, which we can tend to worship. It may be sports, sports figures, material possessions, money, a person and even ourselves. We cannot worship other things and God at the same time. This message encourages us to be like King David and love God with all of our heart...after all, there is no one who will ever love you more than God does.

On Christ The Solid Rock We Stand And Drink - Exodus 17:1-7

The Children of Israel continue their journey through the wilderness and find themselves thirsting for water again. As usual they grumble and complain, ready to throw stones at Moses for taking them out of Egypt. Moses turns to the Lord and cries for help, which God responds graciously and  provides for His ungrateful, faithless people again. God happens to be very resourceful! He provides water from inanimate object to quench their thirst and reveals that He indeed is a patient, caring and loving God. He then leads them to Rephidim, which means...place of rest.

Because He loves us,we can have peace knowing that when we are waterless in the wilderness, He will care for us in the most unexpected ways. We can rest in His care for us. He is our solid Rock upon which we can stand, He gives us living water to drink so that we will never thirst again.
